As we continue to recognize Pride Month, it is important that we highlight the stories of the LGBTQ+ community. In today’s very special episode we discuss the 2017 book Boy Erased and it’s 2018 film adaptation. We are joined by trailblazing Scranton City Council member Dr Jessica Rothchild to talk about not only the book and movie but also the horrors of conversion therapy.
More about Jessica:
Dr. Jessica Rothchild was elected to Scranton City Council in 2019, making history as the city’s first out LGBTQ member. While on council, she has proposed and passed an ordinance banning conversion therapy in Scranton. Jessica lives with her wife, 15 month old daughter, and two goldendoodles. In addition to being a Councilwoman, she works full-time as a physical therapist in outpatient rehabilitation. She is a graduate of the University of Scranton with both a Doctor of Physical Therapy and a Bachelors of Exercise Science degree. Jessica has always been a passionate advocate for the LGBTQ community since college, founding her school’s first official LGBTQ student organization. She has served on many non-profit boards. She is currently a member of the PA Commission for Women and the PA State Democratic Committee. She is the Vice Chair for the LGBTQ Caucus of the PA Democrats. In her spare time, she is an avid skier and enjoys hiking.

This week Donny and Maura talk about the Italian novel “The Lost Daughter” by Elena Ferrante and the 2021 Netflix movie directed by Maggie Gyllenhaal. The film is nominated for many Academy Awards, including Best Adapted Screenplay, Olivia Colman for Best Actress, and Jesse Buckley for Best Supporting Actress. The book and movie introduced us to a new term “maternal ambivalence”, and Donny and I confess we were about lost ourselves this week. https://www.areelpageturner.com/
