Bullying of LGBT Youth Continues, with Tragic Consequences

Show date: 
January 21, 2012

Recent suicides of LGBT teens across the country go largely unnoticed in our media-jaded culture. Angie interviews educater and author of the memoir Once Removed Ron Schmidt about his experiences as an out teacher in the California school system. Ron came to terms with his own homosexuality as an adult after a conflicted Catholic upbringing. He conquered his own pain and went on to become a resource, friend and guide to isolated and frightened teens in the Morgan Hill Public School System where he taught for more than a decade, and to organizations and causes around the state and beyond. Ron is a co-founder of the South Bay Chapter of the Bay Area Network of Gay and Lesbian Educators (BANGLE.)

December 4, 2009 Hour 1 - A Sustainable Liberal Media?

It's our swan song at Green 960AM. Before moving to KRXA in Monterey next week, we have an esteemed panel of some of our favorite voices on to explore how any liberal news/information entity, be it radio, blog, whatever, can survive and even thrive in today's economy (and political climate). Guests include Green 960 program director John Scott, David Dayen of FireDogLake, Robert Cruickshank of Calitics, and a new voice to the show, Erin Polgreen of the Media Consortium. Also joining Angie are Eve Gittelson, also of FireDogLake and Dante Atkins - Hekebolos at Daily Kos. And because it's Friday - Gotta Laff of The Political Carnival is here for her regular run-down of Right Wing dementia.
