In today's episode, we delve into the life and legacy of Barry Winchell, a young soldier whose tragic death sparked a national conversation about discrimination and LGBTQ+ rights in the military.  We explore Winchell's journey as a dedicated soldier in the United States Army and his struggles with identity in a culture that often ostracized those who were different.   We'll discuss the events leading up to Winchell's untimely death, the alcohol and hate fueled attack that took place,  and how his legacy sparked reform and became a call to action for a more inclusive and compassionate society.
