Pride Month is here. It's a month to celebrate the achievements of LGBTQ Americans and the impact they've had on our past and present. But it's also a weird and very scary time for a lot of people. So what do we do now — at a time that somehow feels both great yet increasingly scary? To find out, we spoke with Human Rights Campaign President Kelley Robinson.And in headlines, Iran's top diplomat says the tentative deal to end the war would require Israel to withdraw from Lebanon, House Judiciary Ranking Member Jamie Raskin announces an investigation into FBI Director Kash Patel, and Vice President JD Vance braves the most intimidating interview known to man.

Shadow Politics with Senator Michael D. Brown Remembering Barney Frank: Shadow Politics Replays a Conversation on Democracy, DC Statehood, Reform, and Public Service Michael D. Brown Opens with a Tribute to Barney Frank In this episode of Shadow Politics, Former Shadow Senator Michael D. Brown opens by explaining that the program will not take live calls because it is replaying a special interview with Congressman Barney Frank. Brown says Frank had recently passed away and describes him as an important Democratic stalwart whose public service spanned decades. He frames the replay as a tribute to Frank's life, career, intellect, humor, and long support for democratic representation, including DC statehood. Revisiting the 2022 Interview The replayed interview comes from a 2022 edition of Shadow Politics, hosted by Michael D. Brown with then co-host Marília Duffles. Brown introduces Barney Frank as a legendary former member of the U.S. House of Representatives who served from 1981 to 2013, chaired the House Financial Services Committee, and was a leading co-sponsor of the Dodd-Frank Act. Brown also notes Frank's status as one of the most prominent openly gay politicians in the United States and thanks him for his early support of DC voting rights and statehood. DC Statehood and Representation Brown begins the interview by recalling a previous backstage encounter with Barney Frank, Tom Harkin, and Bill Clinton in Iowa, where Frank and Harkin jokingly debated who supported DC statehood first. Frank discusses his long support for giving the District of Columbia representation and notes the irony that states with smaller populations than DC can help block the District's path to full rights. Brown connects that issue to the filibuster and the difficulty of advancing statehood legislation in the Senate. The Economy, Inflation, and the Midterms The conversation then turns to the economy and the 2022 midterm elections. Brown asks whether Democrats were doomed because of inflation and economic frustration. Frank says Democrats were in trouble politically, but argues that inflation was a worldwide issue tied to energy, the war in Ukraine, and global economic pressures rather than simply the fault of President Biden or Democrats. He also notes that despite inflation, the economy had strong areas, including low unemployment and wage growth among lower-income workers. Dodd-Frank and Financial Reform Marília Duffles asks whether the Dodd-Frank Act actually made the financial system safer or simply created more regulatory complexity. Frank defends the law, saying it worked well and helped prevent a financial crisis during the severe disruption of the pandemic. He explains that the law was broad because it combined what could have been many separate bills into one package, largely because of Senate filibuster realities. He also says major financial leaders had since acknowledged that the law was functioning effectively and did not require major changes. LGBTQ Rights, Race, and Social Progress Brown asks whether LGBTQ rights were under greater attack in the country. Frank replies that gay people have always faced attacks, but argues that conditions for LGBTQ Americans had improved dramatically over the decades, especially regarding marriage equality and general social acceptance. He says transgender rights remained more contested, but expresses optimism because younger generations are far more supportive. Frank also contrasts progress on LGBTQ issues with what he sees as more troubling regression on race, especially after the weakening of the Voting Rights Act. Democratic Politics, Young Voters, and Biden The interview also covers President Biden's standing with voters, especially young people. Frank says Biden could do more on student loan debt and marijuana policy, both of which he believes matter to younger voters. However, he also argues that Biden and congressional Democrats accomplished a great deal despite having only 50 Democratic senators. Frank says frustration often comes from voters expecting more than the political reality allows, especially when senators such as Joe Manchin limit what can pass. Ukraine, Putin, and Global Democracy Marília raises the war in Ukraine and asks whether the United States could do more to help. Frank praises Biden's handling of the crisis, especially his ability to build and maintain a broad coalition of European and allied nations against Russia. He compares Putin's aggression to earlier authoritarian expansion and says Biden's coalition-building has been a strong example of foreign policy leadership. Brown then asks whether Russia, China, India, North Korea, and other authoritarian or illiberal forces could form a dangerous bloc, and Frank says the democratic response today is stronger than the weak response to Hitler in the 1930s. Reparations, Harvard, and Institutional Responsibility Brown asks about Harvard and other universities committing money or institutional efforts toward reparations or recognition of slavery's legacy. Frank says universities such as Harvard and Georgetown are acknowledging that they directly benefited from slavery and related exploitation, making those efforts a form of deferred payment or responsibility for services and labor that helped build those institutions. On national reparations, he says the policy is more complicated, but he supports strong efforts to address the economic damage caused by slavery, racism, and later discrimination. Political Polarization and the Loss of Collegiality The interview closes with reflections on Congress, political polarization, and public service. Marília asks about the decline of substance, civility, and intelligence in politics. Frank says collegiality has collapsed and that more extreme elements have gained influence, partly because reasonable voters often withdraw from the process while extremists show up in primaries. He argues that voters must punish destructive behavior if they want it to end. Frank also reflects on missing the people of Congress, especially talented staff and colleagues, while enjoying the reduced stress of retirement. Closing Tribute The replay ends with Brown thanking Barney Frank and dedicating a closing song to him, describing Frank as someone he admired during and after his time in Congress. The current episode's tribute framing gives the interview added weight: it presents Frank not only as a policymaker, but as a sharp, funny, principled public servant who spoke clearly about democracy, equality, reform, representation, and the responsibilities of political life.

400+ Anti-LGBTQ Bills: Why Pride Month Still Matters Many people ask: “Why do we still need Pride Month?” After all, same-sex marriage is legal. LGBTQ people are visible in media, business, and politics. Haven't we won? The answer is no. As Pride Month begins, LGBTQ Americans—especially transgender youth—are facing the most significant legal and political backlash in decades. While marriage equality remains intact nationwide, the fight has shifted from expanding rights to defending them. More than 400 anti-LGBTQ bills have been introduced across dozens of states, while over 100 anti-trans laws have been enacted in recent years. From healthcare restrictions and sports bans to book censorship and attacks on legal recognition, the LGBTQ community is confronting a coordinated effort to roll back hard-won protections. In this episode, Karel examines:

The Human Rights Campaign president on LGBTQ voters, anti-trans politics, authoritarianism, and why “hope is a discipline.” In this episode of The Margin — a midterm election coverage collaboration between The Electorette and URL Media — Jen Taylor-Skinner speaks with Human Rights Campaign President Kelley Robinson about the state of American democracy, rising attacks on LGBTQ Americans, and the political stakes heading into the 2026 midterms. Robinson discusses new polling showing historically high LGBTQ voter engagement, why anti-trans attacks are becoming central to Republican strategy, and what candidates need to understand about the communities powering Democratic victories. The conversation also explores Black women's political influence, voter mobilization, authoritarianism, and why Robinson believes joy itself can be a form of resistance. “Hope is a discipline,” Robinson says. “Our joy is resistance, too.” Learn more about your ad choices.

Are Trans Ballot Measures Protecting Kids or Turning LGBTQ Americans into Campaign Props? Are Politicians Playing Politics with Liberty? Are transgender related ballot initiatives really about protecting girls' sports, privacy, parental rights, and children, or are political campaigns using emotional issues to drive voter turnout?In this episode of Go Right with Peter Boykin, the Constitutionalist for Liberty, Peter responds to an LGBTQ Nation article originally published by Mother Jones and written by Madison Pauly. The article raises the question of whether anti trans ballot initiatives are being used as Republican “ballot candy.”Peter breaks down the issue from a constitutional, moderate, Go Right perspective. This is not about denying real concerns. Girls' sports matter. Privacy matters. Parental rights matter. Children matter. Women's spaces matter. But so does human dignity, local control, free speech, and limiting government power.This episode asks the question many Americans are thinking but few in politics want to answer: are voters being asked to solve real policy problems, or are politicians using children, women, LGBTQ Americans, and parents as campaign props?Peter also speaks from the perspective of gay Americans who do not classify themselves as Democrats, who reject left wing gender ideology but also reject cruelty, dehumanization, and political exploitation. Protect girls' sports. Protect privacy. Protect children. Respect parents. Respect free speech. But do it with narrow, clear, constitutional policy.Article Link:Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/R3JmpjQ-Jtc Watch on Rumble: https://rumble.com/v79pxl6-are-trans-ballot-measures-protecting-kids-or-turning-lgbtq-americans-into-c.html Bitchute: https://www.bitchute.com/video/P4IMXApTRhFi/ Listen on Spreaker:https://www.spreaker.com/episode/are-trans-ballot-measures-protecting-kids-or-turning-lgbtq-americans-into-campaign-props--71964097More from Peter Boykin:GoRightNews.com PeterBoykin.com GoRightMusic.com Support independent constitutional media: Cash App: $GoRightNews This episode responds to an LGBTQ Nation article originally published by Mother Jones and written by Madison Pauly.The article cites reporting and data from The Nevada Independent, Associated Press, Pew Research Center, Gallup, Saint Louis University and YouGov, St. Louis Public Radio, NBC News, Nebraska Public Media, Nebraska Examiner, Bangor Daily News, News Center Maine, Maine campaign finance records, Civil Rights Litigation Clearinghouse, The Maine Beacon, and public statements from political figures and advocacy organizations involved in the debate.#GoRight, #PeterBoykin, #GoRightNews, #ConstitutionalistForLiberty, #ParentalRights, #GirlsSports, #WomenSports, #ProtectChildren, #FreeSpeech, #LocalControl, #ConstitutionalRepublic, #LGBTQ, #GayConservative, #GaysForTrump, #TransDebate, #PoliticalPodcast, #ModerateConservative, #CommonSense, #NorthCarolina, #LibertyFirstBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/go-right-with-peter-boykin-the-constitutionalist-for-liberty--3096608/support.

Kathrine Nero The Olympics are supposed to be the world's easiest storyline. A flag and a uniform. A start line and a finish. A medal – and a moment. So when Team USA athletes showed up in Milan wearing the red, white and blue while also saying, out loud, that they're wrestling with what's happening back home, it short-circuited the script. Suddenly the story is not just the performance. It's the symbolism. It's the timing. It's the tension between representing a country and questioning it in the same breath. And then comes the second storyline, the one we rarely name as clearly: the newsroom storyline. Because the most interesting question here is not “Should they have said it?” The more revealing question is: What do we do with it once they do? In the last few weeks, US skier Hunter Hess described having “mixed emotions” about representing the U.S. right now, referencing what he called turmoil tied to immigration enforcement back home. He also drew sharp backlash that became part of the story itself. Figure skater Amber Glenn, asked about how the political climate is affecting LGBTQ Americans, said she would not be quiet about issues that affect daily life, then later shared that she received what she described as a “scary amount” of hate and threats after speaking out. Here's the point from 30,000 feet: the Olympics didn't suddenly become political. They've always been political. What's changed is that athletes now have direct-to-audience platforms and newsrooms now have to decide, in real time, how to package the collision. The assignment desk problem: sports story or civic story? This is the tightrope for editors and producers. If an athlete says, “I'm proud to compete for Team USA, and I'm heartbroken about what I'm seeing in America,” you can cover it at least four different ways: As a sports story: athlete mindset, distractions, pressure, “can they stay focused?” As a civic story: policy context, impact, public debate, what's happening back home As a culture story: identity, patriotism, protest, belonging, backlash As a media story: what happens when the athlete becomes the headline and the performance becomes the second paragraph None of those frames are automatically “right.” But they are not neutral. Framing is editorial. Framing is meaning. A quick sports hit can treat the quote as a sidebar, a quick mention before highlights. A civic frame can make the athlete the entry point to a bigger national conversation. A culture frame can turn it into a referendum on patriotism. A media frame can ask why the backlash is so predictable and why the algorithm loves conflict more than context. And that choice changes what the audience walks away believing happened. What audiences want vs. what journalism requires A lot of fans genuinely want sports to be an escape. The world is heavy and sports has always offered relief and routine. But journalists can't always honor the escape if the moment is telling a bigger truth. When athletes talk about torn allegiances, they're not “bringing politics into sports” as much as they're acknowledging that sports is already one of the most visible mirrors of our society. The question for journalism is whether we cover that mirror responsibly or treat it like a funhouse. It's easy to clip a controversial soundbite, post it and talk it to death. It's harder to explain, provide context, and to make room for complexity - without losing the audience. That's the job now. And it's harder than people think. The Olympics hand us powerful moments. Athletes sometimes hand us complicated ones. And newsrooms decide whether the public gets clarity or heat. So the headline isn't really “athlete sparks controversy.” The headline should be: how do we cover a national symbol when the person wearing it is telling their truth about living inside it? That's not a sports question. That's a journalism question. And the answer is still out there.

On March 31st — just two weeks ago — the Supreme Court ruled that the state of Colorado couldn't ban conversion therapy for minors. They called it a matter of “free speech.”But to the nearly 700,000 LGBTQ+ Americans who have gone through conversion therapy, it's a lot more than an abstract issue about free speech. It's a trauma they're still dealing with, even if it happened to them years or decades ago.One of those 700,000 is Drew Amstutz, Red Wine & Blue's Chief of Staff and all-around delightful human. On this week's podcast, he shared some of the horrifying details of being forced through conversion therapy as a 15-year-old kid.Please be warned if you have trauma around religion or sexual harassment; Drew's story is hard to hear. But it's still happening every day to kids across the country, so it's crucial that we talk about it. LGBTQ+ youth who go through conversion therapy face a higher suicide risk — not just while they're experiencing it, but for the rest of their lives. It's a practice that manipulates parents into traumatizing their kids for simply being themselves.When you hear about a 60-year-old man breaking down a 15-year-old child, including techniques like gaslighting and sexual harassment, it's hard not to draw connections to other powerful abusers like Epstein. Again and again, we see this country protect the rich and powerful and cast aside women and children.The episode wasn't all doom and gloom, though! After discussion Drew's personal story, we talked about joy in the LGBTQ+ community. When so many powerful forces — from the government to your parents — are telling you that who you are is wrong, fun and community can be lifesaving.This episode is honest and heartbreaking, but it's also joyful and full of love. Despite the trauma he experienced, Drew is one of the most kind, uplifting, and competent people that all of us here at Red Wine & Blue have ever had the pleasure to meet. We know you'll love him too. ❤️For a transcript of this episode, please email comms@redwine.blue.

For generations of LGBTQ+ Americans, a simple night out could mean a huge risk. But the local gay bar offered safety, community, resistance, and eventually revolution.Long before Pride parades and marriage equality, queer bars were the beating heart of LGBTQ life in America. Hidden behind unmarked doors and dim neon lights, these spaces offered something the outside world often refused: safety, connection, and the freedom to exist. From underground gatherings in the 1800s to legendary spaces like the Stonewall Inn, queer bars became sanctuaries where community was built and where history was made.In this episode of Beers With Queers, we're joined by the hosts of Cruising Podcast, Rachel Karp and Sarah Gabrielli to explore the powerful history and cultural importance of queer bars across the United States. Together we explore why these bars were never just nightlife, but a lifeline. We discuss the decline of not only the number of gay bars in the US but the lack of dependency of them in the digital age. We also discuss Cruising Podcast's amazing 10K, one month road trip across America to visit each of the 25 lesbian bars left in the country as well their new book The Lesbian Bar Chronicles coming to anywhere you buy books May 2026.

In Season 2, Cruising takes listeners to each of these new bars and travels back in time to explore lesbian bars of decades past.

The other day I heard someone talking about American Refugees, and the exodus of people fleeing from the US. Is it real? What is a refugee, anyway? And how does Richard Gere fit into all this?

We'll hear about the LGBTQ Americans in Dutch refugee camps, about "making your money go further", about having your pets shipped to Spain and much much more.

Republicans Want You Sick, Tired, and Distracted | Karel Cast 25-164 Republicans are pushing policies that leave Americans with higher health premiums, fewer protections, and no real solutions—while Trump tries to rebrand “affordability” by blaming Democrats for an economy his party refuses to fix. Behind the scenes, GOP lawmakers are advancing legislation that completely ignores skyrocketing insurance rates. At the same time, the economy continues to slide, and the message from the right is loud and clear: Stay sick. Stay tired. Stay powerless. LGBTQ leaders are sounding the alarm as authoritarianism spreads through American institutions. “Stop thinking you're safe, because you're not,” one warns. From ICE disabling security cameras to secretive abuses of power, systems meant to protect us are instead targeting marginalized communities—especially LGBTQ Americans. This is why I've openly questioned staying in the United States. We're watching constitutional norms erode in real time, and history tells us who becomes the first target.

For generations, gays and lesbians often found community in bars. That's changed in recent years, but political events — and the corporate pullback from pride — have LGBTQ Americans thinking more about separate places they can be themselves.

AOC proves that she's a moron once again by accusing conservatives of believing women are inferior, that LGBTQ Americans are subhuman and that all conservatives are white supremacist. She's the dumbest member of congress.

From Willy Chavarria's Spring/Summer 2026 collection honoring those unjustly imprisoned at Cecot Prison in El Salvador, to the 2025 Met Gala's bold celebration of Black Dandyism amidst government efforts to erase the contributions of Black and LGBTQ+ Americans, Sarah breaks down how clothes speak louder than words.After walking us through the designers and fashion movements that speak to her, she enjoys a colorful homemade Mediterranean salad — a personal nod to her belief that there's beauty (and strength) in multitudes.

As Pride month is now in full swing, Erik Piepenburg, journalist and contributor to The New York Times, and author of the new book Dining Out: First Dates, Defiant Nights, and Last Call Disco Fries at America's Gay Restaurants (Grand Central Publishing, 2025), talks about how LGBTQ-friendly restaurants have nurtured queer Americans and their fight for civil rights.

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.

The Trump regime built much of its identity–and certainly campaigned around–its hatred of LGBTQ Americans. Unfortunately, the success of that campaign again revealed just how much anti-queer bias there is in the American populace. And while there may be no populated nation in the world that is truly free of anti-queer bias, there are places that are better, are different, or that offer new perspectives. Alden Jones' work explores queer travel. Alden is an assistant professor at Emerson College and the author of the memoirs The Blind Masseuse and The Wanting Was a Wilderness and the story collection Unaccompanied Minors.

Pardon me while I close a few "open tabs" on the laptop heading into the weekend.A ruby-red, Trump-adoring Georgia county"found out" about 700 "green energy" jobs planned for at a new battery plant south of Newnan aren't coming, after all. While the Norwegian company spoke ofinflation and costs, it's hard not to connect the "drill baby, drill" dots.The Georgia Senatepassed SB-1, banning trans girls & women from scholastic & collegiate sports. Senator Kim Jackson (D-41) sought to soften the blow, a bit, byinserting an amendment to "require school districts ensure that boys' and girls' teams be given comparable funding, access to facilities, equipment and other accommodations.," thinking Republican supporters of the bill would sure be consistent with their rhetoric. They were not. The bill now moves to the House for consideration there.Steve Bannon revealed, in a 2019 Frontline interview, the Trumpian 'flood the zone' effect, and -as MSNBC's Jen Psaki pointed out recently - it works. Hence my cautioning folks left of center against freaking out over issues that rattle their sensibilities that don't even emanate from the White House. TheNFL's "end racism" switch-a-roo, for example. R-E-L-A-X. Bigger fish to fry.Author and political historian Heather Cox Richardsonnoted Thursdaynight that the Trump administration is "gaming Google" to "create a mirage of mass deportations." She also pointed out that the GOP - since Reagan - has been spinning this yarn that the federal government has been "taking" tax dollars from white conservative voters and "trying to hand tax dollars and power to undeserving Black and Brown Americans, women, and LGBTQ+ Americans." Also that Trump's been targeting CBS and '60 Minutes' for selectively editing their interview with then-VP Kamala Harris (a lie -here it is; watch for yourself).Friend of the show Jay Bookman penned his latest Georgia Recorder op/ed, panning any notion of Georgia joining 39 other states in permitting sports wagering. I've no real opinion on this, though,he makes solid correlations between bankruptcy, lower credit scores, etc., in states that welcome the practice; but I do think if Democrats want to make some headway with Republicans eager to move on this, that they use the tax dollars from it for a big-ticket wish-list item that needs to be on someone's radar.

On this week's episode of 'The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart': Trumponomics: President Trump's tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China go into effect Tuesday, with Mexico  and Canada planning retaliatory tariffs against the United States. Trump admits they may cause pain for the American consumer but says it will be worth the price. Rep. Suzan DelBene, member of the House Ways and Means Committee, explains the impact of what the Wall Street Journal correctly calls "The Dumbest Trade War in History." Lavender Scare: President Trump has embarked on an assault on LGBTQ Americans not seen since the 1940s and 1950s. His intense focus on transgender Americans is especially galling. I'll talk with Kelley Robinson, president of the Human Rights Campaign, about how to protect the community from attack. The Purge: Trump, with an assist from First Buddy Elon Musk, is making good on his promise to decimate the federal workforce, even if it means breaking security rules. Former Rep. Joe Walsh and Ameshia Cross join me to talk about this assault on our democracy. And Thin ICE: Immigration enforcement is going way beyond undocumented immigrants who've committed violent crimes. Now, protections are being revoked for thousands of legal migrants. A view of the real-world impact with Dara Lind of the American Immigration Council. All that and more on “The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart.” 

After the election, there was a spike in incidents involving neo-Nazi marches and racist and hateful messages sent online, stoking fear for residents in several states across the country. Black, Latino and LGBTQ+ Americans in at least 25 states have been subjected to racist text messages telling them to report to a plantation to pick cotton.

Hispanic and LGBTQ Americans have also reported receiving text messages. It is not known who is responsible but it's raising questions about how people behind the attacks know the race and sexual orientation of their victims.AAA expects the Thanksgiving travel season to be another record-breaker, which means packed planes and potential traffic troubles.

Should we stay or should we go now? That's the question that LGBTQ+ folks and their families have been asking over the last several months of this 2024 election cycle. If Trump wins, are we safe?
