LAST CALL: NEW ORLEANS DYKE BAR HISTORY PROJECT

S3 Ep4 "Joy as in \"Fuck You\"!" frames joy as resistance while Louisiana's 2023 anti-trans bills keep moving.

LAST CALL: NEW ORLEANS DYKE BAR HISTORY PROJECT's 'S3 Ep3: From Fire and Ashes, A Trans Phoenix is Born' follows Louisiana organizers responding to 2021 anti-trans bills and the violence around them.
