The male (a father) plays a very important role. Masculinity cannot be entirely and comprehensively supplemented by a mother. It is not “do as I say”, it is “do as you see me doing”. The eyes take in the largest amount of information during the communication process.What gets set up in childhood, plays out in adulthood, in how we interact with others; seeking to bond, yet avoid repeat hurt. It is called Insecure Attachment. Insecure Attachment in Adulthood, often presents as “Love Addiction”, where the individual is not so much chasing Love, but connection; acceptance; to be inclusive; to be wanted; to be secure.The stuff of Sex, Porn, Love Addiction is indiscriminate. It impacts, in a significant way, women, children, men, LGBTQI community - cutting across all of the societal stratas and ages - (aged 9 to 75). The scale of addiction is staggering and is at pandemic levels:•          12% of all internet websites contain pornography.•          25% of all search engine queries—68 million per day—relate to sex.•          35% of all downloads are pornographic.•          70% of men aged 18–24 visit porn sites monthly.•          Average first exposure: 11 years old.•          1 in 5 pastors struggle with pornography.•          Over 50% of practising Christians report occasional porn use.•          Neurodivergent individuals show higher compulsive-use rates. Get some help from The Kairos Centre.

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ https://www.bastabugie.it/8357ANGLICANI A PEZZI, IN NIGERIA RESPINTA LA ''PAPESSA'' DI CANTERBURY di Federica Di Vito La Comunione anglicana di Nigeria ha criticato la nomina del vescovo Sarah Mullally come arcivescovo di Canterbury. In una dichiarazione rilasciata lunedì e firmata dall'arcivescovo, metropolita e primate della chiesa della Nigeria, il reverendo Henry C. Ndukuba, l'elezione viene descritta come «devastante» e in contrasto con le convinzioni della maggioranza degli anglicani a livello globale.L'annuncio è arrivato il 3 ottobre: per la prima volta una donna viene nominata arcivescovo di Canterbury, la massima autorità spirituale della Comunione anglicana e primate d'Inghilterra. Nella pratica, sarebbe la "papessa" anglicana, sebbene la sua figura non ha nulla a che fare con il ruolo del Successore di Pietro. Si tratta della 63enne Sarah Mullally, sposata e madre di due figli, ex infermiera (dal 2004 si è dedicata al ministero) con ruoli di un certo livello nel Sistema sanitario inglese come direttore non esecutivo del Consiglio inglese di infermeria, ostetricia e assistenza sanitaria domestica. È diventata "presbitero" della chiesa anglicana nel 2006 e poi "vescovo" di Londra nel 2019. È succeduta a Justin Welby, che si è dimesso all'inizio di quest'anno a causa di accuse di pedofilia. Considerata riformista, nel suo primo sermone da vescovo di Londra disse di se stessa in quanto donna: «Sono naturalmente sovversiva». Negli ultimi anni poi è stata promotrice del programma "Vivere nell'Amore e nella Fede" volto anche a «includere e sopportare maggiormente le persone Lgbtqi+».«Si tratta di un doppio rischio», si legge nella dichiarazione della comunità anglicana nigeriana, «in primo luogo, per la sua insensibilità nei confronti della convinzione della maggioranza degli anglicani che non riescono ad accettare la leadership femminile nell'episcopato e, in secondo luogo, cosa ancora più preoccupante, perché il vescovo Sarah Mullally è una forte sostenitrice del matrimonio tra persone dello stesso sesso». La Comunione anglicana della Nigeria ha ricordato i commenti del vescovo Mullally dopo il voto del 2023 della Chiesa d'Inghilterra che andò ad approvare le benedizioni per le coppie dello stesso sesso: «Un momento di speranza», furono le sue parole.«Resta da vedere come speri di ricomporre il tessuto già lacerato della Comunione anglicana a causa della controversa questione del matrimonio tra persone dello stesso sesso, che ha causato un'enorme crisi in tutta la Comunione per oltre due decenni», prosegue ancora la dichiarazione dei nigeriani. Rifiutando ufficialmente la leadership dell'arcivescovo di Canterbury, la Comunione di Nigeria ha affermato il suo allineamento con la Global Anglican Future Conference (GAFCON): «La Chiesa della Nigeria afferma la posizione GAFCON senza riserve e ribadisce la nostra precedente posizione di difendere l'autorità delle Scritture, i nostri credi storici, l'evangelizzazione e la vita cristiana santa, indipendentemente dall'attuale agenda revisionista». La Nigeria, che vede i suoi cristiani letteralmente sotto attacco e provati dal martirio, difficilmente infatti si appiattisce su scelte mondane che al massimo possono attirare la nostra Europa secolarizzata.La Comunione anglicana nigeriana ha inoltre invitato gli anglicani conservatori in Inghilterra e altrove a resistere a quelli che ha definito «insegnamenti empi» e a difendere la verità biblica: «Incoraggiamo tutti i fedeli fratelli e sorelle della Chiesa d'Inghilterra che hanno costantemente rifiutato l'aberrazione chiamata matrimonio omosessuale e altri insegnamenti empi, lottando per la fede che è stata trasmessa agli eletti».In realtà, nonostante il rumor generale, la nomina di Sarah Mullally non è una sorpresa. Men che meno una «rivoluzione» che «bussa alle porte del pontificato di papa Leone XIV», come vorrebbe Il Fatto quotidiano. Si tratta bensì della naturale conseguenza della scelta che compì la chiesa anglicana nel 1992, quando aprì la possibilità alle donne di accedere al sacerdozio, in netto contrasto con la Chiesa cattolica all'epoca guidata da Giovanni Paolo II. Ci vollero altri vent'anni per aprire anche all'episcopato. Ecco perché non dovevamo di certo aspettare il 2025 per immaginare che prima o poi anche una donna avrebbe aspirato a diventare "papessa".Questa frattura nella comunità anglicana - che, lo facciamo notare, in Nigeria non è marginale visto che sono stimati 20 milioni di anglicani di fronte ai 25 stimati in Gran Bretagna - continua a non sorprenderci se consideriamo anche il percorso di vita del prossimo dottore della Chiesa cattolica san John Henry Newman. Fu lui a concludere attraverso lo studio dei Padri della Chiesa che la verità non è una questione di compromesso o equilibri e che la progressiva deriva protestante della comunità anglicana era dietro l'angolo. Il predominio della libertà di spirito l'avrebbe condotta inesorabilmente a scelte mondane guidate dallo spirito del tempo. Speriamo che l'insegnamento del futuro dottore della Chiesa sia tenuto in buon conto anche in casa cattolica.

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ https://www.bastabugie.it/8354LA LOBBY LGBT VUOLE ABBANDONARE LA ''T'', CIOE' I TRANSESSUALI di Fabio Piemonte Il mondo Lgbtqi+ si spacca e lo sta facendo dal suo interno, anche se non è la prima volta che accade nella miriade di associazioni che si adoperano per promuovere l'agenda arcobaleno. Nel caso di specie, coloro che si autodefiniscono lesbiche, gay e bisessuali stavano infatti già manifestando da un po' di tempo la loro contrarietà rispetto a certe derive dell'ideologia di genere, e in special mondo al transessualismo, all'identità di genere e al non-binarismo di uomini e donne. Di qui, non riconoscendosi ormai più nelle istanze della galassia arcobaleno, l'ormai già famosa comunità Lgb International ha annunciato una vera e propria "dichiarazione di indipendenza".LA COMUNITÀ LGBLa stessa comunità Lgb l'ha chiamata così, in un video messaggio diffuso online : «Oggi le persone gay, lesbiche e bisessuali hanno una nuova organizzazione globale», si può anche leggere sul social X. In realtà LGB Alliance nasce nel Regno Unito già nel 2019, nell'auspicio di «ricostruire un movimento per le persone che non aderiscono all'ideologia di genere» e allo scopo di «fornire una voce globale per rappresentare le opinioni e sostenere le persone LGB a livello globale, anche presso le agenzie delle Nazioni Unite e le istituzioni multinazionali», secondo quanto si legge sul sito ufficiale. «Sosteniamo i diritti basandoci sulla realtà del sesso biologico e dell'orientamento sessuale, senza alcuna affiliazione politica. Difendiamo la libertà di parola, difendiamo i nostri diritti e interessi e protestiamo contro politiche e pratiche discriminatorie, anche in ambito lavorativo, educativo, abitativo, sanitario, di coppia, familiare e in altri ambiti. Sottolineiamo la doppia discriminazione a cui sono sottoposte le lesbiche (in quanto donne e omosessuali)», scrive ancora la comunità Lgb. LA DIFESA DEI BAMBINI DALLA TRANSIZIONEE ancora, nel corso del breve video, alcuni attivisti si pronunciano con fermezza in difesa del binarismo sessuale e contro l'ideologia di genere: «Diventare da uomo una donna col processo di transizione non fa di te una donna». Di qui, in special modo rispetto all'assunzione di ormoni da parte dei minori con presunta disforia di genere e al processo di transizione, gli stessi denunciano esplicitamente che «i bambini devono essere protetti dai trattamenti medici di transizione». Anche relativamente agli abusi linguistici - dagli asterischi alla schwa - perpetrati dalla galassia arcobaleno in barba alle regole basilari della grammatica affermano con spirito critico: «Ne abbiamo abbastanza di pronomi». Attualmente tale comunità Lgb si è estesa negli Usa, in Canada, Brasile, Colombia, Australia, Islanda e Taiwan ed è presente anche in Spagna, Portogallo, Svezia, Irlanda, Galles, Francia, Danimarca, Finlandia, Bulgaria, Svizzera. Lungi da chi scrive voler in quanto modo avallare alcune delle istanze di cui anche il mondo Lgb si fa portavoce, come il matrimonio egualitario o l'equiparazione di "famiglie" Lgb alla famiglia naturale fondata dall'unione di un uomo e una donna, ma tale spaccatura in seno alla comunità Lgbtqi+ dimostra ancora una volta la fragilità di certe istanze, soprattutto quando sono completamente sganciate dall'ancoraggio alla realtà biologica della natura umana. Il problema, però, è quando tali desideri hanno la pretesa di diventare diritti, per cui si giunge al paradosso che alcuni gruppi e minoranze finiscano con l'esser più tutelate di altre sul piano giuridico.

Natasha is joined by Dr. Lisa Diamond and Dr. Scout on this episode of the Natasha Helfer Podcast. This is a powerful episode as, in Lisa's words: "Scout and I have witnessed the entire birth and now destruction of the field of queer and trans mental and physical health (Scout is 60, I'm 54), so we have lived through this whole weird arc of seeing lgbtq health become a legitimate profession, and now it's being threatened—it's both personally and professionally devastating for both of us to witness this happening. "It is astounding that at a time when we recently survived a global pandemic that left so many people feeling isolated in ways that has profoundly affected our mental and physical health… and at a time when we have very clear data on the risk of suicide and lessened wellbeing for the LGBTQI+ community due to societal discrimination… that the government is choosing to dismantle and destroy so many departments/entities meant to support the health, science and data collection of ALL Americans." Dr. Diamond and Dr. Scout have created a survey for anyone affected by the current administration. Please consider filling it out. "We launched the study with zero funding, it's driven by pure love and panic, and it's affecting EVERYONE who loves or works with queer or trans people, including family members, friends, social workers, physicians, school, teachers, therapist, educators, EVERYONE. All of us are going through something, and we are going through this at the same time that the federal government has CEASED all data collection on our health. So Scout and I figured "OK, you don't wanna do this? We're just gonna have to do it ourselves." Go here to fill out the survey: https://csbsutah.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9WyKRPONJuL67Yy?fbclid=IwY2xjawOEdthleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFoOW43aDJMdnNGb1kwSThZc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHkWvMqhUx7OYFY_0kbvt2yVu911j1Ch5DAnsBloLDDgUw1CHSZ3BRNwBhq3A_aem_2e27bX8Xk_kP7utbPv482g Also, if you're an organization that would like to partner with this project reach out to: research@cancer-network.com From Natasha: I loved Lisa's reminder that we survive oppression and destruction through connection. This is a small thing we can do to make a difference and that in of itself is healing and empowering. Please take the 20-25 minutes to fill out this survey. And please forward it to anyone you know who is impacted. Scout, PhD (they/he) is the Executive Director of the National LGBTQI+ Cancer Network and the principal investigator of both the CDC-funded LGBTQI+ tobacco-related cancer disparity network and Out: The National Cancer Survey. They spend much of their time providing technical assistance for tobacco and cancer focusing agencies expanding their reach and engagement with LGBTQI+ populations. Scout has a long history in health policy analysis and a particular interest in ensuring research and surveillance activities include LGBTQI+ people. They have faculty appointments at Dartmouth Cancer Center and Boston University's school of public health. They are a member of FDA's Tobacco Products Scientific Advisory Committee, on the Advisory Panel for NIH's All of Us initiative, and a former member of NIH Council of Councils as well as former Co-Chair of the NIH Sexual and Gender Minority Research Office Work Group. Their work has won them recognition from the U.S. House of Representatives, two state governments, and many city governments. Scout is an openly nonbinary and trans father of three, an avid hiker, and is currently training for the aptly named Dopey Challenge races at Disney. Lisa M. Diamond, Ph.D., is a Distinguished Professor of Psychology and Gender Studies at the University of Utah and a past president of the International Academy for Sex Research.

Canada Immigration IRCC -2025–2027 Immigration Levels Plan, released by on October 24,2025  2025–2027 Immigration Levels Plan  Each year, the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship tables the Immigration Levels Plan, a forward-looking snapshot of immigration targets for the next three years.  The plan provides permanent resident admissions targets for 2025, with notional commitments for 2026 and 2027. For the first time, we're extending our levels plan to also include targets for temporary residents, taking into account the full scope of all newcomers and helping reduce temporary resident volumes to 5% of Canada's population by the end of 2026.  Development of the levels plan  When developing the Levels Plan, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) considers  priorities and objectives for immigration, including those set out in the Immigration Refugee and Protection Act economic and regional needs international obligations and commitments processing capacity the capacity to settle, integrate and retain newcomers Throughout the year, IRCC engages with a broad range of stakeholders and partners, including provinces and territories, to help inform our plan. IRCC also conducts public opinion research through surveys and focus groups with newcomers, Canadians living in rural areas, Francophones living in communities outside of Quebec, as well as Indigenous Peoples.  Findings from these consultations and public engagement initiatives informed the Immigration Levels Plan and are published in the Levels Consultation Report.  Permanent resident targets  Permanent resident programs include economic streams, family reunification, refugees and protected persons, and humanitarian and compassionate admissions.  This year's levels plan reduces permanent resident targets starting in 2025 and forecasts decreases for the following two years, resulting in a pause in population growth in the short term to achieve well-managed, sustainable growth and economic prosperity for the long term.  The plan  represents an overall decrease of 105,000 admissions in 2025, as compared to projected 2025 levels prioritizes in-Canada applicants and pathways for those already here More than 40% of anticipated permanent resident admissions in 2025 will be from those who are already in Canada as temporary residents. Research has demonstrated that newcomers with in-Canada experience have positive long-term success. These skilled, educated newcomers can continue to support the workforce and economy, without placing additional demands on our social services. Adjustments will be made to our economic immigration streams to prioritize transitions of workers already here to permanent residents and to be responsive to labour market needs—our in-Canada focus. We will put emphasis on our federal economic priorities in programs, including the Canadian experience class and regional immigration programs, to attract workers we need, such as in health care and trades occupations. focuses on economic immigration, with approximately 62% of total permanent resident admissions that will be dedicated to the economic class, in key sectors such as health and trades, by 2027 continues to reunite families and loved ones, including spouses, children, parents and grandparents.

Anti-Turk protests in Montenegro have added to rising tensions between Serbia and Turkey. The unrest was set off by anger over Ankara's sale of weapons to Kosovo, and growing fears of Turkish influence in the Balkans. “Turks out!” shouted protesters as they marched through Podgorica, the Montenegrin capital. Several Turkish-owned businesses, among the country's largest investors, were ransacked during last month's violence. The clashes were sparked by a knife attack on a Montenegrin citizen by Turkish nationals. After the unrest, Montenegro imposed visa requirements on Turkish visitors. Some opposition parties accused Serbia of stoking the protests, pointing to rising friction between Belgrade and Ankara over the arms sale to Kosovo. “There are those accusing the Serbian region of being behind it,” Vuk Vuksanovic, of the Belgrade Centre for Security Policy, told RFI. “Although I have seen no material evidence.” Widening rift While Serbia has not commented on the accusations, it has the capacity to incite such unrest given its strong influence in Montenegro, Vuksanovic said. “The drama involving Montenegro has built up to this difficult atmosphere in Serbian-Turkish relations,” he said. Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic last month accused Turkey of trying to resurrect the Ottoman Empire through the sale of sophisticated drones to Kosovo, which broke away from Serbia in 1999. Analysts say the weapons deal could shift the balance of power in the region. “There are the kamikaze drones, which are posing a threat, and there are also strategic drones likely to be used to secure the border itself and more as a show of force,” said Zoran Ivanov, a security expert from the Institute of National History in Skopje, North Macedonia. “So it poses a direct security threat to Serbia and Serbia has to react to this.” Criminalising identity: Turkey's LGBTQI+ community under threat Changing alliances The tension marks a sharp turnaround. In recent years, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan had built a close relationship with his Serbian counterpart, and Turkish companies became major investors in Serbia. However the arms sale to Kosovo reveals a shift in Turkey's relations with Belgrade, explained international relations professor Huseyin Bagci, of Ankara's Middle East Technical University. “Turkey has more leverage than Serbia,” Bagci said. “The relations between Turkey and Serbia, we understand each other, but it is not as happy as before.” Analysts say the shift reflects Ankara's wider ambitions in the Balkans. “Ankara is trying to increase its influence and will do it,” said Bagci, adding that Turkey's historical and cultural ties to the region run deep – with millions of families tracing their roots back to the former Ottoman territories. “The Ottoman Empire was a Balkan empire. The Turkish influence is getting bigger, and of course, they don't like it. But Turkey is the big brother in the Balkans.” Turkish Cypriot vote could force shift in Erdogan's approach to divided island Turkish expansion Last month, Turkish forces took command of NATO's KFOR peacekeeping mission in Kosovo. At the same time, Turkish businesses continued expanding across the region. “They're expanding their markets; they're expanding their capabilities; they're expanding their influence,” Ivanov said. Turkey's renewed focus on the Balkans was unsurprising given historical ties, he added. “That's natural for the Turks to come to invest in the region and now looking for their old roots." However its expanding presence might feel like history repeating itself, Ivanov warned. As “a man who is coming from the Balkans,” he said, he sees “the Turks coming as they were in history” – a reminder of a past many in the region have not forgotten. The European Union has praised Ankara for supporting peacekeeping operations and economic aid in Kosovo. But analysts caution that Turkey must avoid alienating its Balkan neighbours. “Ankara also has to be mindful of its own limitations of its own Balkan ambitions," Vuksanovic. said. "Because otherwise it can push majority Christian Orthodox nations like the Serbs, Greeks and Bulgarians to work against the Turks if the Turks are perceived to be too provocative or aggressive.”

Right now, across South Africa, social media is turning purple. Profile pictures, timelines, stories, all drenched in a colour that's become a symbol of pain, power, and protest. But this isn't just a trend. It's a cry for help. It's a demand for change, because in this country, a woman is murdered every 2.5 hours. Because 117 rape cases are reported every single day and thousands more go unspoken. Because women and children are being violated in their homes, in their communities, and in their silence. The G20 Women's Shutdown, led by Women for Change, coincides with the G20 Leaders' Summit, which will be held in Johannesburg on 22 and 23 November. They are urging participants to avoid spending money for the entire day. The aim is to demonstrate the scale of the economic and social impact that women and LGBTQI+ individuals hold in their daily lives and what happens when their voices and labour are withdrawn. Additionally, as part of the shutdown, participants are being called to take part in a symbolic moment of silence at 12pm: lying down for 15 minutes to honour the 15 women who are murdered every day in this country. It's a powerful gesture meant to reflect both the scale of the tragedy and the urgency for change. Supporters of the shutdown are calling on the government to immediately declare GBV and femicide a national disaster. This, they argue, would trigger nationwide mobilisation of resources and political focus. On Friday, 21 November, women across South Africa plan to bring the country to a standstill.

International human rights groups are calling for the withdrawal of proposed legislation against Turkey's LGBTQI+ community, who warn that the law could effectively criminalise their community, which is already facing a growing legal crackdown. This week, the New York-based Human Rights Watch called on the Turkish government to drop a proposed law targeting the country's LGBTQI+ community. Amnesty International has made a similar demand. Rights groups sound the alarm The proposed legislation, which was leaked to the media, criminalises attitudes and actions deemed contrary to biological sex, carrying sentences of up to three years in prison. “It's really one of the worst reforms, or proposed reforms, we've seen in many years,” warns Emma Sinclair-Webb, Turkey director of Human Rights Watch. “Because it basically says that the government or the authorities can decide that certain behaviour and attitudes are contrary to biological sex and general morality, and are criminal on that basis.” Turkey's Pride struggling to survive amid LGBTQ+ crackdown Widespread impact Sinclair-Webb claims that with the proposed law criminalising the promotion of the LGBTQI+ community, its impact would be far-reaching. “That could affect journalists reporting on matters connected with gender, sexuality and gender identity. It could mean NGOs working to defend the rights of LGBTQI+ people from stigmatisation and discrimination.” Since the foundation of the Turkish Republic in 1923, homosexuality has never been criminalised. But LGBTQI+ rights advocates warn that this could change, given the broadly written nature of the proposed law. “It's not even same-sex sexual acts that are criminalised. It's just your appearance. Because the law says anything against biological sex. I mean, it could be very widely interpreted,” explains Öner Ceylan of Lambda a LGBTQI+ rights group in Turkey “So, this could be a woman with short hair or wearing trousers,” adds Ceylan. “Let's say I'm on the streets, I'm being myself, and I can go to jail for it for three months. Then I'm released, and what happens next? I can easily go back to jail according to that law. So it can be a perfect excuse to imprison an LGBTQI+ person.” Turkey's embattled civil society fears worst as foreign funding dries up Decade of crackdowns Under the proposed law, people could face between three months and three years in prison, opening the door to lengthy pre-trial detention and the risk of mass arrests  - a prospect that worries rights groups. Since the early 2000s, Turkey's LGBTQI+ community has become increasingly visible and vibrant, particularly in Istanbul, with gay clubs, cafés and bars. The city once hosted large Pride marches, with the 2015 event drawing over one hundred thousand people. However, for the past decade, Turkey's religiously conservative government has been cracking down on the community in the name of protecting the family. Pride marches have been banned since 2015. “Now they've banned any kind of LGBTQI+ event in the public sphere,” explains Yıldız Tar of Kaos, an LGBTQI+ group. “We no longer share public venues or their addresses. So we are already living a kind of criminalised life, as if many queer people coming together is a criminal activity, which it is not.” Tar warns that the proposed law represents the endgame in the government's campaign. “It's the result of a decade-long war against LGBTQI+ people, and if this law passes, this is the last step.” Turkey's embattled civil society fears worst as foreign funding dries up Rising rhetoric and rising In September, the Turkish Interior Ministry filed a criminal complaint against openly gay pop singer Mabel Matiz, alleging that one of his songs violated morals and obscenity laws. Meanwhile, an all-women pop group, Manifest, was detained under the country's morality laws for one of their performances, prompting the group to end their sell-out national tour. President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has been ramping up his rhetoric against the LGBTQI+ community, even equating it with terrorism. The proposed legislation also targets the country's transgender community, banning gender-affirming healthcare for those under the age of 25. The LGBTQI+ community has vowed to step up its protests against the law and has secured the support of Turkey's two main opposition parties in opposing it. But Tar warns that if the law passes, many in the community will likely flee the country -  though he says he and others are ready to resist, whatever the cost. “We will continue to do our work, to share the very basic knowledge that being LGBTQI+ is not a threat to society. It's not a threat to the family,” declares Tar. “But it will be harder, and most of us will end up in jail.”

In this conversation, Ruth Gledhill and Liz Dodd discuss the recent developments in LGBTQI inclusion within the Church, particularly focusing on the findings from a conference in Amsterdam. They explore the impact of Pope Francis on the acceptance of LGBTQI individuals in the Catholic Church and delve into the implications of Pope Leo's new document, Dilexi te. They also touch on the intersection of technology and morality, the role of women in the church, and personal reflections on how technology influences faith and community.TakeawaysThe Catholic Church in England and Wales is surprisingly inclusive for LGBTQI individuals.Grassroots movements play a crucial role in fostering inclusivity within the church.Pope Francis's language has significantly impacted the treatment of LGBTQI Catholics.Pope Leo's document, Delexi te, is seen as a powerful and radical statement.The intertwining of finance and hate speech is a growing concern.The pride flag is viewed as a symbol of identity and devotion, not just politics.Technology can enhance community support and social justice efforts.The moral implications of technology, such as AI, are complex and multifaceted.Women are increasingly taking on leadership roles within the church.Personal connections to technology can shape our understanding of morality and ethics.Sound Bites"England and Wales is among the most inclusive.""I think technology can be used for human flourishing.""If your robot vacuum cleaner unionises, great!"

Guest host Steve Hallstrom fills in for Scott Hennen, co-piloting with Kevin Flynn, covering the absurdity of the federal government shutdown as it stretches into its third week. The hosts play audio of House Speaker Mike Johnson and Citizens United President Dave Bossie, who blast Democrats for prioritizing wasteful foreign aid and special-interest spending over funding the military and border security. The hosts reveal a hidden facet of the trade war with China: a potential tariff on "used cooking oil" (gutter oil), which hurts U.S. soybean farmers. Steve then interviews Minnesota gubernatorial candidate Kendall Qualls, an Army veteran and successful businessman, who presents a common-sense, three-part plan to defeat Tim Walz and restore "normal" to Minnesota by cutting taxes, fighting crime, and fixing education.   Political Hypocrisy and the Shutdown Democrat Sabotage: The hosts and guests condemn Democrats for engaging in "performative stunts" and holding out on a clean funding bill for "pure politics". They point out that Schumer's stated goal is to "fix the health care crisis looming over the American people" , which the hosts believe is a fight solely to fund health care for illegal immigrants. Exposing Wasteful Spending: Mike Johnson and Dave Bossie list examples of the Democrats' "reckless" spending that Republicans are trying to cut, including: $24.6 million to "climate resilience in Honduras" $13.4 million for "civic engagement in Zimbabwe" $3.9 million for "LGBTQI democracy grants in the Balkans" Consequences for Americans: Farmers are unable to cash hundreds of thousands of dollars in checks because the FSA (Federal Crop Lending) offices are closed. Mike Johnson warns that the Democrats' choice is causing "real personal and economic strain" for troops, TSA, and air traffic controllers. Fetterman's Common Sense: Senator John Fetterman is praised as a reasonable Democrat for publicly stating that conservative Trump supporters are "not fascists" or trying to destroy the Constitution.   Trade, Agriculture, and China The Gutter Oil Threat: President Trump threatened to place a 100% tariff on goods, specifically "used cooking oil," coming from China. Hurting U.S. Farmers: This used cooking oil is often called "gutter oil" in China. While it is not imported for direct food use, it's used as a cheap ingredient (one-third the price of soybean oil) in biofuel production. The hosts and callers argue that banning this oil would boost demand and prices for U.S. soybeans. Bison Rankings: The NDSU Bison football team is ranked number 38 in…

It's not unusual to see Socceroo Jackson Irvine characterised as a "different character" in the football world. It might be the hipster aesthetic, his love of fashion or his passion for matters beyond the pitch. He has been an avid campaigner for LGBTQI+ rights and a leader inside his club and out. Now, with his re-election to a global players union, we ask him about speaking truth to power. He talks about the Qatar World Cup protest video, whether anything is planned for the 2026 tournament and the awkward scenario that played out at his German club, St Pauli.

The beginning of the new Supreme Court term has officially begun, and a storm of possible bad outcomes is brewing. Jessica Mason Pieklo, Co-Chief Content Officer of Rewire News Group and co-host of Boom! Lawyered, sits down with us to give us a holistic view of cases, tells us what to expect in the new court term, and highlights which cases we should be keeping an eye on in the lower courts.A collection of cases over the summer gave us a peek into the health of the Supreme Court—especially the conservative majority's willingness to facilitate the Trump administration's agenda. Coming up this term includes a challenge to Colorado's ban on conversion therapy (Chiles v. Salazar), a West Virginia ban on transgender girl's participation in sports (B.P.J. v. West Virgina Board of Education), a case on no-knock searches by law enforcement, and a redistricting case in Louisiana (Louisiana v. Callais). Cases in the lower courts that are not yet on the Supreme Court docket (but could head there soon) include challenges to state shield laws and administration attacks to mifepristone and the FDA.For more information, check out Pantsuit Politics: https://www.pantsuitpoliticsshow.com/s/podcastSupport the showFollow Us on Social: Twitter: @rePROsFightBack Instagram: @reprosfbFacebook: rePROs Fight Back Bluesky: @reprosfightback.bsky.social Buy rePROs Merch: Bonfire store Email us: jennie@reprosfightback.comRate and Review on Apple PodcastThanks for listening & keep fighting back!

Global funding cuts are worsening emergency aid's weaknesses when it comes to the LGBTQI+ community. The Trump administration is explicitly targeting trans people.

But there are steps humanitarians can take today – even amid widespread budget cuts – to better respond to the needs of LGBTQI+ people in emergencies.

Send us a textImagine visiting your gastroenterologist and feeling comfortable enough to discuss every aspect of how IBD affects your life—including your sexual health and practices. For many patients, particularly those in the LGBTQI+ community, this remains an elusive dream rather than reality.Dr. Victor Chedid, gastroenterologist and director of Mayo Clinic's Pride Clinic, joins Bowel Moments to tackle this crucial gap in IBD care. With disarming honesty and clinical expertise, he reveals why addressing sexuality isn't just about inclusivity—it's about providing complete medical care. When 95% of providers believe discussing sexual health is important but only 27% actually do it, patients suffer in silence with questions that directly impact their quality of life.The conversation dives deep into practical approaches for both patients and providers. Dr. Chedid shares his framework for discussing sexual practices with patients, from the straightforward question "What do you do for sex?" to navigating complex conversations around surgical interventions like J-pouch formation. For transgender patients, he unpacks recent research on gender-affirming hormones and IBD, emphasizing that life-saving gender-affirming care should never be withheld due to IBD concerns.Perhaps most compelling is Dr. Chedid's perspective on cultural humility and intersectionality. Each patient's experience is shaped by multiple overlapping identities—their sexuality, gender, race, nationality, and more. Rather than making assumptions, he advocates for providers to "leave their biases at the door" and approach each person's unique situation with curiosity and respect."People living with IBD are the experts of their own bodies," Dr. Chedid reminds us in his powerful closing thoughts. "When they say something feels off, it's not a guess—it's lived experience." This principle forms the foundation of truly inclusive care—care that sees patients as whole people deserving of dignity, understanding, and comprehensive treatment.Ready to advocate for more inclusive IBD care?

It can sometimes seem as though fighting for queer rights in a hostile society is an unwinnable project.  All too often, punitive laws, state violence, economic exclusion and social hostility are stacked against a community that is isolated and excluded. That's certainly true in Tunisia and other North African countries. But in this episode, queer Tunisian activist Assala Mdawkhy tells host Akwe Amosu that creating safe spaces and building a movement for LGBTQI rights should be taken as indicators of staying power and eventual success. Contact us at pod@strengthandsolidarity.orgWe are now publishing our newsletter on Substack, if you would like to subscribe: ⁠https://substack.com/@strengthsolidarity⁠

Mark & Matt are joined this week by world renowned Historian Dr. Lynette Nusbacher to discuss BENT (1997), the powerful and moving film adaptation of Martin Sherman's award- winning stage play. Now adapted for the big screen by the author himself, this inspiring tale of love over oppression has even greater power and poignancy. Set amidst the decadence of pre-war fascist Germany, Bent is an emotional tale of love, as three homosexual men fight for survival in the face of persecution. Join our listener's group The BQN Collective on Facebook.Follow the network on Instagram & Flashes @BQNPodcastsFind us on BlueSky:  The Network: @BQNpodcastsMark: @MW207Matt: @1701blerdDr. Nusbacher: @Nusbacher.bsky.socialMusic: https://freemusicarchive.org/ https://files.freemusicarchive.org/storage-freemusicarchive-org/tracks/5bYo2CCQrTvlatjormsG0jHuaNUPE6OC2aIUiXI8.mp3?download=1&name=Ketsa%20-%20Dancing-Dead.mp3  BQN Podcasts are made possible by the generous contributions of listeners like you.

From Skrmetti to Medina to Mahmoud, the Supreme Court has been busy issuing devastating rulings on cases that carry profound implications for LGBTQI+ health and rights and reproductive health and rights. Chris Geidner, author of Law Dork, sits down to talk with us about these recent cases out of the Supreme Court, and what these rulings mean for our rights and wellbeing.United States v. Skrmetti was a challenge of Tennessee's Senate Bill 1, which prohibits gender-affirming care for transgender minors. By a 6-3 ruling, the Supreme Court ultimately upheld the state's ban on gender- affirming care for transgender minors. Medina v. Planned Parenthood of South Atlantic was another case heard this term—in fact, it was a culmination of decades of attacks to Planned Parenthood and other providers, specifically targeting efforts to kick these providers out of Medicaid. In another devastating 6-3 ruling, the Supreme Court sided against reproductive health care. Mahmoud v. Taylor was a case related to LGBTQI+ inclusive textbooks in Maryland. If parents had a religious objection to anything in the curriculum, they fought to exempt their children from the lesson. By a 6-3 ruling, the Court ruled in favor of the Maryland parents. Lastly, Kennedy v. Braidwood Management Inc. upheld a key Affordable Care Act provision requiring health insurance companies to cover certain care cost-free, but also allows the secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services –Robert F. Kennedy Jr.—more autonomy to reshape the provision.For more information, check out Aborsh: https://www.aborsh.com/Support the showFollow Us on Social: Twitter: @rePROsFightBack Instagram: @reprosfbFacebook: rePROs Fight Back Bluesky: @reprosfightback.bsky.social Email us: jennie@reprosfightback.comRate and Review on Apple PodcastThanks for listening & keep fighting back!

After she died, Tim finally learned how to be himself, without fear and self-loathing.Tim grew up under the thumb of his charismatic, pious mother.He went to a school with links to the controversial, secretive and conservative Catholic organisation, Opus Dei.There, he desperately tried to hide his sexuality, and was ruthlessly bullied for his musical and stage talents.Despite Tim's success in Australian opera, television, and in Hollywood blockbusters, he continued to harbour many secrets about himself and his family.One day his mother, who loved Tim deeply in her own way, and who was dying from ovarian cancer, convinced her only son to come with her to therapy. Instead of finally being able to talk about his struggles, Tim found himself being tricked into gay conversion therapy.For the last few months of his mother's life, he went to be hypnotised by a 'Catholic psychologist' every week, until eventually she died, and Tim was set free to learn how live by and for himself.Further informationThe Truth Will Set You Free: Growing up gay in Opus Dei is published by Hachette.You can stream the Four Corners report into schools with ties to Opus Dei, which features Tim, on ABC iview.The Pared Foundation's full responses to questions from Four Corners can be read here.Opus Dei Australia provided Four Corners with this statement.Find out more about the Conversations Live National Tour on the ABC website.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris and presented by Richard Fidler.

Hoy quiero hablarte de algo que me duele profundamente como mexicana: cada año, entre 80 y 90 personas de la comunidad LGBTQI+ pierden la vida en nuestro país por crímenes de odio. No son números, son vidas que se apagan por ser auténticas.En este video reflexiono sobre las raíces profundas de esta violencia en México. Desde la época colonial hasta hoy, arrastramos siglos de machismo, misoginia y discursos religiosos que han legitimado el odio. Pero también te hablo de esperanza: de los avances legales, de la resistencia de la comunidad, de las marchas del Orgullo que son gritos de justicia.La ciencia ya desmontó los prejuicios. La homosexualidad existe en más de 1,500 especies animales. No es enfermedad, no se cura, simplemente ES.Creo firmemente que ha llegado el momento de dejar de llamarlo "homofobia" y nombrarlo por lo que realmente es: odio puro. Porque el odio es una elección, no un miedo irracional.Al final, te propongo acciones concretas para ser verdaderos aliados. Porque no basta con poner un arcoíris en junio: necesitamos ser activamente parte del cambio, educar en casa, cuestionar prejuicios y exigir justicia.La lucha por los derechos LGBT+ es una pelea por la dignidad humana de todas y todos. Un México que abraza su diversidad es un México más fuerte.Para ver episodios exclusivos, entra aquí: https://www.patreon.com/Penitencia_mx ¿Quieres ver los episodios antes que nadie?
