Episode notes

Gilbert Gottfried: The original purpose of Pride wasn't acceptance, it was just like leave us alone so we can party and get drunk in this mafia controlled shitty die bar. "There are a lot of crazy people here saying really crazy things," he says about the anti-gay protests at New York City Pride. Gilbert is onboard with Matt Walsh's views on gay rights but thinks that his comments were overblown. 'I don't want to use the word homophobic because I don't think any of these people are actually scared'

EPISODE THREE, THE PRIDE ISSUE: "We're coming for your children," nudity at Pride events, the politicization of the Pride flag, the forever-changing history of Stonewall, the purpose of drag, how Pride has changed over the years, and more.
