About this listen

This week on HIGHKEY, Ryan Mitchell and Yvie Oddly welcome the brilliant writer and activist George M Johnson (All Boys Aren’t Blue, Fighting Words). Together, they dive into internet discourse, the rise of banned books, and why Bugs Bunny in a dress still has conservatives clutching pearls.

George opens up about the realities of being at the center of cultural battles, the absurdity of censorship, and how community shows up (or doesn’t) when queer voices are targeted. Plus, the crew unpacks Lil Nas X’s latest headlines, grief on the internet, and what it really means to shut up—or speak out—online.
