About this listen
They let us die then — and they’re letting us die now.
In this powerful episode of HOT AIR, host Joshua Robert draws a chilling line from the government’s silence during the AIDS crisis of the 1980s to today’s deliberate defunding of LGBTQ+ resources — from the shutdown of the 988 suicide hotline’s queer-specific support to attacks on HIV care, trans healthcare bans, and the erasure of LGBTQ+ youth in schools.
With hard facts, historical context, and fiery commentary, this episode breaks down how the playbook hasn’t changed — only the headlines have. It’s a must-listen deep dive into queer history, modern policy, and the ongoing fight for our lives.
🎧 Whether you’re LGBTQ+ or an ally, this episode will inform, enrage, and empower you.
