Isn't It Queer

Jonny details his experiences with Hurricane (Tropical Storm, by the time it got to him) Helene during the 35th Annual Gay Spirit Visions Fall Conference at The Mountain Retreat and Learning Center outside Highlands NC. He tells a story of adaptation and resilience and communities coming together to deal with a crisis. In the back half of the show, he takes on the misinformation already circulating about the storm's damage and the Federal response to it. In the process, he assesses both the political and spiritual need to be aware of the world as it is, to respond mindfully to the conditions on the ground.
