  • Immigration Legislation

    Can you tell us whether Stephen Miller approached TN legislators about authoring bills, or did they ask him for help? Either way, it sends chills through me.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Macon Kimbrough: Former Warehouse 28 Manager and LGBTQ Activist
Q: What was being protested during the DC trip in 1979 aside from the obvious focus on rights?
The trip was about basic human rights—fighting for protections against firing, discriminatory leases, and ensuring legal recourse for LGBTQ people seeking equality.
Macon Kimbrough: Former Warehouse 28 Manager and LGBTQ Activist
Q: For those listening, where exactly was the marker and the Warehouse located in Nashville?
The marker sits near Franklin Road, with the Warehouse location near Melrose and across from a notable mid-modern building; it's described as a discreet, low-signage venue that maintained privacy while serving as a central community hub.
Jordan Ritter Conn: Writer and Author, 'American Men'
Q: What was the biggest challenge in getting the subjects to share vulnerable moments?
It required building trust by allowing participants to bail if needed, which paradoxically increased openness and honesty as they felt empowered in the process.
Jordan Ritter Conn: Writer and Author, 'American Men'
Q: How long did you work on this project before starting to write deeper structure around the four men?
He began pursuing this in 2020, cast a wide net, and gradually narrowed to four subjects after years of outreach and in-person engagement, emphasizing the long, deliberate process behind the book.
Jordan Ritter Conn: Writer and Author, 'American Men'
Q: Do you buy that popular culture has a simplistic view of men and women in relationships?
The author suggests that while stereotypes persist, the book aims to illuminate the inner lives of men, offering women insight and encouraging men to understand themselves more deeply, rather than reinforcing broad brushstrokes.
