BloomingOut hosts Frankie, Rachel and Alex discuss hot topics within the LGBT community including the Masterpiece Cakeshop vs. Colorado Civil Rights Commission and a similar case in Oregon.

During the second half of their discussion, our hosts reflect on experiences from 2017 and set goals for the new year.
