Throwing Shade

382: Queer Sex Ed Stories, Women’s Day Brand Activism

New coffee policies, celebrity college scandals, mind-numbing permit problems and more await on this week’s Throwing Shade! Bryan talks about protests at an English school over the inclusion of LGBTQ books and reads stories of the pure insanity that has been queer sex education submitted by listeners. Then, Erin takes aim at the corporations cashing in on International Women’s Day by way of “brand activism,” and the incredible hypocrisy of those companies that just don’t take enough care of their employees. Plus, recommendations!
