Podcasts about lgbt rights

'n Nuwe verslag het uitgelig hoe wetgewing soos die Huwelikswet van 2024 steeds vordering met LGBT-regte in Namibië vertraag. Abigail Solomons, die outeur van die IPPR-gepubliseerde verslag, “Not Yet Uhuru – Gender and LGBT Rights in Namibia: Opportunities, Gaps and Challenges”, sê die regsgemeenskap en die burgerlike samelewing moet saamwerk om te veg teen wetgewing wat die grondwetlike en menseregte van die LGBT-gemeenskap verminder.

He is one of the nation's foremost experts on conversion therapy, helping to draft and pass legislation in states to protect LGBTQ youth and support survivors. He served as lead counsel in the landmark California marriage equality case, and he led NCLR's contributions to multiple Supreme Court cases, such as Pavan v. Smith, Obergefell v. Hodges, and Christian Legal Society v. Martinez. An appointee to President Obama's Commission on White House Fellowships, Shannon was one of the most senior transgender appointees in the Obama administration. He has taught law at UCLA, Stanford, Golden Gate University, and Santa Clara University. Shannon is currently counsel in six cases challenging the Trump administration's anti-transgender policies, including Talbott v. Trump, which seeks to restore the right of transgender Americans to serve openly in the armed forces. His work challenging anti-transgender military policies spans nearly a decade — he previously challenged the 2017 transgender military ban under the first Trump administration, and co-chaired the Planning Commission on Transgender Military Service, which produced a comprehensive study demonstrating that inclusive service policies are both administratively feasible and militarily beneficial. Shannon has been at the forefront of efforts to protect LGBTQ+ youth from conversion therapy. He founded NCLR's Born Perfect project, a national campaign to end conversion therapy through legislation, litigation, and public education. He has helped draft laws protecting LGBTQ youth from conversion therapy across the country and continues to advocate for legal remedies to hold practitioners accountable for the harm they cause, including through malpractice, consumer fraud claims, and professional licensing sanctions. Shannon was lead counsel for same-sex couples in the landmark California marriage equality case, which was the first state supreme court decision to hold that same-sex couples have a fundamental right to marry and that laws discriminating based on sexual orientation are subject to the highest level of constitutional scrutiny. He was also counsel for married same-sex couples from Tennessee in Obergefell v. Hodges, the landmark 2015 U.S. Supreme Court decision establishing marriage equality nationwide, and NCLR's lead attorney in Pavan v. Smith, a 2017 Supreme Court decision requiring equal treatment of same-sex parents, and in Christian Legal Society v. Martinez, a U.S. Supreme Court decision upholding nondiscrimination policies based on sexual orientation and gender identity. In 2015, President Obama appointed Shannon to the President's Commission on White House Fellowships, making him one of the most senior transgender appointees in the Obama administration. Shannon called the appointment a reflection of the President's commitment to building a government that reflects the full diversity of the American people. He is co-editor of Transgender Rights (2006), the first comprehensive book on the transgender civil rights movement. Among his many honors, Shannon has received the ABA's Stonewall Award, the Ford Foundation's Leadership for a Changing World Award, the Cornell Law School Exemplary Public Service Award, the Dan Bradley Award from the National LGBTQ Bar Association, and the California Lawyer of the Year designation from California Lawyer magazine. He received his B.A. from the University of Texas at Austin and his J.D. from Cornell Law School.

In this episode of High Theory, Saronik talks to Senthorun Raj about the Emotions of LGBT Rights. Emotions from disgust and fear to love and joy shape the legal frameworks that attempt to govern human sexual behavior around the world. Sen cautions against dividing emotions into good and bad, but instead asks us to take a critical stance on all emotions, to understand how they shape our policies. In the episode, we talk about Sara Ahmed, the Stonewall Riots, conversion therapy, and efforts to mandate for and against inclusive sex education. The transcript lives here as a WordDoc and here as a PDF. Sen's book, The Emotions of LGBT Rights and Reforms: Repairing Law (Edinburgh University Press 2025) uses emotion as a novel analytic lens to understand, analyse, and critique the relationship between individual, interpersonal, and institutional conflicts over LGBT rights. Emotions are central to the pursuit, organisation, and contestation of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) rights in law. Drawing from critical legal theories, this book cultivates the concept of “emotional grammar” to show how emotions structure law reform pursuits by threading together Hansard, legislation, case law, law reform consultations, and statutory guidance. By doing so, it explains why addressing this emotional grammar is important for scholars, lawyers, judges, legislators, and activists seeking to navigate conflicts over LGBT rights and reforms that aim to repair the inequalities faced by LGBT people. Senthorun Raj is an academic human rights lawyer with expertise in issues of race, gender, sexuality, and culture. He works as a Reader in Human Rights Law at Manchester Metropolitan University. Sen's research and teaching interests include LGBTIQ+ rights, emotion, culture, equalities and human rights law, legal education, and critical legal theory. His latest monograph, builds on his previous book, Feeling Queer Jurisprudence: Injury, Intimacy, Identity (Routledge, 2020), which explored the ways emotions shape legal judgments that enable progress for LGBT people. He is also the co-editor of The Queer Outside in Law: Recognising LGBTIQ People in the United Kingdom (Palgrave, 2020) and Queer Judgments (Counterpress, 2025). The image for this episode is a coloured lithograph, from 1868, depicting a double rainbow, by René Henri Digeon after Étienne Antoine Eugène Ronjat.

A leading author is speaking in Paris about the French capital's ability to draw gay and bisexual people to it. Rasheed Newson's talk is entitled "From Baldwin to Today: Queer Black Expats in Paris". He says that many queer African Americans seeking freedom and creative possibility have come to Paris due to its openness to queer people. Newson is the author of the bestseller "My Government Means to Kill Me", and has a new book is coming out shortly, "There's Only One Sin in Hollywood: A Novel". He spoke to us in Perspective.

In this edition of our film show, critic Emma Jones talks to Eve Jackson about the latest film releases, including "The History of Sound" from director Oliver Hermanus. It stars Paul Mescal and Josh O'Connor as two men who fall in love in the shadow of World War I. The film premiered in competition at Cannes to lukewarm reviews, but Emma argues its quiet, repressed portrayal of a gay relationship shaped by its era is exactly what gives it emotional force.

February is delivering a packed slate of must-watch television. Critic Dheepthika Laurent reviews the French release of "Heated Rivalry", which brings a steamy, taboo-breaking hockey romance to new audiences, as well as the Netflix show that revisits the legacy and controversies of "America's Next Top Model". Legal drama fans can dive into a high-stakes new season of "The Lincoln Lawyer", with Mickey Haller facing his toughest case yet – his own.

In this episode of arts24, we meet Ghanaian-Dutch visual artist Joel Quayson, who won the 2025 Dior Prize for Photography and Visual Arts for Young Talents, one of the most closely watched awards in contemporary photography. Born to Ghanaian parents and raised in the Netherlands within a devout Christian household, Quayson's work is shaped by the tension between faith, cultural heritage and queer self-expression. That deeply personal conflict lies at the heart of his prize-winning video "How do you feel?", now on view at Paris's Maison Européenne de la Photographie (MEP).

In recent months, Germany has seen a sharp rise in hate crimes targeting the queer community. Figures from the Federal Criminal Police Office and the Federal Ministry of the Interior recorded 1,765 criminal offences in 2024 under the subcategory "sexual orientation" – an increase of around 18 percent compared to the previous year. The surge in attacks is largely attributed to the far right and is causing deep concern within the LGBT+ community, in a country long regarded as tolerant toward sexual and gender minorities – particularly in the capital Berlin. Our correspondents report.

An Irish photographer has spoken to FRANCE 24 about his new exhibition here in Paris that raises questions about gender roles, identity and the relationships between those in the photographs and the photographer himself. Daragh Soden delves into the world of drag queens in photographs in which he often appears himself either as an admirer, a collaborator, a narcissist or a voyeur. He told us he was drawn to the world of drag queens both aesthetically and also conceptually. His exhibition is on display at the Irish Cultural Centre in Paris until Christmas. He spoke to us in Perspective.

Email us: Will@faithfulpoliticspodcast.comIn this episode of Faithful Politics, hosts Will Wright and Pastor Josh Burtram speak with Ilana Trachtman, an Emmy Award-winning filmmaker, about her newest documentary, Ain't No Back to a Merry-Go-Round. The film uncovers the little-known story of the 1960 civil rights protest at Glen Echo Amusement Park in Maryland—a powerful moment when Howard University students and white Jewish neighbors joined forces to integrate a local amusement park, facing down segregationists and even the American Nazi Party.Trachtman shares how her childhood visits to the park inspired the film, what it means to tell history through intimate personal storytelling, and the unexpected intersections of faith, justice, and memory that emerge when ordinary citizens act on conviction. The conversation explores the emotional layers behind forgotten movements, the role of Jewish allies in early civil rights activism, and how filmmakers like Trachtman use art to preserve moral clarity in divided times.Website: aintnoback.comGuest Bio: Ilana Trachtman is an Emmy Award-winning filmmaker with over 30 years of experience producing documentaries for PBS, HBO, Showtime, ABC, and A&E. Her acclaimed works—Praying with Lior, Black and Latin America, and The Pursuit: 50 Years in the Fight for LGBT Rights—explore identity, belonging, and justice through deeply personal stories. Her latest film, Ain't No Back to a Merry-Go-Round, chronicles the interracial protests that desegregated Glen Echo Amusement Park in 1960, blending historical footage with intimate interviews to illuminate how ordinary people shaped the civil rights movement.

Malawi has been one of the countries hit hardest by the Trump administration's funding cuts and tariff hikes. The stop-work orders issued by Washington in January have frozen several of the country's key sectors, including health, education and infrastructure. As Malawians vote in the 2025 presidential elections, FRANCE 24 embarks on a journey across the country to assess just how much US policies have impacted one of Africa's poorest nations. Tom Canetti, Caroline Dumay and Stefan Carstens report.

The director and producer of a new television series here in France has spoken of her delight at being able to feature France's LGBTQ+ community in a place where they feel safe. Amandine Gay is the woman behind "Ballroom" – a series that features the artistic competition of New York's ballroom culture, where the LGBTQ community combines fashion, dance and self-expression. She says the series shows how people get to know themselves and decide who they are going to be. She spoke to us in Perspective.

Harlem-based sculptor Kim Dacres brings her raw, unapologetic vision to Europe with "Crossroads Like This", now on view at the Zidoun-Bossuyt Gallery in Paris. Known for transforming discarded tyres into commanding forms, Dacres centres Black, queer and feminine identity in her work, shaping complex narratives of memory, resistance and cultural pride. From her Bronx studio to international acclaim, her voice is redefining what contemporary sculpture can say and who it represents. She spoke to us on arts24.

Many people from LGBT minorities who are persecuted in their own countries have found refuge in Canada. The NGO Rainbow Railroad, which supports threatened sexual and gender minorities around the world, helps them settle there. Since the beginning of the year, it has already received 8,500 requests for help. The NGO is particularly concerned about the worsening situation for minorities in the United States since Donald Trump's return to the White House. It says that in June 2025, requests for assistance from the US increased tenfold from the previous year. FRANCE 24's Joanne Profeta et François Rihouay report from Toronto, with Fraser Jackson.

Whether it involves making space for the trans community, raising awareness about conflicts in Ukraine and Palestine, expressing their distrust of conventional conservative attitudes or funding scientific research that has nothing to do with the fashion industry, Jeanne Friot, Rick Owens, Issey Miyake, Walter van Beirendonck and Agnès b. are all deeply committed to their causes. FRANCE 24 takes a closer look.

Brazil is home to over 4 million trans and non-binary people, the largest transgender population recorded anywhere. As the first country on the continent to legalise gay marriage, Brazil is seen as one of the most advanced in terms of LGBT rights. Yet it is also the country where the most trans people in the world are killed and raped. Fuelled by far-right discourse, evangelical fundamentalism is gaining ground. A number of churches, such as Libertos por Deus (Liberated by God) and its pastor Flavio Amaral, are setting up highly controversial conversion therapies. Our correspondent reports.

At a jam-packed EU summit in Brussels, we caught up with Sweden's EU Affairs Minister, Jessica Rosencrantz. Bouncing off Slovakia's and Hungary's opposition to a potential new round of Russia sanctions, she touches on the Hungarian government's ban on this Saturday's Pride march, insisting that the EU must be prepared to use "all the tools in its toolbox" to make sure that the rule of law is respected.

Threats to the rule of law and democratic values persist, and are getting worse in some areas. That is the message from MEPs following an analysis of the EU Commission's latest annual rule of law report, covering the year 2024. 

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.

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.

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.

Navid Sinaki speaks to Dheepthika Laurent on arts24 about how much of his own story is echoed in his novel "Medusa of the Roses". 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. In this episode we asked our guests the question: Can LGBT rights ever be part of African values?Kat Kai Kol-Kes is a performance artist, musician, writer and activist. She is known for being the first public figure from Botswana to openly identify as a trans. Va-Bene Fiatsi is a trans performance artist from Ghana who explores gender fluidity. Right now, the Ghanaian parliament is considering enacting anti-gay legislation which could lead to up to 10 years in jail. As an activist, Fiatsi is on the frontlines actively opposing it.Sheba Akpokli from Togo works as a lawyer in Canada and is a strong advocate for LGBTIAQ+ people. Hosted on Acast.

Even if homosexuality is not illegal in Madagascar, it is widely considered to be socially unacceptable. Many LGBT people have to hide their sexuality in order to hold onto their job or simply live in peace. They have developed their own networks, body language and dialect. FRANCE 24's Gaëlle Borgia, Vanessa Rakotomalala and Jedidia Andriamasy report.

We bring you a week of political and social events from across the African continent. This week, Uganda's constitutional court threw out a challenge to the homophobic law adopted last May. Also, Congolese wordsmiths the Tetra collective use slam poetry to explore their deep love of Congolese and French literature. And many women farmers in Senegal struggle to secure access to land in the rural communities where they are sidelined from ownership.

Marking LGBT+ History Month, this week we're looking at the battle for LGBT+ rights around the world. How great are the challenges facing rights campaigners today? And how could they be addressed? Date of episode recording: 2024-02-08T00:00:00Z Duration: 40:42 Language of episode: English Presenter: Prof Alan Renwick Guests: Phillip Ayoub Producer: Eleanor Kingwell-Banham

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. Ayoub and Kristina Stoeckl. The Global Fight Against LGBTI Rights: How Transnational Conservative Networks Target Sexual and Gender MinoritiesPhillip Ayoub. When States Come Out.

While the past year has seen major gains for LGBT+ rights, politicians around the world are increasingly using the community as scapegoats. Julie Dorf, Co-Chair of the Council for Global Equality, joins Ray Suarez to explain how a transnational network of American Christians is targeting LGBT+ rights at home… and abroad.   Guest:   Julie Dorf, Co-Chair of the Council for Global Equality   Host:     Ray Suarez   If you appreciate this episode and want to support the work we do, please consider making a donation to World Affairs.

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.

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.
