There's a reason why October is LGBTQ History Month. The community historically laid claim to it with a 1979 event in the U.S. capitol. Just ten years after Stonewall and long before the age of acronyms, the massive October 1979 march and rally for LGBTQ rights surpassed all expectations — for good and for ill. Excerpts from an hour-long radio documentary that you can stream at thiswayout.org. And in NewsWrap: Poland's coalition government introduces civil unions legislation, Saskatchewan's Parliament votes to require parental consent “when a student requests that their preferred name, gender identity, and/or gender expression to be used” at school, 97 percent of transgender and nonbinary young people receiving gender-affirming health care in a JAMA Pediatrics study are “highly satisfied,” U.S. presidential nominee Donald Trump's campaign ads deride Vice President and Democratic nominee Kamala Harris' support for transgender rights, and more international LGBTQ news reported by Melanie Keller and David Hunt (produced by Brian DeShazor).  All this on the October 28, 2024 edition of This Way Out!

Miami-Dade school board votes against recognizing LGBTQ+ History Month for 3rd year in a rowFor the third year in a row, the Miami-Dade County school board voted against a proposal to recognize October as LGBTQ+ History Month.The 5-3 vote on Wednesday came hours after the school board heard a mix of passionate opinions about whether to approve item H-10.VOTE NO ON AMNDMENT 4 NO Definitions Unlike other Amendments, Amendment 4 does not define any of its key terms. For example, it does not define “viability,” “health care provider,” “patient's health,” or how serious a health concern would need to be to allow exceptions for late-term abortions. These uncertainties create loopholes resulting in more abortions later in pregnancy than voters intend. Too EXTREMEAmendment 4 goes TOO FAR by allowing late-term abortions, far beyond when science says the baby is capable of feeling pain. Amendment 4 would overturn current laws requiring a parent's consent BEFORE a minor can have an abortion, thereby making abortion the only medical procedure that can be performed on a minor without a parent's permission. Amendment 4 pretends to “just bring things back to how they were with Roe vs. Wade” – but it actually goes much further – creating a constitutional right to abortion throughout all nine months with no protections for the unborn baby.Should Christians be in politics?Can politics save America?For years, RLR has urged Christians to take seriously theirobligations as citizens, starting with exercising the right tovote. In the public square and at the ballot box, we must bemore engaged, not less. Q. But what happens in a race where Christians are facedwith two morally problematic choices? Q. Should voters cast a ballot for the lesser of two evils?When it comes to citizenship in our current political context, Christians are plagued by two opposite mistakes.  The first is French theologian Jacques Ellul called “the political illusion,” or, assuming that everything rests on political outcomes. “If our guy is in office, all will be well. If their guy is in office, all will be lost.” The political illusion, to be clear, plagues both sides of the political and theological aisles. To describe a particular candidate in messianic terms is to suffer from the political illusion. To describe him or her as the anti-Christ is also to suffer from the political illusion. No political candidate will “save Christianity.” No candidate can “irreparably harm” it either. Other Christians are plagued by the political delusion, the idea that political engagement of any kind is pointlessly unnecessary or perhaps even implicates one in evil. Of course, there are cases throughout history where an election is a farce, or where political engagement aligns one with unmitigated evil. Neither is not the case for American Christians today. I will put it bluntly, for American Christians, voting is both a civic duty and a Christian responsibility.  The late, great Chuck Colson once wrote: The next time you hear someone tell you that Christians ought to take a vacation from politics, tell them to go fly a kite.  Listen, it's our duty as citizens of the kingdom of God to be the best citizens of the society we live in.Brothers and sisters, Christianity and good citizenship go together.

How did support for same-sex marriage grow so much in a relatively short space of time? What steps did it take to have equal marriage written into law? Why is marriage equality important and what does it mean to LGBTQ+ married or engaged individuals? In our new Ipsos UK podcast, our Ipsos UK PRIDE Network colleagues Eileen Irvin, Zac Forman, Chris Hutchings and Jessica Wrage discuss the 10th anniversary of equal marriage in the UK as part of LGBTQ+ History Month. We look at Ipsos research that sheds a light on how much attitudes have changed on this issue over the years and then look at how public support drove changes to the law. Finally, the panel discusses their personal experiences of what same-sex marriage means to them to showcase why marriage equality is one of the defining moments of the LGBTQ+ rights movement. Have a listen to find out why equal marriage was and remains so special.

October marks LGBTQ History Month, and this week on At Liberty we are honoring the legacy of LGBTQ activism throughout the AIDS epidemic. Throughout the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, AIDS claimed the lives of thousands of New Yorkers per year, with city, state, and national governments doing little to address the crisis. In response to government inaction and homophobia, a group of New York City activists founded ACT UP, a grassroots, queer-led protest movement to urge action, call for change, and stand in the gap as thousands of queer people died. Due to their dogged persistence, steadfast unity in diversity, and pointed demonstrations, ACT UP achieved lasting victories in medical treatment, health care access, and more. Today, in classrooms across the country, this history has largely gone untold. In our broader public discourse, the AIDS epidemic in the U.S. and the subsequent movement that rose to fight for LGBTQ lives is often overlooked. Enter Sarah Schulman, a novelist, journalist, playwright, and AIDS historian, who is fighting to ensure that we remember. Schulman is the author of 20 books, her latest being “Let the Record Show: A Political History of ACT UP, New York 1987-1993,” which documents the people and tactics behind ACT UP's success. Sarah is also the co-director of the ACT UP Oral History Project. She joins us today to share her expertise and remember the movement.

What are you are about to watch is a recording from a Pride Panel Conversation we held in June. Given the current cultural climate and the reality that the lives of LGBTQ+ people are being politicized for nefarious reasons, I wanted to amplify the discussion and strategies shared earlier this year because the knowledge and skills discussed are simply too important to leave in our archives. Rather, we wanted to democratize this valuable information to enhance your own diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) practice.   To help answer the question about how leading brands of choice can build gender inclusive cultures that last, I've shared important context below to set the stage for this dynamic conversation with leading TGX business owners and DEIB practitioners.   Since the rise of the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement in the late 1960s, the experiences of transgender, nonbinary, and gender expansive (TGX) employees in the workplace have dynamically shifted. Over these past five decades, TGX employees have benefited from workplace protections, greater social visibility, and acceptance in a growing number of workplaces.   Given all of these gains, many falsely believe transgender and gender expansive employees have equal access to jobs, promotions, and stretch assignments they are qualified for. Many more also falsely believe that trans employees can no longer be fired, denied a promotion, or even a job interview simply because of who they are.   Tragically, today's reality presents a different story:   According to the Human Rights Watch, “at least 9 countries have national laws criminalizing forms of gender expression that target transgender & gender expansive people.” Legal punishments vary including life imprisonment and even the death penalty.   In the U.S., the Supreme Court ruled a landmark case in 2020 stating that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 extends protections from workplace discrimination for LGBTQ+ employees. Despite this monumental ruling, trans & gender expansive employees in the United States, particularly BIPOC trans employees, frequently endure workplace discrimination and harassment, resulting in lower job security, economic stability, and a lack of psychological safety.   While most workplaces recognize that discrimination has no place in business, let alone society, critical gaps in legal protections still remain and create barriers to building gender inclusive cultures at work. Specifically, the U.S. still lacks a federal law protecting employees on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity, and even in states and localities that do offer these protections, transforming workplace culture to fully include trans & gender expansive workers remain unfinished.   And in 2023 alone, 574 anti-transgender bills were introduced in 49 states. This legislation attempts to block TGX people from receiving basic healthcare, education, legal recognition, and the right to public accommodations. Over 14% of these bills have already been signed into law, and their impacts reverberate throughout our country, with many trans people and their families relocating to friendlier states in an attempt to flee from anti-transgender political agendas and their negative messages.   Tragically, many leaders struggle to recognize how their businesses can be adversely impacted if they fail to respond to this moment. While many want to demonstrate their support for their TGX colleagues, many don't know how. If you also find yourself struggling with how to avoid performative actions, and instead wish to take long-lasting actions that will help you build a gender inclusive workplace, you are in the right place. This panel discussion was created for you. The conversation we are about to have will help reduce any feelings of overwhelm, and offer concrete ideas on how to improve your workplace culture. Fortunately, we have a dynamic group of panelists to help clarify why anti-transgender legislation is a business concern and to learn how anyone participating in today's panel discussion can take meaningful actions to build a gender inclusive workplace. Our panelists include:   --Celia Sandhya Daniels (she/they), Founder of Rebekon Consulting --Gavriel Legynd (he/him), CEO of Visioneer IT --Rex Wilde (they/them), Founder of Rex Wilde Consulting --Rhodes Perry (he/him), Host, Founder of Rhodes Perry Consulting   Together, we will explore how to move beyond performative actions and we also discuss the importance of current LGBTQ+ employees potential to ascending into the highest ranks of leadership to enjoy better company performance, accelerating the company's DEIB commitments, and attracting new clients and vendors.   Savor this insightful conversation, and if you're looking for ways to build gender inclusive cultures that last year  round, consider joining our Belonging Membership Community by visiting: www.belongingmembershipcommunity.com

Aside from being the spookiest month of the year, October is also LGBTQ History Month and you should know by now that this is a queer and queer-adjacent podcast, so we conceived this episode in the spirit of that. In this episode, Stef gets into some of their own personal experiences at gay bars and lesbian bars (and "queer nights") over the years and also gives both a very brief history of the conception and function of the lesbian bar in the U.S. and some perspective on how and why there's only 24 of them left in the whole country. This is a topic we're sure many of you don't know a lot about, so we're positive you'll learn something from it. You can find Fat Guy, Jacked Guy on Twitter and Instagram. And you can find Stef on the web here and Brendan here. Support us on Patreon!!! There's extra content for Patreon supporters, as well as opportunities to interact with us in other ways besides listening to the podcast. We appreciate any and all help you can provide, and we hope to keep this going for a long, long time. Thank you in advance for your support and love! You are our brothers!

It's October, which means it's LGBTQ History Month, a time to remember, look back and celebrate the history of LGBTQ activism and the resulting progress. It's also a time to acknowledge the work still to be done and understand the roots of systemic discrimination and inequality. To that end, our fight continues. On October 17th, the ACLU is headed to District court in Arkansas to argue the case of Brandt v. Rutledge, where we are challenging Arkansas's law banning health care for transgender adolescents. Today, we have a special conversation for you. We're hearing from Gillian Branstetter, communications strategist for the ACLU's gender justice work in conversation with Chase Strangio, Deputy Director for Transgender Justice at the ACLU's LGBT & HIV Project and Jules Gill-Peterson, an Associate Professor of History at Johns Hopkins University and author of The Histories of the Transgender Child. Together, they'll break down the case ahead of us and the history that brought us here.

In honor of LGBTQ History Month, we are revisiting some of our favorite episodes of the podcast. Enjoy our return to Queer Church: Part 1! When you think about the Catholic church and its relation to the LGBTQ+ community, either as a believer or a non-believer, it likely isn't as an ally. But the church's stance on same-sex love isn't as cut and dry as you might think. Over the span of two millenia, the church has adapted, however slowly, to a changing world. Today, we'll start part one of our exploration of the history of same-sex love in the Catholic church, and how the church's perspective and enforcement has changed over 2000 years.

In honor of LGBTQ History Month, we are revisiting some of our favorite episodes of the podcast. Enjoy our return to A History of Gay Pirates! How do pirates know they're pirates? They think… therefore they ARRR. Sorry for that terrible joke. But I want us all to get into the space of pirates. The open sea, violence, stealing, run-ins with the law, and above all, freedom -- from the social burdens of the Early Modern Era and -- freedom to love who they loved. Pirates have been around forever. From the Vikings in the 8th century to Somali pirates in recent years, there is something undeniably exciting about sailing the ocean and taking what you want. My guest today is pirate scholar and aficionado, Rebecca Simon. The pirates we'll meet today were way more exciting than eye patches and wooden legs. Get ready for a crash course on the Golden Age of piracy -- the time of Blackbeard and the real Pirates of the Carribean. We'll meet famous queer pirates like John Swann, Robert Culliford, Ann Bonnie, and Mary Read. And maybe we'll go home with a few pirate-inspired tips on how to use your style to intimidate.
