I Wanna Talk About the Women - Episode 2

Greetings Sports Fans and Athletic Supporters:

Come join us Under the Bleachers for Episode 2 of Season 2 - I Wanna Talk About the Women!

This week it’s Laura’s turn to pick the topics. For our queer topic she chose the Vatican’s statement on gay marriage; for our sports topic she chose the US Women’s National Soccer Team; and, for our topic at the intersection of sports and queer, proposed legislation looking to ban trans women and girls from sports.

After that, we share our interview with Team DC Member Club DC’s Different Drummers.
