#53: The First Queer Woman in Congress

Category: Society & Culture
Duration: 00:36:04
Publish Date: 2018-10-22 11:00:00
Description:

Note: As we were setting this episode to "publish," news came down about the Trump administration’s push to narrow the definition of gender and essentially erasing trans people. It’s fucked up. We are currently working on an episode about trans rights and how scarily precarious they are. Stay tuned and take care of yourselves (and each other).

The first woman ever elected to Congress was queer. So why isn't that ever really mentioned anywhere? This week, we're featuring an episode of WNYC's The United States of Anxiety, hosted by Nancy favorite Kai Wright.

— Kai Wright is the host of The United States of Anxiety.

— Mara Silvers is a producer in the WNYC newsroom.
