Is Trump's War on Iran Illegal? Gas Hikes, Culture Chaos & More The U.S. and Israel have launched major military strikes on Iran — and Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has been confirmed dead in the conflict. What started as a limited strike has already escalated with Iranian retaliation and global tensions rising. Critics are calling this an illegal war, and analysts warn gas prices could spike sharply as oil markets react.  President Trump is publicly touting the campaign as a ‘victory' — even suggesting Americans will sacrifice while his own family is spared from frontline risk. Meanwhile, everyday Americans are bracing for the real consequences: higher energy costs, economic instability, and the possibility of this conflict drawing out.  But that's not all. Another mass shooting has renewed national debate over gun violence. Anti-LGBTQ legislation is advancing in New Hampshire, bringing civil rights tensions back into the spotlight. And Hollywood? Your very own entertainment industry is celebrating itself even as the world fractures around it. This was one hell of a weekend — war, division, culture clashes, and political hypocrisy. #TrumpIranWar, #IranConflict, #MiddleEastWar, #KhameneiKilled, #IsraelUSStrikes, #GasPrices, #EnergyCrisis, #IllegalWar, #USPolitics, #DonaldTrump, #WarOnIran, #OilMarket, #GlobalNews, #CurrentEvents, #BreakingNews, #MassShooting, #GunViolence, #NewHampshire, #LGBTQRights, #CivilRights, #HollywoodNews, #EntertainmentIndustry, #PoliticalAnalysis, #WarConsequences, #DemocracyWatch, #TheKarelShow, #IndependentMedia, #LasVegasBroadcaster, #PublicPolicy, #NewsCommentary

The LGBTQ advocacy organization GLAAD tracked more than 1,000 acts of hate against the LGBTQ community last year. Dozens were in Ohio.

We discuss what's being proposed at the state and federal level and the impact on families.

Lead sponsor of the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill, John Ntim Fordjour, is renewing pressure on Parliament to reinstate the controversial Anti-LBGTQ Bill on the order paper.

President Mahama and the Majority Leader are defying the Speaker of Parliament on the anti-LGBTQ bill, intending to block its presentation, and there will be serious demonstrations in the country if they attempt it. - Rev. Ntim Fordjour, MP for Assin South

President John Dramani Mahama has called for the reintroduction of the "Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill" in Parliament to allow for debates and possible passage. He promised to sign the bill into law if it reaches his desk

It's been 10 years since Obergefell vs. Hodges led to same-sex marriage  becoming law throughout the United States. Now, the Supreme Court may hear a case that could overturn that decision. A new study confirms higher rates of depression and anxiety in LGBTQ+ youth. And this year's Sexiest Man Alive is breaking the internet … and breaking barriers. It's our LGBTQ+ news roundtable!

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ https://www.bastabugie.it/8320LE LOBBY GAY GRIDANO: ''META E' ORA UN'AZIENDA ANTI-LGBTQ'' di Fabio Piemonte Niente più chat a tema con colori o simboli transgender o non binari. Meta, il colosso dei social network, ha infatti recentemente rimosso le opzioni di chat per chi si autoproclami transgender e non binario dall'app Messenger. Tali temi, ispirati alle bandiere del Pride, erano stati introdotti nel 2021 e nel 2022 per celebrare il Mese dell'orgoglio Lgbtqi+ e la Giornata internazionale delle persone "non binarie". Naturalmente le lobby che promuovono l'ideologia di genere e i loro strenui sostenitori non hanno gradito tale rimozione. «Meta è ora un'azienda anti-Lgbtq», hanno infatti prontamente dichiarato costoro in segno di protesta contro le nuove policy dell'azienda.Questa decisione rientra in un piano strategico più ampio di cambiamento nelle politiche di Meta, che include l'interruzione dei suoi programmi di diversità, equità e inclusione (DEI) e la modifica delle Linee guida per la moderazione dei contenuti. In particolare l'azienda di Zuckerberg ha allentato alcune restrizioni a tutela della libertà di pensiero e di espressione, consentendo ora anche la possibilità di appellare le persone che orbitano nella galassia LGBTQ+ quali «disturbate sul piano psicologico» in base al loro orientamento sessuale.Relativamente all'ideologia di genere e ai suoi dettami mainstream Zuckerberg non è l'unico che negli ultimi tempi ha quanto meno invertito leggermente la rotta. Per esempio anche il patron di Tesla e del social X Elon Musk ha denunciato a più riprese di esser stato vittima di un inganno subdolo, incriminando proprio la dittatura del politicamente corretto su questi temi: «Non mi è stato spiegato che i bloccanti della pubertà sono in realtà solo farmaci sterilizzanti. Così ho perso mio figlio. Lo chiamano 'deadnaming' per un motivo, ossia perché tuo figlio è morto, quindi mio figlio Xavier è morto, ucciso dal virus della cultura woke». Insomma, a quanto pare anche il Ceo di Facebook ha ormai compreso che il vento oltreoceano e in Europa sta cambiando, poiché sulle macerie dell'ideologia di genere sta tornando a risplendere il senso di realtà che annuncia un'evidenza palese: nessuno nasce nel corpo sbagliato perché la verità dell'essere umano è scritta nei cromosomi e in ogni cellula del suo corpo.Pertanto ciascuno deve poter essere libero di esprimersi nel rispetto della dignità propria e del suo interlocutore, senza l'obbligo di dover adoperare forzatamente parole ipocritamente inclusive, vuote etichette "politicamente corrette" e soltanto ideologiche in salsa gender che - alla stregua di asterischi e schwa - stanno ormai stancando anche chi le adopera in maniera corrente magari solo per stare al passo con i tempi. Ma si sa, i tempi e le mode passano, la verità resta.Nota di BastaBugie: nell'articolo seguente dal titolo "Gli LGBT delinquono di più" si spiega perché secondo una ricerca scientifica le persone omosessuali delinquono il doppio rispetto alla restante popolazione. Il triplo se sono transessuali.Ecco l'articolo completo pubblicato su La Nuova Bussola Quotidiana il 12 novembre 2024:La sovrarappresentazione delle persone che si identificano come LGBTQ+ nel Sistema giuridico penale è stato redatto per conto della Safety and Justice Challenge da Jane Hereth, Assistant Professor of Social Work presso l'Helen Bader School of Social Welfare dell'Università del Wisconsin-Milwaukee.I dati che fornisce questo rapporto sono sorprendenti. Nel 2022, ultimo anno in cui sono disponibili dei dati a carattere nazionale, il 9% della popolazione carceraria statunitense è costituita da persone LGBT. Eppure negli States le persone LGBT sono il 4,5%. Dunque, proporzionalmente, le persone LGBT che delinquono sono il doppio rispetto alla popolazione non LGBT. Se poi andiamo ad analizzare la popolazione giovanile scopriamo che il 20% della popolazione carceraria è costituita da giovani LGBT. Fuori dalle carceri la percentuale di giovani LGBT è del 9,5%. Anche in questo caso abbiamo il doppio di possibilità che una persona LGBT delinqua.Categoria soggetta particolarmente alla detenzione sono i transessuali (nel caso di specie: uomini che si sentono donne). Il 16% di costoro afferma di aver trascorso del tempo in carcere. La media negli States per persone non transessuali è il 5%. Più del triplo dunque. Interessante poi quest'ultimo dato: il 40% dei giovani senzatetto è LGBT.Perché le persone LGBT delinquono di più? Non c'entra nulla la discriminazione o l'emarginazione sociale, bensì il fatto che disordine porta disordine. Il disordine morale e quindi antropologico dell'omosessualità e della transessualità espone queste persone a vivere una esistenza altrettanto disordinata e dunque a volte anche al di là della legalità. Prova ne è la percentuale di persone LGBT tra i senzatetto. La mancanza di ordine nella propria esistenza può spingere ai margini della società, vivendo nella povertà e nell'illegalità. Se poi andiamo ad analizzare solo le persone trans, come evidenzia il rapporto, spesso costoro si prostituiscono e quindi vengono arrestate.

LGBTQ+ journalist BJ Ferguson discusses the article, "Why physician voices matter in the fight against anti-LGBTQ+ laws." The conversation serves as a call to action for medical professionals, arguing that their duty to protect patient health now extends beyond the clinic and into the legislative arena. BJ outlines how anti-LGBTQ+ laws, particularly those targeting gender-affirming care, directly threaten patient well-being and undermine a physician's core commitment to do no harm. The discussion provides five clear, actionable steps for doctors to engage politically, from testifying at hearings and meeting with officials to using media and organizing their peers. Citing recent examples where physician testimony helped halt harmful legislation, this episode makes the powerful case that advocacy does not compromise medical ethics—it fulfills them.

The center is celebrating this milestone and Pride Month amidst a slew of changing laws and orders on the state and federal levels, from banning gender-affirming care to prohibiting DEI programs at public universities.

Amidst the joy of Pride, we discuss how the Trump administration's policies are hurting LGBTQ+ communities and find out how they are resisting and fighting back.

GAYS AGAINST GROOMERS IS STILL FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT And I've got Rich Guggenheim on with an update since the passage of SB25-1213 made Colorado a hotspot of trans affirmation. He's on at 1pm. We can talk about how a group made entirely of LGBTQ people has been named "Anti-LGBTQ" by the hate group SPLC.

Donald Trump's return to the White House has helped give rise to many disturbing trends in merican politics and policy in recent months, and one of the most troubling has been the crusade to marginalize and revive discrimination against LGBTQ+ Americans. Both in Washington and Raleigh, conservative politicians and their appointees have been working hard […]

Recorded pre-Easter and pre-Pope dying, Erin is on her way to Whistler in Canada for a long weekend and Bryan is worried about whether his iMessage reaction to a straight man was sending the wrong signal. Erin shares news out of the UK where the TERF organization For Women Scotland won a court ruling defining a woman by biological sex. Bryan tells us about Alabama legislators passing multiple bills, including some forcing the display of the 10 Commandments, banning drag shows and prohibiting pride flags in public schools.

This week Erin is back in Jigsaw's basement (Vancouver). Bryan has a memorable dining experience in NYC, plus he has a birthday surprise (and demonstration!) of Erin's birthday gift from Madison Avenue. Bryan informs us of Republicans changing their vote in the Montana legislature after both HB 675 and HB 754 targeting drag and trans children were defeated due to impassioned speeches on both sides of the aisle. Erin praises Rep. Bill Keating for his allyship in standing up for Rep. Sarah McBride who continues to be misgendered by Republicans in Congress.

President Trump recently signed an executive order to suspend the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program and resettlement funding. However, a federal judge has blocked Trump's actions — calling it an overreach. For a roundtable discussion, “Closer Look” is joined by Reverend John R. Moeller Jr., the president and CEO of Inspiritus, Aimee Zangandou, the executive director of Refugee and Immigrant Services at Inspiritus and Louisa Merchant, the director of Refugee Ministries at All Saints Episcopal in Midtown. They talk with Rose regarding the disruption of resettlement services, the suspension of funding and other efforts to serve thousands of service refugees in Georgia. Plus, Georgia lawmakers are weeks away from Sine Die for the 2025 legislative session. As the session is nearing an end, the ACLU is tracking 527 proposed bills, from across the U.S., that they refer to as “anti-LGBTQ bills. ” The ACLU claims 11 of those bills have been introduced in the Georgia Legislature. Jeff Graham, the executive director of Georgia Equality, talks more about the proposed legislation his organization is watching that allegedly targets the LGBTQ+ community.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  If there's anything more absurd than the Trump administration's cheerleading for hateful policies on matters of race and gender, it's the ineptitude behind it. The people implementing these policies are so mean-spirited and clueless that, as Associated Press reported last week, they're erasing thousands of images from Defense Department websites that honored heroes who […]

Montana Republican lawmakers are again proposing upwards of two dozen bills aimed at the state's LGBTQ population. Some are advancing while others were voted down.

Evangelikale Christen haben nicht nur in den USA großen Einfluss. Sie pflegen auch gute Kontakte in Afrika und lobbyieren dort für strenge Gesetze gegen Homosexuelle. Durch Trumps Wiederwahl dürften queere Menschen dort weiter unter Druck geraten. Peltner, Arndt; Rühl, Bettina www.deutschlandfunk.de, Hintergrund

During a House hearing on USAID programs this week, Republican Representative Nancy Mace was so enraged about being called out over her use of an anti-LGBTQ slur that she decided to quadruple down on it and began shouting the slur repeatedly. Mace then became even more outraged when Democratic Representative Gerry Connolly asked if this violates the decorum rules, and she trashed him for being a man lecturing a woman. The whole thing was beyond insane.Donald Trump's press secretary Karoline Leavitt has not had a great start to her career, and she made it worse this week with a linguistic flub that left critics mocking her across social media. But in their haste to attack her over the flub, the critics missed the context of her remarks, which is what they should have been paying attention to because it was nothing but lies and deflection. Fox News announced this week that they are adding a new host to their weekend lineup: Lara Trump. The daughter-in-law of the president will be hosting a show on Saturdays going forward. This is a blatant conflict of interest for both Lara and the network, but conservatives had nothing but praise for the move. Fox is officially a mouthpiece for the Trump administration.Donald Trump went completely bonkers after he fell for a thoroughly debunked right wing conspiracy this week, and he took to Truth Social to make the problem so much worse. Conservatives alleged this week that the USAID office had given $8 million to media outlet Politico, but that never actually happened. But Trump's tirade about the alleged misuse of funds didn't come until AFTER the story had been debunked by multiple different media outlets, and he's going to use this rage to go after outlets that he hates.Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

Around 14,000 subscribers read the locally-owned community newspaper Hoodview News every month. Along with community events, feel-good stories about the East County area and advertisements, readers find columns that espouse and encourage a transphobic worldview. Hoodview News is published by longtime Oregon political operative Mike Wiley — perhaps best known for his work as communications director for the Oregon Citizens Alliance, or OCA, an ultra-conservative activist group that pushed stridently anti-LGBTQ+ ballot measures across the state in the 1980s and 1990s. OPB journalist Leah Sottile joins us with the story.

(Perhaps they are throwing food at the screen?)Kicking things off this week, Casey is storytelling about his trip in to Studio AA this week and Mark is taking out the post VP debate trash.Trash Talk topics this week include Melania's late with her messaging --- again; an election official gets read in open court before sentencing; all the tea on the Dump watches -- and it's low (even for Dump); and a follow up on last week's outing of a gay porn actor turned Anti-LGBTQ+ activist.All this and recommendations too?!

Texas' governor is spending millions & using anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric to defund public educationLGBTQ Nation, By Daniel Villarreal , on May 24, 2024https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2024/05/texas-governor-is-spending-millions-using-anti-lgbtq-rhetoric-to-defund-public-education/ In Texas, Governor Greg Abbott is promoting a school voucher program to redirect taxpayer funds to private schools, aiming to enhance parental choice. Abbott's push faces resistance, even within his own party. He argues parents should support vouchers to avoid LGBTQ+ teachers educating their children, despite past legislative failures.The program's supporters say it expands parental rights by financially supporting private school attendance. Critics claim it undermines public schools and worsens inequality. Abbott's campaign involves substantial financial backing for pro-voucher candidates, targeting GOP dissenters.Jason Friedman likens Abbott's campaign to a business operation aimed at consolidating power. Cindy traces the GOP's effort to weaken public education to the Reagan era, noting Texas ranks low in educational attainment. She argues Abbott's rhetoric is a distraction from real issues like underfunding.Kara discusses the social impact, arguing the fear of LGBTQ+ teachers is baseless and manipulative. The panel also suggests Abbott's campaign might lead to lawsuits against public schools over race and LGBTQ+ issues, potentially influencing Supreme Court rulings.Overall, the Texas voucher debate intertwines political maneuvering, financial interests, and ideological battles, with significant implications for education's future.The Non-Prophets, Episode 23.23.1 featuring Scott Dickie, Kara Griffin, Cindy Plaza and Jason FriedmanBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-non-prophets--3254964/support.

It's an EmMajority Report Thursday! She speaks with Regina Kunzel, professor of history and women's, gender, and sexuality studies at Yale University, to discuss her recent book In the Shadow of Diagnosis: Psychiatric Power and Queer Life. Then, she speaks with Beshara Doumani, professor of Palestinian studies at Brown University, to discuss the 76th anniversary of the Nakba. First, Emma runs through updates on South Africa's ICJ appeal to stop Israel's Rafah invasion, growing public dissent from Biden allies to his support of Israel's genocide, the US' detainment of an anti-zionist Israeli academic, Bob Menendez's genius legal tactic, the assassination attempt on Slovakia's Prime Minister, Trump's legal woes, Argentinian homophobic hate crimes, and Louisiana gerrymandering, before watching CNN try to save face on their coverage of the violence against student protesters. Professor Regina Kunzel then dives right into the history of the psychiatric industry, from its roots as a custodial care industry (asylums, etc) in the 19th Century, through its slow battle for professional legitimacy over the first half of the 1900s, exploring how this push for legitimacy saw the industry lay claim to a wide range of “problems in living” such as anxiety, depression, and (importantly) homosexuality and gender nonconformity. Expanding on this, Professor Kunzel tackles the presentation of queerness as a “treatable” mental disorder, one that would eventually be codified as a personality disorder (alongside pedophilia and sadism) with the introduction of the DSM in 1952, before stepping back to look at the role World War II, and more specifically the emphasis on mental health screenings, had in giving state-backed legitimacy to the psychiatric industry writ large, and in its particular pathologization of queer identity. After looking at the central role de-pathologizing homosexuality played in the gay rights movement of the 1970s, and the side-effect of gender “deviance” taking a back seat to homosexuality, Professor Kunzel wraps up with the re-emergence of the medical and psychiatric attack on queer identity with the mainstreaming of transphobic politics over the last decade. Professor Beshara Doumani then joins, walking through the 76 years of Palestinian oppression and ethnic cleansing since the 1948 Nakba, with the original event seeing the expulsion of over 80% of Palestinians from their homes, the end of the Palestinian state (and Palestinian society), and the creation of the State of Israel in the vacuum left by British colonial rule. Continuing the conversation, Professor Doumani contextualizes the central role the Nakba plays in Palestinian trauma and oppression to this day, exacerbated and brought to the fore with the following “earthquakes” of the 1967 Six-Day War, which saw hundreds of thousands more Palestinians ethnically cleansed, and the Oslo Accords complete isolation of Palestinians between the river and the sea. After diving deeper into the particular failure of the 2-state “solution,” Professor Doumani walks Emma through the specific repression he's faced as a Palestinian academic, and the tremendous increase it has seen in the wake of October 7th. And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Brandon Sutton and Matt Binder as they watch British bigot Mike Graham boot Arab-Israeli Jew Avi Shlaim from his program for being honest about Israeli apartheid. Alec from Western New York explores the evolution of his perspective on anti-zionism, Mike in Denver on the second coming of meme-stock, and Bumble creator discusses the alienating future of AI-infused dating.

The Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values bill, drafted in 2021, was passed by parliamentarians in Ghana earlier this year.
