When the State of Texas denied funding for the Gay Softball World Series, the county which includes the city of Houston, contributed almost a half a million dollars to host the event. But first, gay obsessed Tucker Carlson apparently has super gaydar and has concluded that Pete Buttigieg is a “fake gay”. He would like to ask Mayor Pete some specific gay sex questions to prove his point. We can't wait. Finally, Kids in The Hall actor, Scott Thompson, says GLAAD should be eliminated. While working on a special for Amazon Prime, GLAAD censored and deleted all 14 sketches from his gay barfly character, Buddy Cole.

Hon var Hollywoods första miljondollarstjärna som sprängde studiosystemet inifrån. Men det var som aktivist hon till slut hittade sin livs roll. Nya avsnitt från P3 ID hittar du först i Sveriges Radio Play. Elizabeth Taylor (1932-2011) slår igenom som barnstjärna i filmen Lassie och är sedan världsberömd för resten av sitt liv. Hon kommer att vinna två Oscars och medverka i filmklassiker som Katt på hett plåttak, Jätten och Vem är rädd för Virginia Woolf?Det är med blockbustern Cleopatra som hon inte bara blir fri från det tvingande studiosystemets klor utan också blir Hollywoods första filmstjärna att tjäna en miljon dollar för sin insats. Det är också under den inspelningen hon möter sin stora kärlek Richard Burton och en affär som blir dubbad ”Le Scandale” av skvallerpressen inleds. ”Liz and Dick” som paret kallas drar till sig sådan uppmärksamhet att det blir grogrunden för vår tids paparazzi-kultur, och uppståndelsen kring Elizabeth Taylors person bedarrar aldrig riktigt, mycket eftersom hon gifter sig åtta gånger, med sju olika män.Men Hollywood-skandaler och filmer är bara en liten del av biografin över Elizabeth Taylor. När AIDS-epidemin lamslår Ronald Reagans USA, är det Elisabeth Taylor som tar ton och driver på i maktens centrum. För hennes långa - och ibland inkognito - engagemang i frågan adlas hon av Elizabeth II.P3 ID om Elizabeth Taylor är historien om ett liv som innehåller så många kapitel, att det ter sig osannolikt. Om diamanter stora som plommon, en filmindustri i förändring och Michael Jackson.I avsnittet medverkar författaren Kate Andersern Brower, som skrivit den officiella biografin om Taylor, och kulturjournalisten Karin Svensson.Programledare och avsnittsmakare: Vendela LundbergProducent: Patrick StaneliusLjudmix: Fredrik NilssonI programmet hörs ljudklipp från: MGM, ABC, The David Frost Tapes, HBO Max Elizabeth Taylor The Lost Tapes, Around the world of Mike Todd, HBOs Bright Lights, The making of Cleopatra, 60 minutes, The Warners - a candidates lifestyle, Mavis on 4, Saturday Night Live, The Larry King Show, The Oprah Winfrey Show och GLAAD.

Jo Jo Siwa BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.JoJo Siwa's whirlwind summer has kept her squarely in the celebrity spotlight. After igniting headlines when she entered the Celebrity Big Brother house in April, JoJo instantly landed at the center of British reality TV pop culture. Her appearance sparked a friendship with Love Island alum Chris Hughes that quickly blossomed into romance. Just hours after leaving the house, JoJo ended her prior relationship with Kath Ebbs, clarifying in interviews that her split wasn't about Chris even though fans quickly read between the lines. JoJo and Chris publicly confirmed their relationship within weeks and their chemistry was clocked by viewers and media alike. Chris has since admitted that he is “besotted” and wants to marry her, while JoJo told Heat magazine she is “craving children” and even has the name Silver Siwa picked out. She's been refreshingly candid about wanting babies soon and sees starting a family as a clear part of her future.Pregnancy rumors have been swirling faster than her trademark ponytail after a viral TikTok showed Chris affectionately rubbing JoJo's belly. JoJo decided to playfully address the speculation, posting a Two Truths and a Lie video and including “I'm pregnant” as one of the options, effectively shutting down the story with a wink according to People. JoJo has long been open about wanting to be a mom, dating back to her pre-teen years, but for now the internet had to settle for a new single promoted within the video.As for career moves, buzz is building around a rumored reality show featuring JoJo and Chris. Multiple outlets including PA Media and Echo Live report that talks are underway, with Chris confirming “lots of discussions” have happened though nothing official has been announced. He said that the pair would “be very happy and open to filming,” suggesting an announcement could be imminent and fans—dubbed "CoJo"—are eagerly awaiting the next chapter. The pair have been attracting crowds at public events like National Racehorse Week, with the “CoJo” group name taking root among supporters.JoJo's public appearances are also making noise: her red carpet moments at the iHeartRadio Music Awards drew major attention on social media, with TikTok and Instagram lighting up with posts documenting her looks and interactions. She's become a fixture on 2025's award show circuit and her posts with Kath Ebbs at past events like GLAAD and Hadestown's premiere remain fan favorites, even as her relationship status shifted.Across TikTok, JoJo continues to trend with fans referencing her new business ventures and viral moments, while tongue-in-cheek posts about her “prime” and media appearances rack up hundreds of thousands of likes and views. Her every move, from family plans to career ambitions and social escapades, dominate headlines—proof that JoJo Siwa's star power is only growing stronger, and her story remains one of the most talked-about in entertainment right now.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Jenn (@notajenny) and Chels (@chels725) are back one last time to talk about their beloved (and now tragically cancelled) series, Mythic Quest.On their "Heaven and Hell" recap, they talked about that game-changing final scene featuring Ian and Poppy kissing. But now that the ending has changed, Jenn and Chels process how they feel about the original ending's erasure. They also discuss television series cancellations in general, "lost" media, what kind of precedent changing an ending of a cancelled show could create for showrunners in the future, and why people should still watch Mythic Quest even though it won't be returning for another season.They then daydream what could have been for a season five, and end by playing a fun game of selecting currently running TV shows they'd like to transport the Mythic Quest crew into.Enjoy, all!Our recommended media:Gated.

On this week's Very Special episode we are very excited to be talking to GLAAD's Raina Deerwater to discuss the newly published 2025 Studio Responsibility Index - which has found that LGBTQ representation and inclusion in film has it a three year low! Raina and Rowan sit down to talk about why this might be, and what we can do to change it. The GLAAD Studio Responsibility Index (SRI) maps the quantity, quality and diversity of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) characters in films released by ten major motion picture studios during the 2024 calendar year. GLAAD researched films released by A24, Amazon Studios, Apple TV+, Lionsgate, NBCUniversal, Netflix, Paramount Global, Sony, The Walt Disney Studios, Warner Bros. Discovery, and their subsidiaries. The report is intended to serve as a road map toward increasing fair, accurate and inclusive LGBTQ representation in film.

We are not slowing down as my Pride Month Feature rolls along with returning show guest Eisner, GLAAD, and Ringo nominated comics writer Steve Orlando hanging out with me to talk about two of his projects dropping with the big two. Last time he was on we were talking about the ongoing Scarlet Witch series which is being continued in a new five issue mini-series The Vision and The Scarlet Witch, recognizing their 50th wedding anniversary which will see the return of White Vision. It's hard to believe their wedding was 50 years ago in Giant Sized Avengers #4. Steve is promising a Lovecraftian slat to the series which I'm personally rather excited about. Recently it was announced that he will also be working on the Magical Mysteries of Shazam on DC Go!, Venom: Original Sin jumps from Marvel Unlimited Online to print, the exciting conclusion of Ripperland who he's co-writing with John Harris Dunning just wrapped up and will be dropping as a trade soon with Dark Horse Comics, and the trade of Avengers Assemble: The Serpent Scenario just hit too. So, Steve is quite the busy guy at the moment. If you want to catch up with him, you can find him on BlueSky or on Instagram. Shark rescue Byron talked about on the show The Vision and The Scarlet Witch From the publisher The next chapter in one of comics' greatest love stories arrives this May! Celebrating the 50th anniversary of their iconic wedding in GIANT-SIZE AVENGERS (1974) #4, Scarlet Witch and Vision are back together in THE VISION & THE SCARLET WITCH, a five-issue limited series by current SCARLET WITCH scribe Steve Orlandoand returning series artists Lorenzo Tammetta and Jacopo Camagni. THE VISION & THE SCARLET WITCH serves as the latest evolution of Orlando's ongoing SCARLET WITCH run, which has successfully redefined the adventures of Wanda Maximoff. Carving out her own path in the Marvel Universe as a solo hero, Scarlet Witch's magic has never been more powerful. But when it comes to helping Vision, she'll need more than strength alone! Befitting their decades-spanning romance, Scarlet Witch and Vision team up for a dramatic saga that will test their souls and break their hearts! The Magical Mysteries of Shazam!

Life with Tawny, a talking tiger and also Billy's adoptive uncle, is humble. It's not always easy! Billy lives with Tawny's other foster children, Darla, Pedro, and Freddy. Despite all he's been through, Billy is willfully hopeful. In addition to all the struggles a blended foster family faces, Fawcett City isn't exactly the safest place to live. It might be a fantastic, whimsical city full of both humans and talking animals, but it's also got a monster problem—in fact, a Monster Society! Soon Billy is granted the ability to say a magic word and transform into a mighty hero! Fawcett City cheers its new champion—and little do they know, he's one of their own. Or do they? Because Billy's siblings are pretty sure they saw him turn into a full-grown superhero. PATREON We have a new Patreon, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CryptidCreatorCornerpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

This episode is sponsored in part by BetterHelp. This week, we're clipping in with Jess Rothschild to talk about SoulCycle: the high-octane, candlelit cardio craze that once had New Yorkers dropping $20k to ride front row. With $100M+ in revenue, instructors trained like pop stars, and a tightly curated sense of belonging (read: exclusivity), SoulCycle pedaled its way into cultural obsession—and, depending on who you ask, cult status. Jess, a former SoulCycle instructor and host of the GLAAD-nominated Finding Fire Island and new docu-podcast Cult of Body & Soul, joins us to unpack the seductive psychology of the SoulCycle experience: from spiritual monologues to the sweaty transference happening mid-sprint. We talk about limerence, manipulation, performance, and yes, the merch. Whether you're a front-row devotee or just cult-curious, this ride gets personal.

This year's push for awareness will have to go on without acknowledgement by the federal government, which is foregoing any mention of Pride. And the annual report by the advocacy group, GLAAD, notes that while violent incidents against gay and lesbian people are down as a whole in the past year, attacks against trans citizens has significantly increased. We'll check on the status of Native Pride. Plus, we'll get career highlights of the late actor Jonathan Joss (Comanche and White Mountain Apache) who died this week.

This week on The Broski Report, Fearless Leader Brittany Broski discusses millennial core, unpacks her thoughts on Sex and the City, and analyzes Fontaines D.C. lyrics. Thank you to Dunkin for sponsoring this episode!

LGBTQ Americans live in a paradox. On one hand we have a growing population of LGBTQ Americans, a group whose rights are codified nationally with a supermajority of Americans supportive of life outside the heteronormative box, and yet we're seeing a rising level of hate and extremism against that same community and anyone - be they individuals or corporations - who stand up as public allies. How can that be in 2025? Today we talk to Sarah Kate Ellis, President and CEO of GLAAD, about what to do, where we go from here and the potential of a moment like this.  As always, if you find worth in what we do, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.

Money experts reveal the ideal amount of “real” money you should carry in case of an emergency, your card is declined, or you're stranded. Listen and let us know if you agree. But first, Donald Trump's ego military parade on June 14th will cost the taxpayer more than $50 million dollars—including about $16 million of street damage due to heavy equipment. Then, GLAAD commissioned a study about whether people would support a brand that sold PRIDE merch or not. The big reveal is a majority of consumers don't care.

Life isn't just about struggling to live and sacrificing to advance your career. It's about enjoying ourselves, connecting with each other, and using our money to invest in something incredible! It's time to take back our power and live the lives we know we should be living. And we can start by listening to Arielle's incredible story for inspiration.    Arielle Diaz is a Peabody and GLAAD-nominated TV Writer-Producer with credits on GENTEFIED (Netflix), With Love (Prime Video), The Last Man on Earth (FOX), etc. She is a wellbeing advocate and passionate about beauty, ancestral reclamation, and exploring the intersection of wellness, heritage, and storytelling. Arielle mentors and occasionally teaches the art and business of television with The Gotham Institute, and is beginning her journey as an angel investor in clean beauty and wellness consumer brands. She began her career at Google before transitioning into television. Fun fact: Arielle is a neuro-spicy mystic, and her current hyper-fixation is fairies and gnomes—decorating her home altar with all things whimsical and enchanted. It might change next month, but for now, she's living in a bit of magic.   In this week's episode, Arielle shares how she left the cutthroat environment of Hollywood screenwriting when she listened to her intuition and reconnected with her ancestors in Mexico. The trip allowed her to follow her curiosity, which in turn led to her finding solutions to her chronic illness, finding the connection she was seeking, and meeting her future mentor. Tune in to this week's episode to hear how she connected with her ancestors and connected with her highest self.  Follow Arielle on: Instagram: @she.is.that LinkedIn: @ariellediaz   Follow Erika on: Instagram @‌theerikacruzTikTok @‌theerikacruzLinkedIn Website: http://www.theerikacruz.com How to work with Erika: Join the waitlist for the Courage Driven Latina program here.

This week on The Broski Report, Fearless Leader Brittany Broski returns to the tried and true topic of WWII, continues her obsession with Jack O'Connell, and shares media she's been interested in as of late. 

This week Bryan reminisces about his family's (now closed) Italian restaurant in El Paso, and Erin gets in a fight with a Russian man at a Vancouver suspension bridge. Erin shares some good news with Vermont passing S.28 shoring up the state's shield laws for abortion medication and healthcare, plus Montana's striking down of SB 99 which would have banned lifesaving care for trans youth. Bryan reviews GLAAD's 2025 Social Media Safety Index which shows that most social media platforms have rolled back initiatives leading to more harassment and less safety online.

MuggleMillennial.Etsy.com On this week's episode, listen during Chapter-by-Chapter as the MuggleCasters discuss Harry juggling TWO dates in Hogsmeade. One which may have been doomed from the start (with Cho), and another which likely changes the course of Wizarding history (with Rita). Andrew, Eric, Laura, Micah, and Slug Club guest Katie dig in, because it's time for Chapter 25 of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Welcome Slug Club member, Katie! The hosts wish to reassert their disavowal of J.K. Rowling for her role in making women less safe in the U.K. Please visit GLAAD's amazing page for links including FAQs, resources, and tips for allies. Chapter-by-Chapter continues with Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 25: The Beetle at Bay. MuggleCast last discussed this chapter on Episode 462! Harry's feelings toward his fellow students in light of the Azkaban breakout headlines have us once more feeling like we are living in the books today. The Ministry's control of information and issuance of propaganda, the extent which is confirmed in this chapter, is massive but not perfect. Some who look deeper are beginning to see the cracks in the facade. Umbridge's power grabs are becoming unenforceable. The hosts discuss how her main goal appears to be to frighten and dissuade dissenters, even among the staff. Harry and students are impressed by Neville's recent hard work in the D.A. This reminds us about when we made the "Neville Gets Swole" Spotify playlist, perfect for your summertime runs and workouts! Is Hermione single-handedly changing the course of the Wizarding world? We think so. Is there anything the students can/should be doing about Hagrid and his probation? Or is his behavior just too weird, and the students too buried in coursework? Ron has a fair idea, but Hermione shuts him down cold. We hold a memorial service for Ron's strategical aptitude subplot from Book 1. In what ways was "Madame Puddifoot's" NOT the perfect Valentine's spot, and whose fault is it that Harry and Cho's date is a disaster? Was it doomed from the start? Is Rita Skeeter looking for redemption, or just some hot goss? Odds & Ends asks why Ron, Fred or George do not seem to know about Antonin Dolohov's connection with their uncles, nor do they mention it. Most #RealTalk moment of the week? Hosts weigh in. Lynx Line: we asked our Patrons to submit a one-sentence headline sure to grab all of the attention.

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, a pop star declares that every parent she knows is miserable and living in hell. This is part of a broader agenda to convince women to forgo marriage and family life. We'll discuss. Also, there were supposedly 200 protests at Tesla dealerships across the country over the weekend. This is obviously not organic or grassroots. So who is funding all of this, exactly? And the GLAAD awards happened over the weekend, celebrating anyone in the media or Hollywood who helped to push the LGBT agenda last year—which is basically all of them. Click here to join the member-exclusive portion of my show: https://bit.ly/4bEQDy6 Ep.1566 - - - DailyWire+: We're leading the charge again and launching a full-scale push for justice.
