Summary102 Exclusive Enough? What Young Adults Really Think About Monogamy
1w ago00:48:20Summary readyThis week on Them Before Us Radio: HHS quietly shelves its threat to strip Medicare and Medicaid funding from hospitals providing gender-affirming care to minors — is the administration protecting kids, or just keeping a threat alive without ever having to win the fight? Then, a new survey says monogamy isn't dead among young adults after all, but a vocal minority wants relationships without exclusivity. What does that cost the kids who can't consent to it? Plus, new research says America's missing babies aren't blocked by money, but by loneliness, the friendship recession, and the baby bust may be the same crisis. And in Here for the Comments, Sam and Jenn tackle a video takedown of the Greater Than campaign, the left's growing comfort with political violence, and what really motivates opposition to gay marriage.
