MEP for LGBT
b'This episode is the last instalment of the European tour we\\u2019ve been on for the past few months and what better way to end it with an MEP: Kim van Sparrentak. The European Parliament is a wonderfully complex bureaucratic mess. Although it\\u2019s fun for someone who likes political puzzles, it\\u2019s horrible to break them away from their capitalist and queerphobic ways.\\n\\nIt\\u2019ll be no surprise that this one is a very political episode. We talk about political dog whistles as well as being exposed to politics at a young age, and how sometimes you have to accept that the lesser of two evils sometimes is your best option, instead of always wanting to solve it yourself.\\n\\nConsider Supporting through https://Patreon.com/Queersounds\\n\\nFlashback Track: Big Brother & The Holding Company \\u2013 Piece of My Heart\\nQueer Artist Spotlight: Lady Gaga \\u2013 Marry The Night\\nBest Live Experience: Janelle Mon\\xe1e \\u2013 Screwed\\nMost Recent Discovery: Ashnikko \\u2013 Slumber Party (feat.
