TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ https://www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=7970INTERNET, SOCIAL, CARTONI, HOLLYWOOD: IL CONTAGIO SOCIALE SULLA TRANSIZIONE DI GENERE CHE INVESTE I GIOVANI di Giuliano GuzzoChe cosa succede oggi quando un giovane ha il dubbio di “essere nato nel corpo sbagliato”? Sfortunatamente, succede che, nella misura in cui si affaccia al mondo dei social - lo strumento più immediato, a portata di mano, anzi di smartphone - trova spesso e volentieri spunti che lo incoraggiano allegramente a “cambiare sesso” e a non preoccuparsi troppo delle conseguenze che ciò potrebbe comportare. Un vero e proprio contagio sociale.Esagerazioni? Non esattamente. Prova ne è, pensando per esempio a TikTok, il profilo TikDocTony, che vanta quasi 280.000 follower ed è gestito dal dottor Tony Mangubat del La Belle Vie Cosmetic surgery center and med spa di Seattle, un medico che ha al suo attivo oltre 10.000 interventi e che non fa che parlare della transizione di genere ai giovanissimi all'insegna dell'assenza di ogni limite. Una volta, tanto per fare un esempio eloquente, un utente ha chiesto «qual è l'età ideale per sottoporsi a un intervento chirurgico di alto livello» e Mangubat ha subito risposto: «Quando è giusto per te».Che TikTok c'entri con il boom della transizione di genere è provato anche da delle testimonianze. Per esempio, si guardi alla vicenda di Ash Eskridge, giovane del Montana e oggi detransitioner - cioè trans pentita e desiderosa di tornare al suo sesso biologico – la quale ha raccontato al New York Post di quanto il popolare social abbia influito nel suo percorso: «Su TikTok ho visto i video influencer che sostenevano come la transizione di genere avesse salvato loro la vita [...] Volevo che salvasse anche la mia vita». Parole senza dubbio inequivocabili e che probabilmente oggi riguardano anche molti altri giovani, dato che esiste un nutrito gruppo influencer transgender che si servono dei canali social per veicolare la loro personale visione del mondo, che spesso e volentieri di sostanzia in una antropologia fluida tale per cui per chiunque è giusto dire può “essere chi si sente” di essere. Non stupisce, a questo punto, apprendere che molti giovani “fluidi” o trans facciano oggi coming out su Internet prima che in famiglia o a scuola.Dunque è assodato, purtroppo, che TikTok sia il social che più “influenza” le giovani menti, anche per un fattore di utenza anagrafica. Il social di video-sharing di origini cinese, infatti, lanciato nel 2016 e diventato sempre più usato soprattutto dal 2020 in poi, è di fatto l'attuale social più “giovanile” in circolazione, vantando un pubblico composto in gran parte da adolescenti. Questo - ed è assodato, nonché denunciato da più parti – rende la stessa piattaforma particolarmente vulnerabile a questioni legate alla sicurezza online come il cyberbullismo, la pedofilia e l'incitamento a comportamenti pericolosi. Facile, dunque, infiltrarsi nelle maglie larghe di TikTok per veicolare qualsiasi ideologia si voglia, soprattutto se quest'ultima - appunto quella gender - è per giunta difesa dal mainstream.PERCHÉ PROPRIO TIKTOKMa, viene da chiedersi, perché proprio TikTok e perché, in generale, proprio i social network? La risposta è, purtroppo, tanto facile quanto drammatica. In tutto il mondo, infatti, e in particolare negli ultimi anni, si sta riscontrando un sensibile aumento delle domande di riassegnazione di genere fra i bambini e gli adolescenti. Va da sé, quindi, che i terreni più fertili per la propaganda Lgbtqia+ siano proprio quelli più frequentati da giovani e giovanissimi.Come detto, dunque, tanto su TikTok ma anche su Youtube, Instagram e Facebook, abbondano video sia in italiano che in inglese, nei quali vengono riportate foto e testimonianze di giovani che stanno compiendo o hanno compiuto il percorso di transizione. Alcune criticano i luoghi comuni su questi argomenti, altre si centrano proprio sul racconto del percorso che il soggetto sta compiendo, altre ancora hanno una prospettiva più “clinica”, e poco importa a questi “influencer” se le informazioni riportate sono spesso se non sempre pesanti fake news. Ormai, infatti, il mantra «l'ho visto sui social» è il nuovo «l'ha detto la televisione», ed è dunque preso per assolutamente vero da chi guarda.Proprio utenti transgender, sedicenti medici o altrettanto sedicenti influencer tendono a rispondere a interrogativi fra cui quelli relativi al come fare per sapere se si è veramente trans, al modo per fare coming out in famiglia, al come ottenere una terapia a base di testosterone, alle paure nell'attraversare questa esperienza e così via. Una mole enorme di contenuti pro-gender che va a braccetto con la dimensione di identificazione, peraltro tipica della fascia d'età preadolescenziale. Molti soggetti giovanissimi, dunque, si aggrappano all'identità che credono di aver trovato grazie a questi video cui giungono spesso attraverso la ricerca di specifici hashtag.E chi prova a porre domande diverse da quelle mainstream o a fare commenti non in linea con l'approccio affermativo? Ormai è automatico, quasi naturale - senza neanche bisogno di incitare le folle - che arrivi una vera e propria shitstorm di commenti e risposte che bollano chi la pensa diversamente come transfobico, omofobo, retrogrado, ignorante.IL RAPPORTO GENITORI-SOCIALE il rapporto genitori-social? I genitori, troppo spesso, assistono impotenti a ciò che i propri figli fanno con e sui social. Questo vale, lo sappiamo, per tanti argomenti: dalla ricerca di contenuti sul sesso a droghe, fumo, ma anche su temi magari più banali e innocenti come lo studio, i giochi online, le conversazioni tra pari età. Insomma, i genitori sono esclusi dai propri figli da ciò che esiste sui social, quasi come se questi ultimi fossero un luogo intimo e privato della propria adolescenza. Ecco, dunque, che questa “esclusione” finisce per essere ancor più pericolosa proprio quando si tratta di disagi e confusione sulla propria sessualità o sul proprio corpo. Gli adolescenti, all'insaputa dei familiari, apprendono principalmente dal mondo online come aderire a un'immagine corporea che è esattamente l'opposto del sesso anatomico: ecco allora che acquistano vestiti che comprimono il torace al fine di occultare il proprio seno o gli abiti che nascondono gli organi genitali nei maschi, ecco che chattano con sedicenti esperti o provano a prendere appuntamenti in cliniche che - complici di tutto ciò - non pretendono nessuna autorizzazione da parte dei genitori, e così via.Ecco dunque l'amara e tragica verità: il passo dal click alla transizione è inesorabilmente breve, molto di più di quanto si possa immaginare.Ma non è finita qui. Perché i social sono la parte più consistente di un iceberg che, sott'acqua, riserva ancora altre brutte sorprese. Non ci sono infatti solo i social network a veicolare l'ideologia gender. Un ruolo in questo, infatti, lo svolgono anche la televisione, le serie tv e perfino i cartoni animati. Con riferimento a questi ultimi, come non pensare alla Disney giunta a tingere di arcobaleno la mitica saga di Star Wars, con la serie The Acolyte, che la sua stessa creatrice, Leslye Headland, ha codificato come queer. Tutto questo non deve stupire se si pensa che Karey Burke, presidente della Disney's General Entertainment Content - la quale si definisce «madre di due bambini queer» -, ha dichiarato di voler arrivare in poco tempo ad almeno il 50% dei personaggi appartenenti a «gruppi minoritari», ovviamente Lgbt in primis. L'impegno arcobaleno della celebre casa di contenuti per bambini è però già a buon punto.DISNEY ALLO SBANDOBasti qui ricordare che, su 59 film prodotti nel 2022, ben 24 di questi - ha sottolineato Glaad (acronimo dell'associazione arcobaleno Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) - presentavano contenuti di «inclusione Lgbt». In pratica, ormai quasi un prodotto Disney su due veicola contenuti cari all'agenda politica e ideologica arcobaleno - e di questo passo, a breve, saranno senza dubbio la maggioranza. Non c'è comunque solo la Disney attiva su questo versante propagandistico. Anche la Pixar Animation Studios, celebre casa di produzione di prodotti per bambini, ancora nel 2021, si diceva interessata a cercare per «un doppiaggio giovanile» dei ragazzi che potessero «dar voce credibilmente a una quattordicenne trans». E questi sono solo - per ovvie esigenze di spazio - pochi esempi dei molti contenuti che possiamo trovare quotidianamente su tv, canali streaming e media di ogni tipo. Dove non c'è la propaganda esplicita, dunque, c'è comunque un asservimento da parte dei media ai diktat arcobaleno e transgender.Prova ne è anche la mitica emittente Cnn che, in un testo che parla di prevenzione ginecologica, ha deciso di rivolgersi agli «individui con una cervice» senza scrivere «donne» o «donna» nell'articolo, per “non offendere” le persone transgender. Non si può poi non considerare, come grande - ancorché indiretto - spot alla transizione di genere, la grande popolarità che nelle pubblicità, di moda ma non solo, hanno le modelle androgine, figure salutate anzi celebrate sui media come «top model e modelle che hanno sfidato gli stereotipi!». Da parte loro, anche queste modelle sembrano trarre a loro volta una forma d'appagamento o comunque divertimento nel vestire panni ambigui, che possano veicolare identità fluide. «Mi piacciono un sacco le donne vestite da uomini e viceversa» ha per esempio dichiarato la modella francese Agata Descroix, aggiungendo che, a suo dire, «la moda è prima di tutto la libertà di giocare con i vestiti e sentirsi bene. In aggiunta, perché impedire a una donna di indossare una bella cravatta? O un uomo di indoss

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ https://www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=7471LA STRATEGIA LGBT DELLA DISNEY NON PAGA di Giuliano GuzzoLa strategia Lgbt non paga. Anzi. È controproducente perché il massiccio e martellante indottrinamento arcobaleno porta famiglie, genitori e in generale utenti (ma anche i dipendenti) a "scappare" da chi si rendere protagonista di tale ideologia, finendo quindi per mettere a rischio la stessa vita di determinate aziende. Lo sa bene la Disney, il colosso dell'intrattenimento per bambini, che ormai da anni è sempre più Lgbt ma ora sta vivendo, fortunatamente, una stagione di costanti flop, boicottaggi, licenziamenti e critiche di massa.Fortunatamente? Beh, forse la fortuna e il caso c'entrano poco. Non è una coincidenza, infatti, perché si può a ragione dire come sia tutto merito di genitori e famiglie e di chi (dipendenti o semplici utenti) si discosta da certi diktat Lgbtqia+. Tanto in Italia quanto all'estero, infatti, le famiglie sembrano evidentemente stufe di prestare il fianco alla propaganda gender ed esporre i loro figli a questo martellamento mediatico. Purtroppo, però - e anche qui il caso c'entra ben poco - questo bombardamento deve far riflettere e non far mai abbassare la guardia. E' vero, infatti, che i flop della Disney sono ormai costanti e che la strategia Lgbt non paga (e ora lo vedremo nel dettaglio), ma è vero anche che la Disney - dopo i molti annunci dei suoi dirigenti di voler promuovere l'agenda Lgbtqia+ - non si è più fermata in tale direzione.Dunque l'appello è quello - e non lo ripeteremo mai abbastanza - di stare con gli occhi aperti sempre, per difendere l'educazione e la crescita (e il divertimento!) dei nostri figli e non prestare mai il fianco a questa nuova, ma ormai già rodata, industria dell'intrattenimento Lgbt. Che ora, però, sta iniziando a scricchiolare.Quella della Disney è una crisi confermata non solo, appunto, dall'allontanamento di famiglie, genitori e utenti, ma che emerge inesorabile anche dai bilanci e dalle grandi perdite in termini economici. Ulteriore prova, dunque, che le istanze "progressiste", woke e pro gender non pagano e anzi fanno andare addirittura in perdita. A quasi cento anni dalla fondazione (li festeggerà nell'ottobre 2023) la Walt Disney Company arriva infatti con i rattoppi e ha già previsto una "ristrutturazione", o almeno così viene definita dall'interno, che prevede tagli dei costi per addirittura 5,5 miliardi di dollari, eliminando 7.000 posti di lavorocirca il 4% del totale). C'è poi il capitolo, anche questo amaro, dello streaming, del quale la multinazionale ha fatto un suo punto nevralgico dopo il lancio di Disney+. Ebbene, se alla fine del 2022 contava ben 161,8 milioni, dal momento della sua fondazione (nel 2019) ad oggi le perdite si attestano intorno ai 10 miliardi di dollari. Avete capito bene, 10 miliardi!PESANTI FALLIMENTIQuando ai vertici di una grande azienda, infatti, ci sono avvicendamenti o cambiamenti significativi non è mai un caso. C'è sempre qualche ragione. E spesso è una ragione che ha a che vedere con mancati obiettivi raggiunti o addirittura dei flop. Sembra essere questo il caso di Latondra Newton, chief diversity officer e vicepresidente senior della Disney che, dopo sei anni di onorato servizio, è stata allontanata. Motivo? Per il capo delle risorse umane, Sonia Coleman, Newton deve ora «dedicarsi ad altre attività». Però altre fonti raccontano un'altra storia: quella secondo cui alla base dell'allontanamento della donna ci sono almeno due recenti e pesanti fallimenti.Stiamo parlando della Sirenetta e di Elemental, che ha messo a segno il peggior esordio al botteghino nella storia di casa Pixar. Entrambi, c'è da notare, erano e sono due prodotti fortemente ideologizzati e politicizzati in chiave progressista: nel primo, per la protagonista è stata scelta un'attrice di colore - cosa che ha scatenato da subito forti polemiche - nel secondo c'è il primo personaggio non binario all'interno di un film Disney Pixar. Ma Elemental non è stato certo un caso isolato, dal momento che i prodotti della celebre casa di animazione paiono da anni piegati all'agenda arcobaleno.Prova ne siano le serie tv Star Wars Resistance (2018-2020) - i cui creatori hanno confermato che lo show ha una coppia gay - e The Owl House - Aspirante Strega (2020-2023) - la cui la protagonista Luz è stata dichiarata bisessuale dall'autrice Dana Terrace. Oppure si pensi a Toy Story 4 (2019) - prodotto insieme alla Pixar Animation Studios - in cui si mostrano due madri lesbiche che accompagnano e lasciano il figlio all'asilo; o lo stesso Lightyear - La vera storia di Buzz (sempre del mondo di Toy Story) dove si vedono due "mamme" e un bacio gay tra le due; ma anche a Onward - Oltre la Magia (2020), dove c'è il primo personaggio Lgbtqia+ ad apparire in un film Disney, la poliziotta Specter; a Red (2022) - dove si vede Priya, un personaggio queer d'inclinazione bisessuale.Ma questi, attenzione, sono solo i casi più recenti. [...] Non è un caso che già cinque anni or sono una importante testata internazionale, il Telegraph, dedicasse un apposito servizio ai «personaggi gay» presenti nelle opere della Disney. Oltre alle istanze Lgbt la celebre casa di contenuti per bambini è attenta anche alle istanze woke e femministe, come provano per esempio il nuovo Peter Pan «antisessista» - con i «bambini perduti» che sono diventati delle ragazze - o il sostegno dato dall'azienda al sedicente movimento antirazzista Black Lives Matter. Tuttavia, è soprattutto sul fronte Lgbt che Disney - destinataria non a caso del plauso della Glaad, acronimo di Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, sigla arcobaleno attiva nel monitoraggio dei media - sta spingendo e spingerà sempre di più.ALMENO IL 50%Questo, almeno, se si deve credere a Karey Burke, presidente della Disney's General Entertainment Content, la quale in una call aziendale su Zoom, successivamente pubblicata su Twitter, ha ricordato che a breve «almeno il 50% dei» personaggi Disney dovrà essere arcobaleno. Le famiglie sono dunque avvertite, anche se in realtà dei segnali di partigianeria pro Lgbt della celebre azienda di contenuti per bambini c'erano da anni. Basti pensare al video di una conferenza tenuta nell'ormai lontano 1998 all'Università della California da Elizabeth Birch, dirigente dal 1995 al 2004 della Human Rights Campaign, la più grande organizzazione Lgbt americana.Ebbene in quel filmato, dopo essersi accertata che tra il pubblico non vi fossero giornalisti - e probabilmente senza sapere di essere ripresa - la Birch riferisce di uno scambio di battute avuto con Michael Eisner, amministratore delegato della Walt Disney Company per oltre vent'anni, cui lei disse che il 30 per cento dei suoi dipendenti era gay, prima d'esser da costui corretta: «Ti sbagli, Elisabeth, sono il 40 per cento». Lo ricordiamo: parliamo del 1998, dunque di un'era geologica fa rispetto ai progressi e alle conquiste Lgbt degli ultimi anni. La Cnn fissa invece addirittura al 1984 l'anno in cui in casa Disney è iniziata una metamorfosi di apertura verso il pubblico Lgbt.Ma in realtà anche prima la produzione disneiana, come ho raccontato nel mio libro Propagande - segreti e peccati dei mass media (2017), era segnata da un tratto abbastanza caratteristico: l'assenza o la morte delle due figure genitoriali del protagonista, mamma e papà. Una cosa che, beninteso, può avere varie spiegazioni (inclusa quella del mero espediente narrativo, per favorire una crescita attraverso le difficoltà dei personaggi), ma che non può indubbiamente non suggerire una riflessione. Ad ogni modo, non devono stupire, tornando a noi, le parole di Karey Burke, che comunque sul fronte arcobaleno ha anche motivi personali per impegnarsi, dato che si presenta come «madre di due bambini queer».C'è dunque da crederle quando dice che a breve «almeno il 50% dei» personaggi Disney dovrà essere arcobaleno. Il fatto è che tutta questa politicizzazione arcobaleno dei cartoon non sembra portare molto bene, a livello economico. Lo dimostrano non solo il licenziamento di Latondra Newton, ma anche quello di un esercito di ben 7.000 dipendenti. Se si è arrivati a tanto è anche perché il 2022 ha inflitto pesanti perdite un po' a tutti i grandi media arcobaleno. A farlo presente, è stato una fonte di sicura autorevolezza come il Financial Times, secondo cui lo scorso anno la Walt Disney Company, ma pure Netflix e Comcast e altri giganti dei media hanno perso più di mezzo trilione di dollari di valore di mercato.Ciò nonostante, c'è da escludere che nel breve periodo Disney - che peraltro ha sponsorizzato anche il recente Roma Pride - possa fare autocritica e smettere di fare politica attraverso i cartoon. E questo perché una volta presa una strada ideologica così potente come quella pro Lgbt essa non è affatto semplice da abbandonare, se non si vuole passare per "omofobi", per "transfobici" o comunque per intolleranti.Aspettiamoci, dunque, altri spot disneiani alla causa dei movimenti queer ed Lgbt.

Originally released: June 14, 2009 In http://nathanoutloud.blogspot.com/2009/06/episode-4-tom-from-ramble-redhead-show.html (episode 4), I discussed the events from the "Rob, Arnie & Dawn Show" on KRXQ in Sacramento, California that started with the May 28th show. In response to that, along with the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, Kim Pearson from TransYouth Family Allies lead the effort to ensure that KRXQ and Rob & Arnie be held responsible for the words and tone of their show and their follow-up response. Kim Pearson is Executive Director/Co-Founder of http://www.imatyfa.org/ (TransYouth Family Allies) (TYFA) and National Board President of http://community.pflag.org/Page.aspx?pid=380 (PFLAG-TNET). She first directed her energy into GLBT support, advocacy and education as the founder and president of her local PFLAG Chapter when the youngest of her three children came out as lesbian in 2005. Eighteen months later she found herself facilitating that same child's transition to living life as a young man. Fueled by her passion for ensuring respect and equal rights for children like hers she co-founded TYFA, the first and only national organization that supports, educates and advocates exclusively for gender variant and transgender children. In its short history TYFA has provided support to over 100 families, and training to hundreds of GLBT organizations, service professionals and government officials all over the United States. TYFA and their families have been featured on several local/national radio programs, national/regional television and numerous print articles. You can also find TYFA on http://apps.facebook.com/causes/74940?m=cc366e79 (facebook).

Originally released: June 08, 2009 Episode 4 features a coming out story and interview with Tom from Ramble Redhead Show. Tom has been doing his podcast for over 4 years and has completed nearly 300 episodes. You can check out all of the podcasts on his website at http://www.rambleredhead.com/ (http://www.rambleredhead.com/). You can also find his podcasts in iTunes. Tom Goss' "Back To Love" is a collection of edgy alt/pop songs that are literally about love—not always romantic love, but the many faces of love. He has built on the success of his first national tour with acclaimed singer/songwriter Eric Himan in 2008, as well as the production and release of his first video, which was featured nationally and eventually rose to #2 on MTV LOGO's The Click List. "I wanted to create something that was instantly accessible," says Goss. "Something that would touch a wide audience, and something that was fast and clean but also carried a concrete message." As a gay man, he wanted to deliver a message about societal and religious perceptions of what love means to a gay person, as well as his family's love and failed love, including the divorce of his parents. Goss also learned a lot from his recently deceased grandfather, whom he says loved his grandmother “more than I have ever seen anyone love.” He adds that “Back To Love” breathes speaks, and aches like nothing I have ever done before.” Goss, who grew up in Kenosha, Wisconsin, moved to DC in 2004 to enter Catholic seminary in hopes of becoming a priest. After that didn't go as planned, Goss later found himself through his charity work and through his partner, and began to make music a full-time ambition. His debut, album, Naked Without, was released in 2006 and was followed by Rise in January 2008. Goss plans to hit the road in support of Back To Love, delivering the message of his new album to a wide range of listeners. “I want people to listen to "Back To Love" and leave with a sense of hope and love greater than before,” says Goss. “I want to start conversations about love and loss, anger and forgiveness, hope and fear, but most importantly integration, of self and of each other. And at the same time, I want to deliver the best batch of songs that I possibly could.” You can find more information on Tom's music and concert dates on his website http://www.tomgossmusic.net/ (tomgossmusic.net). "Back to Love" is also available on http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewArtist?id=158289962&uo=6 (iTunes). From that we get “Til the End”. On May 28 radio hosts Rob Williams and Arnie States spent more than 30 minutes making crude and dehumanizing comments promoting child abuse against transgender children. It began when they discussed a story about an Omaha family supporting their transgender child and her transition. After GLAAD, the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation issued a call to action, the radio station finally called back and promised Rob and Arnie would respond to their offensive segment. GLAAD also spoke with with radio host Dawn Rossi who defended transgender people on the highly problematic segment. On their follow-up show, Rob and Arnie failed to apologize for their remarks. GLAAD re-issued the Call to Action, and LGBT advocates made their voices heard through social networking and thousands of people from around the world contacted KRXQ and their advertisers. After nine advertisers pulled their ads, the radio station finally took notice and they suspended the show until Thursday June 11th.

The data from the American Public Media Research Lab shows that African-Americans have made up roughly 27% of COVID-19 deaths, but only 13% of the United States population is black. What is causing this horrific discrepancy? Rashad Robinson, civil rights activist and President of Color of Change,  joined the podcast this week to discuss the impact of coronavirus on black Americans and what his organization is doing to help those in need. In this episode, Sam and Nathan ask Robinson about the problems that African-American populations face during the age of COVID-19, which include inadequate access to healthcare, unfair and racist policing policies, and disparate economic relief from the government. Robinson also discusses his journey of activism, beginning with knocking on doors for political candidates in his early teenage years and ultimately working his way up to leadership within GLAAD, the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation. For more information, or if you'd like to continue the conversation, Rashad Robinson can be found on Twitter @rashadrobinson, Color of Change can be found @ColorOfChange, and Nathan can be found @NathanHRubin.

CORRECTION: On this episode of NoCo LIVE, we discuss the circumstances surrounding the tragic death of former basketball superstar Kobe Bryant, his young daughter Gianna, and seven other people in a helicopter crash on Sunday, January 26, 2020. During the course of the conversation, we made references to the notion that Mr. Bryant may have held anti-LGBT views. This information was inaccurate. While it is true that Mr. Bryant made an anti-gay slur in 2011, he later atoned for the mistake, and took action against others who made similar slurs in his presence, receiving praise from the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation as well as many other outlets. While NoCo LIVE is first and foremost an entertainment show, it's important to us when we discuss current events to make sure that we get our facts straight, and in this instance, we did not. We regret this error, and will endeavor to do better fact checking in the future. The gang is all here and we kick things off with a deeper dive on TikTok. Charles posted a video that's gone viral and weird commenters come out of the woodwork. KevKat has a hard time dealing with the comments and we talk about the pros and cons of interacting with an audience and why creators should stay out of the comments section. Ironically, we experience this live when a troll briefly joins the Twitch chat on the show and grumpy Chris breaks out the ban hammer. We get deep for a moment as Chris had a death in the family, which also brings us to Kobe Bryant's tragic death, his controversial past, and whether you can separate someone's achievements from their actions and how to feel when someone like that dies. Life is short, kids. Hug your loved ones.

A new report from GLAAD (Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) finds a record-high number of LGBTQ characters on TV this year. We spoke to GLAAD's Rich Ferraro about how this came about, what it means and why more is needed.

June is #PrideMonth, when the LGBTQ community and its allies, honor the 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York City, an event that served as the catalyst for the gay rights movement in the U.S. and around the world. Where’s the connection between Pride and Better Off, besides the lesbian host? This week I chatted with Sarah Kate Ellis, President and CEO of GLAAD, the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation. Ellis’s story is an interesting one because prior to coming in GLAAD in 2014, she was a lifer in the for-profit world as a media executive. She led national media brands, notably growing Real Simple into one of Time Inc.’s most respected and successful magazines. Her vision also transformed and energized leading media outlets including Vogue, InStyle, New York, and House & Garden. She served as Senior Vice President of Global Marketing at Martini Media, a digital firm specializing in online branding, public relations and marketing. Suffice to say there was a bit of an adjustment period, but the numbers don’t lie, and in a relatively short amount of time, things have turned around and only continue to get better. “Better Off” is sponsored by Betterment.

According to a survey conducted by Harris Poll on behalf of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation and a survey from the Public Religion Research Institute, there is a marked increase in millennials “identifying” as bisexual or as other  peculiar sexual “identities.” These surveys raise a critical question: Do these statistics reflect the eradication of destructive social taboos that prevented bisexuals, “transmen” (i.e., women), “transwomen” (i.e., men), “agender,” “gender fluid,” and “gender expansive” persons from publicly revealing their “authentic” selves, or do these statistics reflect the indoctrination of millennials who have had transgressive ideas poured into them from virtually …

If you like what you hear in this interview, please be sure to tell a friend. And now, without further ado, let's dive into the interview. Jenn T. Grace: I am pleased to be talking with Matt Skallerud today, who is the president of Pink Banana Media. Matt began his online career in May of 1995 with the launch of the website www.GayWired.com. This website became one of the top three LGBT websites worldwide. He has been helping clients reach the LGBT community for more than eighteen years, and in addition to this he is a current board member for Travel Gay Canada and the interim Executive Director of the California Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce. Also he is actively involved with many key national LGBT organizations, which include the International Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce, the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce, the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation and Out & Equal Workplace Advocates just to name a few. So Matt, I've given the listeners a brief overview of who you are, but why don't you tell us a little bit more about yourself and what your path looked like that led you to where you are today. Matt Skallerud:  Yeah! I always try to simplify things. I've just been very lucky. I went to school, I got my degree in engineering, got really bored with it in about three years and thought to myself, 'I got a degree for this? I don't know if I want to do this for the rest of my life.' And- but I actually went into sales, I was in this kind of high-tech R&D world of lasers and then I went into sales of lasers and the reason I bring all that up is because it was that combination of kind of just being comfortable with technology, and it was a perfect time. It was when computers were just really starting to come out. I used to have a Commodore 64, and then I had some of the first Compaq 286 and all these fun computers but I had the opportunity to really utilize them first for more on the engineering side, but then as things developed more on the sales, and then also very much marketing of products I used to work on in the lab. I basically took all those skills,
