On The Down Lola
Lola was once again joined by best Judy, Thom Turner. They took a look at a few ways to analyze a companies support of LGBTQ communities. What we found is that a company's support should be based on several factors. Is a company's support of customers matched in it's support of it's employees? So many questions.

Entertainment
This year saw the birth of Disney's continued expansion into the world of entertainment. They Launched Disney+, and acquired 20th Century Fox. They released quite a collection of blockbuster hits and three "Live" remakes. Outside of Disney we saw many other blockbuster hits. Jasmine Masters created the catch phrase of the year with "And I Oop!" We also saw the explosion of Lizzo. She launched into acting, voice overs, and was a supporting character in the hit film Hustlers. Her hit single "Juice" was on top of all the charts. We also saw the Country Music Awards award their first openly LGBTQ nominee with Lil Nas and his hit "Old Town Road."
World Pride
2019 Marked the first ever US held World Pride. New York city was in full rainbow mode as the World Pride celebrations also marked the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots. We listened into CBS Weekend News coverage, Speeches from Bette Midler, and Lady Gaga. We also hear Woopi Goldberg's opening remarks from the opening ceremonies. The next World Pride will be in 2021 in Copenhagen, Denmark.
