Daughter of Conservative Radio Host Talks LGBTQ Acceptance in the South

Brandi Burgess is the daughter of Rick Burgess, the co-host of the Rick & Bubba show, a popular, syndicated morning radio show. Throughout her life, Brandi was a "character" on the show, as part of Rick's family -- until she came out as bisexual. Now, Brandi and Rick are at an impasse in their relationship, which has played out over the media and in detail on Rick's show. Brandi felt it was important to share her story, both as a bisexual daughter of a conservative father and as an LGBTQ southerner.
