The Daily Whatever, Aug 21: On Obergefell
Join us every weekday at 10am ET/7a PT and on Saturdays at noon ET/9am PT
It’s always a pleasure when Mr. Troy Ford joins us all the way from Sitges! Today we chatted about the first three months of his novel, Lamb: a novel in snapshots, being released in the world. He shared his successes, his favorite reviews, and his plans for a sequel (!!).
We also chatted about the potential overturning of Obergefell, and how Europeans DGAF about what’s happening in the US, even as most of them are horrified at the prospect of Americans losing marriage equality.
It was a lively discussion, and Troy is such a gem! He’s also trying to get his Substack checkmark, so if you’re inclined to send him some support, you can subscribe to his publication Qstack—the best of queer Substack—for just $1/year.
Huge thanks to everyone who joined us!
