Part 3: The Parrot, the Beaver and the Law

Published on: 16th January, 2024

In the penultimate installment of our deep dive into the landmark Supreme Court ruling just 20 years ago, we'll meet an eccentric justice of the peace, a closeted lesbian prosecutor, a conspiracy-minded judge, a simple country DA about to make what is sadly not the biggest mistake of his life... and more kickass queer attorneys than you can pile into a courtroom.

Lane Lewis will also be joining us again, to walk us through his extraordinary effort to keep the defendants out of the headlines--and out of jail, again.

Lawrence v. Texas is a true crime, miniseries spinoff of Kickass Queers. Kickass Queers shares the incredible life stories of amazing lesbian, gay, transgender, gender-nonconforming and otherwise queer people.
