For our first new episode after our summer hiatus, we’re talking with Jackie Biskupski, mayor of Salt Lake City, Utah. She’s the first openly gay elected official in the notably red state, but she talks on the show today about why it was actually harder to run as a woman than as an LGBT individual. She also discusses how Salt Lake City became a hub for LGBT people and how she led the charge to get mayors to commit to 100 percent renewable energy.
