Tonight it’s Doug Dannger, Gay man and Gay journalist who talks to Phil about a “Teacher of the Year” in Pennsylvania. She lied to her school district about having a brain tumour and took charity from people, extended time off and even a family trip to Disney World. Doug and Phil discuss the time Doug told his bosses at the Orange County Courier that he had AIDS and needed time off.
