Episode 103 - PRIDE MONTH - MIND THE GAPS IN THE RAINBOW

In this episode of In The Ring, I simply voice an article I had recently written - Pride Month - Mind the gaps in the rainbow - which reflects on aspects of our experiences as queer people within a heternormative and patriachal world. I acknowledge, reference and affirm the importance of legal rights victories. But, these legal victories do not always translate into changes in our social realities. Also, within "the queer community", there are many communities, and minorities within minorities, such that "the queer community" needs to be problematicsed. I do so by disentangling some of the issues within "the queer community" that are often obscured when we focus narrowly on the legal wins (important as these are). Lastly, this episode also critiques poor corporate allyship, explaining why and how we should guard against gimmicks during Pride Month on the part of companies weaponising our struggles for capitalist ends.

On In The Ring With Eusebius McKaiser I tackle all the uncomfortable topics that dominate public debate. With my reputation for fearless debate as a former World Masters Debate Champ, and a background in law and philosophy, you can expect debates on everything from whether or not it is racist for a non-black person to quote the N-word, to questions of how to tackle inequality, whether people are responsible for unconscious biases, the ethics of refusing to be vaccinated, the status of animals, debating books, and much more! The crucial differentiator of this podcast series compared to others is that it is fearless in its debate orientation, and no topic is off bounds! However, my motto is: "You are entitled to be treated with dignity .... but NOT to have your worldview affirmed!"
