It's been 10 years since Ireland made history by becoming the first country to legalise same-sex marriage through a public vote. While other countries had legalised it, it was the first time a referendum had been held. We hear from wedding planners, photographers and venues about how things have changed for them since the 2015 referendum. As the overall number of marriages in Ireland decreases, the number of same-sex marriages is still increasing. We hear from same-sex couples who are now seen as prospective clients for this sector.Produced and presented by Leanna Byrne(Image: Alan Hatton and Darren Lawlor)

It is ten years since the country voted to legalise same-sex marriage. This victory for progressive politics was followed by another when abortion rights were won in 2018. But what is sometimes called "the progressive agenda" has since had setbacks, including last year's defeated referendums on family and care. So how relevant is progressivism to Irish politics now, and where does it go next? Labour leader Ivana Bacik, columnist Gerard Howlin and political editor Pat Leahy join Hugh to look back at the 2015 referendum campaign and assess its legacy. Hosted on Acast.

In this emergency episode of Everyday Black Men, the hosts dive headfirst into the controversy surrounding Shannon Sharpe, with Riker joking that they're now "Spanish" due to the secondhand embarrassment from his recent actions. White Collar Suge delivers a hilarious impression of Shannon, setting the tone for a wide-ranging and unfiltered discussion. Sham unleashes his frustration with the Democratic Party—especially after the infamous Kente cloth moment—while also slipping in a classic bar story for context. Stylish critiques the Democrats for being too ideologically pure, potentially alienating everyday voters, and Reed drops a bold take questioning whether the marriage equality bill would even pass today, a comment that sparks spirited debate. The episode closes out with Sham reflecting on life without burglar bars, Suge imagining what it's like to safely talk back to the police, and plenty more hot takes before the conversation ends.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/everyday-black-men--2988631/support.

 This Michigan lawmaker wants to 'Make Gay Marriage Illegal Again'Raw Story, By David Badash, The New Civil Rights Movement, on December 3, 2024https://www.rawstory.com/this-michigan-lawmaker-wants-to-make-gay-marriage-illegal-again/Josh Schriver, a Michigan state representative, is advocating for a regressive agenda by attempting to outlaw same-sex marriage in the state. Claiming to be Michigan's "most conservative" representative, his efforts reflect a performative stance rather than a genuine political strategy, as even his own staff resigned en masse following his controversial proposals. Public backlash aligns with national statistics showing 69% of Americans opposing such a ban, highlighting Schriver's miscalculation of societal and political support. His rhetoric extends beyond marriage equality, targeting transgender rights, reproductive health, and gender-affirming care, all under the guise of personal moral convictions often rooted in conservative religious beliefs. The discussion highlighted how personal beliefs, particularly religious ones, can dangerously influence political decisions. Cindy argued that such stances stem from a combination of entitlement and a superiority complex, as politicians like Schriver actively seek to revoke rights already established for over a decade. She also emphasized the broader consequences of normalized bigotry, drawing parallels to the aftermath of Trump's election in 2016, which emboldened similar hate-filled rhetoric. AJ expanded on this, stressing that religious dogma must remain separate from public service, as imposing these beliefs erodes individual freedoms. Yet, Rob countered that while such compartmentalization is ideal, it's often unrealistic given how deeply religious convictions shape moral worldviews. He proposed that societal education and early prevention are critical to avoiding these regressive ideologies in governance. The panel concluded by discussing the alarming potential for these backward policies to erode societal norms and legal rights. Schriver's actions represent a broader, dangerous trend of using fear and hatred against marginalized groups as a political tool, exacerbating divisions and rolling back decades of progress.The Non-Prophets, Episode 23.50.2 featuring Infidel 64, Cindy Plaza, AJ and RobBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-non-prophets--3254964/support.

Greg interviews our senior legal correspondent Dave Lawrence on the status of marriage equality in Thailand. Listeners may remember that the Thai parliament passed a same-sex marriage bill last year, and it has jumped through a few more hoops and is ALMOST in effect. Dave explains that on January 22, 2025, should be the magic date when marriage between two adults of either gender should be 100% legal and legit.  The guys run through a bunch of different topics, ranging from the history of marriage in Thailand to immigration and nationality, divorce, adoption and IVF. Perhaps not surprisingly, a change such as allowing adults of the same gender to get married has ramifications in many other areas of the law, all details that need to be ironed out in the coming months and years.  Greg and Dave conclude by noting the historic significance of this change in the law in Thailand as Asia in general is considered conservative when it comes to gender and sexuality. There is something unique about Thai culture however that allows it to be more progressive in at least some respects.  Don't forget that Patrons get the ad-free version of the show as well as swag and other perks.

Moral Panic: Fact-Checking the War on Trans Kids

Convicted felon Donald Trump relies on a well-worn GOP playbook to scare their voters to the polls: stir up moral panic over LGBTQ people. Moms for Liberty—well-funded by shadowy right-wing interests—are out there banning books and promoting anti-trans, anti-gay laws straight from Viktor Orban's Hungary and Putin's Russia. We might inadvertently feed into their culture war hysteria if we don't step back and see how their disinformation machine works. As Erin Reed points out in her essential guide to our times “Erin in the Morning,” trans care is under attack in half of the country. Meanwhile, the far right stirs up fear, demonizing trans people, especially trans children and their families, just like Karl Rove did with gay marriage in 2004, to secure a second term for war criminal George W. Bush. But trans people have always existed. They're part of human history, brutally erased by colonial powers, according to a must-read report from ABC News in our show notes below.  So, what's the antidote to the far-right's moral panic? Call it out for what it is. Protect trans kids. Push back against oligarchs. Remember, this is about basic human rights. As highlighted in Abi Maxwell's poignant memoir One Day I'll Grow Up and Be a Beautiful Woman: A Mother's Story, love and dignity for trans children are crucial to building safer, more compassionate communities for everyone. Maxwell's story focuses on her daughter, Greta, a courageous little girl who, from a very young age, understood she was a girl, even though she was born a boy. The confusion wasn't Greta's—it was the adults around her, including teachers and parents in their small New Hampshire town, who struggled to accept her identity. Maxwell recounts their family's painful journey through relentless bullying and institutional barriers, a journey that mirrors the challenges faced by countless other trans families in America today. Maxwell's memoir isn't just a heart-wrenching tale of a mother fighting for her child; it's also a stark reminder of how disinformation and fearmongering, often driven by far-right extremists, are weaponized to divide us. As we've seen with the rise of groups like Moms for Liberty, the attacks on LGBTQ+ rights—particularly against trans children—are often orchestrated by powerful interests looking to distract and manipulate voters. In our interview with Maxwell, she sheds light on the far-right's disinformation playbook and shares insights on how we can rise above it. It's time to move beyond the hate and fear and build a society that values love, acceptance, and the dignity of all people, no matter their gender identity.
