Just as we're hitting the 10th Anniversary of Federal Marriage Equality in the US, Dennis is joined via Zoom by Frankie Frankeny, the driving creative force behind the gorgeous and comprehensive new coffee table book Love: The Heroic Stories of Marriage Equality. Frankie recalls how she first became passionate about the cause of marriage equality decades ago, doing entensive research for the book and discovering stories she never knew before and her hope that the book will be available in schools so queer kids can learn their history in a way that her generation never did. She also talks about contributing her own photos to the book and her hopes that, aesthetically speaking, the book will be something two lesbians in Tennessee or the chic designer Tom Ford would be proud to put on their coffee table. Other topics include: the pressure LGBT couples involved in court cases feel to be perfect and the stress that puts on a relationship, attorney Evan Wolfson's emotional Harvard thesis on the topic, boundary-pushing straight allies like Phil Donahue, Joe Biden and Gavin Newsom, her successful career as a cookbook photographer and why she loves that work and coming out for the first time as a kid to her beloved pet dachshund by saying, "I'm going to have a wife one day." www.justmarried.us

Join us for the Media Storm LIVE SHOW! Tuesday 20th May 7pm, @ the Business Design Centre in Islington. Tickets available HERE  Time for another weekly news debrief: we pick apart the most unhinged headlines and try to make sense of the mainstream media, helping you consume the news critically. This week, Katy Perry was blasted - into space, and in the media (4:50). As news broke that the Supreme Court ruled the legal definition of a woman is based on 'biological sex' (a ruling that didn't consult a single transgender person), we look at the rollbacks of queer rights around the world (10:20). Plus, how three front pages defined differently an attack on prison officers at HMP Frankland by the Manchester arena bomber's brother (22:32), a rebuttal against an ableist Daily Mail column on stammering (31:53), and why one article about asylum seekers living in 'luxury hotels' fails on facts (36:34). To keep Eyes on Palestine (41:02), we look at the case of Mohsen Mahdawi, a Palestinian student at Columbia university abducted by ICE in the US, and discuss a small but mighty change in a BBC headline.

PRESS REVIEW – Thursday, April 17: The UK Supreme Court rules that the legal definition of a woman is based on biological sex. Also, The New York Times describes rifts in Trump's cabinet. Next, Haiti marks 200 years since France asked for compensation in exchange for independence. Also, two mountaineers break a speed climbing record in Switzerland. Meanwhile, astronomers find convincing signs of alien life in the universe. Finally, a Japanese lab has grown chicken nuggets. The UK Supreme Court ruling that the legal definition of a woman is based on biological sex is all over the British front pages today. The Daily Mail calls it a "historic victory for women and common sense". The Daily Telegraph headlines with "Trans women are not women". The Independent's front page, meanwhile, looks at the consequences that the ruling might have for trans women, calling it a blow to their rights. The Guardian's website has an explainer that goes through the implications of the ruling. Finally, The Times has a Hamlet-inspired cartoon, making light of the Supreme Court's fascination for chromosomes.French paper L'Humanité dedicates much of its coverage to the commemoration of the 200 years since France imposed the "chains of debt" on Haiti. It describes how on April 17, 1825, France demanded that Haiti pay compensation in exchange for its liberty and independence as a nation. This article calls it "blackmail", which still hangs over Haiti's politics and economy to this day. The Haitian paper Le Nouvelliste says that President Emmanuel Macron must address Haiti on the anniversary of what it calls the ransom of independence. If not, it says, Haiti risks another war with its old colonial rulers.The New York Times has a long article which says that Israel had planned to strike and destroy Iranian nuclear sites as soon as next month. Initially planned as a commando operation, Israeli officials later proposed a bombing campaign which would have lasted several weeks and needed US assistance. It says the attacks were "waved off" by Donald Trump in favour of renegotiating with Tehran to limit its nuclear programme.The Times brings us extraordinary news from Switzerland. It reports that two mountaineers have scaled the "murder wall" and smashed the three peak record. The Swiss–Austrian pair smashed the previous record of 25 hours by finishing their three-peak climb in 15 hours and 30 minutes.Meanwhile, scientists may have found signs that we are not alone in the universe. The New Scientist suggests that astronomers have found the strongest evidence for alien life so far. It says that the James Webb telescope has picked up signs of molecules that are only produced by living organisms. They found these chemical footprints on the exoplanet K2-18b, which is 124 light years away.Finally, Nature brings us news that a team of scientists in Japan have grown chicken nuggets in a lab.You can catch our press review every morning on France 24 at 7:20am and 9:20am (Paris time), from Monday to Friday.

PRESS REVIEW – Tuesday, April 15: The press are marking the two-year anniversary of the deadly civil war in Sudan. Also, papers in Hungary react to an amendment limiting the rights of LGBTQ people and dual nationals. Next, two teenagers are arrested in Kenya for attempting to smuggle 5,000 ants out of the country. Finally, Catalan architect Gaudi gets holy recognition on his path to becoming a saint. Sudan's civil war broke out exactly two years ago, on April 15, 2023. The Guardian has a timeline of the conflict to mark the grim anniversary. The paper also has the story of a leaked UN report, which raises fresh concerns over the UAE's role in the war. The article says the UAE is accused of secretly supplying weapons to Sudanese paramilitaries via Chad. It says the flight paths often disappeared for "crucial segments" of their journey, which could suggest covert operations. Meanwhile, the death toll from the conflict continues to rise. The BBC reports that more than 400 people have been killed by paramilitaries of the Rapid Support Forces in recent attacks on refugee camps in the Darfur region.In Hungary, the government has passed legislation limiting the rights of LGBTQ people and dual nationals. The Hungarian news site Telex reports that the Fidesz majority in the National Assembly approved the 15th amendment to the Constitution by 140 votes to 21. Nepszava, a leading social-democratic daily in Hungary, headlines with comments from the Hungarian Helsinki Committee. The human rights organisation says the amendment aims to "sow fear and divide society". In France, the LGBTQ magazine Têtu says that the vote is the backpeddling on LGBT rights that populists worldwide have always dreamed of. The New York Times calls it an escalation in the culture war. It accuses Prime Minister Viktor Orban of using the laws to divert public attention away from both economic problems and a rising opposition in the run-up to next year's parliamentary elections. Libération has a report on the different ways in which protesters have been fighting the ban. It highlights for instance the "grey pride" march, which took place on Saturday.Two teenagers have been arrested for trafficking ants in Kenya. The Kenyan daily The Star reports that two Belgian teenagers and two accomplices were arrested in the possession of almost €7,000 worth of queen ants. The Times is also covering the story. Its article says that the teenagers were planning to sell them as exotic pets. Kenya's Wildlife Service has said that although they have battled illegal wildlife trafficking for a very long time, they are now having to turn their attention to smaller species, in response to weirder global demand.Finally, the Catalan architect Antoni Gaudi could well be on the path to sainthood. Vatican News reports that he has been declared venerable. Gaudi is known for his fantastic buildings around Barcelona and in particular the Sagrada Familia, which is still under construction, nearly 140 years after building first started.You can catch our press review every morning on France 24 at 7:20am and 9:20am (Paris time), from Monday to Friday.

On January 23, Thailand officially authorised marriage for all – a historic decision that made the country the first in Southeast Asia to legalise same-sex unions. Within hours of the law's enactment, hundreds of couples said “yes” to tie the knot. Today, the kingdom is known as a safe haven for LGBTQ communities across the region where other countries such as Myanmar or Malaysia still consider same-sex relationships a crime. But despite homosexual couples' newly acquired right to marry, not everything is rosy in the "Land of Smiles". William de Tamaris, Mélodie Sforza and Justin McCurry report.

The French have the reputation of being romantic. There's even the cliché that they are sexually liberated and good lovers. But what are their sex lives really like? The answer is quite surprising. According to a new study by France's National Institute of Health, the French are having sex less frequently and starting later in life than in previous decades. But they are also reporting more sexual satisfaction. In this week's show, Florence Villeminot takes a sneak peek at French bedroom habits.

From "The Full Monty" and "Billy Elliot" to last year's "The Quiet Girl", which went all the way to the Oscars, arts24 is at the intimate French film festival that's served as the launchpad for independent gems that go on to conquer the world of cinema. From social chronicles to wacky comedies, over five days some 20,000 people gathered to see this year's offerings at the Dinard British & Irish Film Festival. More than 50 films filled cinema screens, with actors like Tim Roth and Anthony Hopkins in their latest roles. Among the breakout talents is award-winning actor Jason Patel, who stars in the cross-cultural LGBT love story "Unicorns", which came away with the jury and audience prizes.  Eve Jackson chats to him about being Bridget Jones, his chemistry with co-star Ben Hardy and his hopes that the film will bring people together despite their differences.

It traces an illicit gay romance in modern-day Iran and explores a little-known reality: that the government subsidises sex changes for gay people willing to transition. He also talks about visiting Iran for last time in his 20s, the vibrant Iranian cinema industry and the "Woman, Life, Freedom" movement, launched after the death of Mahsa Amini in September 2022.

When it comes to gay rights on the continent, Africans are conflicted. In Nigeria, Uganda, Cameroon, Kenya, Tanzania and many other countries, it's illegal. But in South Africa, Cape Verde, Angola, Gabon, being gay is not a crime. Many think that being gay is un-African.

5 days ago, a strict new anti-LGBTQ+ bill called the Human Sexual rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill was introduced, which threatens to incite a witch hunt against lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and intersex people fighting for their rights to express themselves and have privacy in Ghana, both online and off. It's part of a disturbing worldwide trend to vilify and control 'the other', and while it might appease the largely conservative Christian majority, it also threatens $5.8 million in foreign investments in the country. Right now, it's all in the hands of President Nana Akufo-Addo.

One of the most remarkable transformations over recent decades has been the growing acceptance and celebration of LGBT+ rights. Here in the UK, for example, the proportion of respondents to the British Social Attitudes survey saying that same-sex relationships are not wrong at all has risen from just 11 per cent in 1987 to 67 per cent a generation later in 2022.Yet recent years have seen a backlash against such advances. Self-styled ‘family values' movements have campaigned against the so-called ‘gay lobby' or ‘gender ideology' in many countries, often claiming threats not just to the family, but to the nation as a whole. In the UK and elsewhere, a backlash against trans rights has been especially prominent. We are joined by Phillip Ayoub, Professor of International Relations here in the UCL Department of Political Science. As well as marking LGBT+ History Month, this is a special inaugural episode for Prof Ayoub touching on his career journey and research influences. Mentioned in this episode:Phillip M.

Ukraine suffered 30 Russian drone strikes overnight. On Thursday, a 9-year-old child and her mother were killed by the falling wreckage of one of the Russian drones shot down over Kyiv. The intensity of Russia's attacks is unprecedented since the start of the invasion last year. Meanwhile, Russia accuses Ukraine of striking Moscow, Belgorod and Krasnodar.

In this special episode of The Foothills Deeper Pod, we bring you an important update on the state of trans, queer, and non-binary rights, both nationally and within our local community. Reverends Sean Neil-Barron and Gretchen Haley, two influential voices advocating for equality and social justice, discuss what's happening at the policy and the personal level and why it should matter to us all. From the potential reverberating effects on our public education system to government institutions to far-reaching social programs, Rev. Sean and Gretchen dive into why we all need to pay attention to what's happening with LGBT+ rights now, regardless of where we live.

A special episode coinciding with this week's International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia.It's easy to assume that LGBTQ rights are more likely to advance in democracies than in non-democracies. Democracies are generally more open to diversity, and the countries with the strongest LGBTQ rights protection are democracies.But new work by Dr Samer Anabtawi, Lecturer in Comparative Politics here in the UCL Department of Political Science, suggests that we shouldn't be so sure. Through detailed research in Lebanon and Tunisia, this work finds that democracy is neither a sufficient condition for rights advancement, nor – perhaps more surprisingly – a necessary one.  Mentioned in this episode:‘Snatching Legal Victory: LGBTQ Rights Activism and Contestation in the Arab World' Arab Law Quarterly

Filmmaker David Millbern's award winning and Emmy-nominated documentary TV Special called 100 Years of Men in Love: The Accidental Collection tells 100 love stories that were almost lost forever to history. Based on a collection of vintage photos found at antique stores and flea markets, dating from 1850 into the 1950s and curated by Hugh Nini and Neal Treadwell in their book, Loving: A Photographic History of Men in Love, this moving and masterful documentary shines a light on the joy, romance and tenderness shared between male couples, in a time when their love was forbidden. David joins us to talk about how the collection, and the film, came together, the possible origins of the photos and stories of their subjects, what they tell us about the century and the particular generations they represent, how audiences have been receiving the film and what he most hopes the viewer will take away from watching it.

Hello Climate Confident listeners! I'm so excited to share with you the latest episode of the podcast where I had the pleasure of speaking once again with Prof Denise Baden and also this time with Prof Matt Ryan. In this episode, we dive into the topic of Citizen Assemblies and the role they play in addressing the climate crisis.Denise and Matt are both experts in the field and it was amazing to hear about their experiences and insights on this topic. We talked about the importance of involving citizens in the decision-making process and how Citizen Assemblies can help to find solutions to complex issues, such as climate change.One of the highlights of the episode was when Denise shared a story about a successful Citizen Assembly in Gdansk, Poland. It was inspiring to hear how a group of 60 city dwellers were given the authority to take action and made sweeping changes in areas like flood mitigation, air pollution, and even controversial topics like LGBT rights. And to top it off, the assemblies ended with a hug!Matt also shared valuable information about the Knowledge Network on Climate Assemblies (KNOCA) website, knoca.eu, which is a great resource for anyone interested in learning more about Citizen Assemblies and their role in addressing the climate crisis.Throughout the episode, Denise and Matt emphasized the importance of finding the right mix of entertainment, decision-making structures, and inclusion in the Citizen Assembly process. They shared that while there may be mistakes made along the way, the goal is to find solutions that will allow us to survive, thrive, and flourish without damaging the planet.If you're interested in learning more about Denise, Matt, Citizen Assemblies, or any of the topics we discussed in the podcast, be sure to check out sortitionfoundation.org, dabaden.com, and participedia.net.I hope you enjoyed this episode of Climate Confident!

Seamstress Doris Staples doesn't want to see Private John Waters any more... but the American soldier has other ideas. He goes to her workplace to make sure she doesn't "step out" with any other man... and carries with him a pistol. Men were expected to seek an outlet for their sexual appetites, but any women who saw multiple partners or wanted to exit a relationship faced stigma, hostility and deadly violence.   Further reading: Ashton, John R; Machin, David; Osmond, Clive; Balajaran, Rasaratnam; Adam, Sheila A and Donnan, Stuart P B. ‘Trends in Induced Abortion in England and Wales', Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, vol. 37, 1983, pp. 105 - 110.

Highlights:     “Sorry CNN, while LGBT issues and identity politics, in general, may be of the utmost importance in the US or in the whole of the dying, demographically shrinking West, they don't have even remotely of a semblance of such importance here in Kenya.” “As the former president of Kenya pointed out, the family is an issue of society, of culture, of custom, of tradition. It's not something that Western liberal ideology, completely severed from culture, custom, and tradition, gets to come in and change just because it uses fancy-schmancy terms like ‘human rights', ‘marriage equality', and ‘social justice'.” Timestamps:        [01:30] On the issue of LGBT rights and if the Kenyan president will still stand with his position about it  [03:47] Why LGBT issues and identity politics, in general, are not of utmost importance to Kenya [09:08] Why conservative leaders around the world are just getting started on reasserting their customs, cultures, and traditions against globalization Resources:  Learn how to protect your life savings from inflation and an irresponsible government, with Gold and Silver.
