The Wednesday Show with Cyril Mychalejko for June 23, 2021

<p>On today's show, we talk about Cyril's latest column, “<a href='https://www.buckscountycouriertimes.com/story/opinion/2021/06/17/mychalejko-conversion-therapy-barbaric-abuse-lgbtq-youth/5294994001/'>Conversion therapy is a barbaric abuse of LGBTQ youth and it's legal in PA</a>” and how important it is to support state legislators like Jessica Benham (D-Allegheny County) & Brian Sims (D-Philadelphia) who are working to ban conversion therapy. Their co-sponsored bill, <a href='https://www.legis.state.pa.us/cfdocs/billinfo/BillInfo.cfm?syear=2021&sind=0&body=H&type=B&bn=729'>House Bill 729</a> would, as Cyril puts is, "ban this medical quackery based on the disproven premise that being LGBTQ is some kind of disease or disorder." </p> <p>Then we dig into <a href='https://cyrilmychalejko.substack.com/'>Cyril's newsletter on Substack</a> a bit. We take a look at his news round up, "<a href='https://cyrilmychalejko.substack.com/p/white-supremacy-gains-popularity'>White Supremacy Gains Popularity in Oregon, Conservatives Give Millions to White Nationalist Hate Group, Climate Defenders in the Crosshairs, and More!</a>” Then we check in with his latest "Meet a Progressive" feature, "Activism You Can Dance to with Bonnie Chang, "founder of <a href='https://www.facebook.com/bucksvoices/'>Bucks Voices</a>, a voter engagement group based in Bucks County, PA, that “informs, engages and mobilizes” our community to realize the ideals of our democracy." </p> <p>Cyril will be moving over into the driver's seat for the next two shows as Kevin takes a couple of weeks of vacation with his family.
