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:

Former Massachusetts Congressman Barney Frank has died at 86. Frank became one of the nation's most visible liberal lawmakers, helped reshape Wall Street after the 2008 financial crisis and made history as the first sitting member of Congress to voluntarily come out as gay.

Nevena and Paul talk to Joe Ball – Victorian Commissioner for LGBTIQA+ Communities, Update on IDAHOBIT Weekend May 17 marks the date in 1990 that homosexuality was removed from the WHO Classification of Diseases. Over three decades later, LGBTQIA+ communities still face discrimination – but every one of us can make a difference. Will you stand against discrimination? A worldwide celebration of gender and sexual diversities and a call to stand in solidarity with the LGBTQIA+ community to fight discrimination. The first Mardi Gras pride march was held in Sydney in 1978, which was met with violence from police. Those who marched were beaten inside police cells and had their names published by the Sydney Morning Herald. Tasmania was the last jurisdiction in Australia to decriminalise homosexuality in May 1997. The majority of Australians today were alive during a time when it was illegal to be gay. The Marriage Equality plebiscite was held in 2017. While marriage equality was passed, 38.4% of Australians who voted (4.8 million people) voted against it. The first IDAHOBIT was held in 2005 and is today acknowledged by millions of people globally. While IDAHOBIT has evolved over these years, the purpose remains the same – celebrate the progress we have made while also raising awareness for the discrimination that LGBTQIA+ people still face today. Joe Ball was appointed as Commissioner for LGBTIQA+ Communities on 23 September 2024 for a three-year term. Commissioner Ball (he/him) is a proud transgender man. He is a longstanding LGBTIQA+ advocate with a 25-year career in disability, housing and homelessness, and social services. Commissioner Ball is a member of the Expert Advisory Group for the Federal Government's 10-Year LGBTIQ+ Health and Wellbeing Plan. He has previously participated in several leading social service advisory committees and boards. This includes the Victorian Family Violence peak body Safe and Equal, the Community Advisory Committee for 1800RESPECT, the Victorian LGBTIQA+ Taskforce, the Victorian Family Violence Reform Advisory Group, and the National Suicide Prevention Governance Committee. Joe was previously CEO of Switchboard Victoria for eight years, where he led the establishment of Rainbow Door, the statewide LGBTIQA+ family violence and mental health helpline. Throughout his expansive career, Joe has drawn upon the strength and guidance of LGBTIQA+ history and most importantly, the work of activists who have paved the way, the courageous voices with lived experience and the wisdom of LGBTIQA+ elders. In 2020, Joe was honoured as an award recipient in the 50 Outstanding LGBTI+ Leaders in Australia. The post Sat, 16th May, 2026: Joe Ball – Victorian Commissioner for LGBTIQA+ Communities, Update on IDAHOBIT Weekend appeared first on Saturday Magazine.

In episode 177, we sit down with Liz Schmidt, the Executive Committee Co-Chair of Ohio Equal Rights, to talk about the campaign to amend Ohio's constitution and make it the strongest equal rights framework in the nation.Ohio's constitution offers no equal rights protections for residents. There are no protections from government discrimination based on race, sex, sexual orientation, disability, or other attributes. Marriage equality rests only on federal guarantees that could be reversed. Ohio Equal Rights is pursuing two citizen-led ballot amendments to change that, the Ohio Equal Rights Amendment and The Ohio Right to Marry Amendment, potentially making Ohio home to the most comprehensive state equal rights framework in the nation.

You just had a baby. You've got a million things running through your mind. But there's one thing you have to do right away: feed your baby. No matter how much you planned, it can feel stressful and overwhelming. That's where StrollerCoaster comes in, with a special three-part series devoted to feeding. In our first episode we start at the very beginning: Formula? Breastmilk? Both? While breastmilk is often recognized as the gold standard, we know every family's journey is different - and we're here to explore and support all feeding choices. We're joined by Dr. Christie del Castillo-Hegyi, an emergency physician, infant feeding expert, and co-founder of the “Fed Is Best” Foundation who shares evidence-based insights on newborn nutrition, the risks of insufficient feeding, and why flexibility and informed choice are critical for families. Then, in our Parenting Story of the Day, Nona Willis Aronowitz, author of a New York Times opinion piece titled “The Secret to Marriage Equality is Formula,” explains how feeding choices can impact not just your baby, but your relationship with your partner as well. Dr. Christie del Castillo-Hegyi / FB / IG / YT / In   Dr. Christie del Castillo-Hegyi is a board-certified emergency physician, infant feeding researcher, and Co-Founder of The Fed is Best Foundation which advocates for safe, informed newborn nutrition. After her own child experienced complications from insufficient breastfeeding, she dedicated her work to studying feeding-related risks such as jaundice, dehydration, and hypoglycemia. She is a member of the Global Development Disability Research Collaborators and co-author of Fed Is Best: The Unintended Harms of the "Breast Is Best" Message and How to Find the Right Approach for You and Your Baby, which promotes a balanced, judgment-free, and evidence-based approach to feeding. Nona Willis Aronowitz IG / X Nona Willis Aronowitz is an author, editor, and speaker whose work explores gender, culture, and modern relationships.

"8" A PLAY ABOUT THE BATTLE FOR MARRIAGE EQUALITY (RATED PG-13) A co-production of 63audio and LEAP Audio. This is the story of two gay couples and their fight to challenge the constitutionality of California's Proposition 8, which went into effect in the first decade of the 21st century, predating "Obergefell". Prop. 8 essentially made it illegal for same-sex couples to marry. Fashioned from actual dialog, TV political ads and court transcripts, "8" is a moving, gripping drama that you must share with your family and friends.  Written by the author of the hit TV miniseries, "When We Rise", Dustin Lance Black.  Featured in the cast were: Austin Beach (of Audioblivious Prod.) as Charles Cooper Bob Caro as Evan Wolfson Shannon Grace as Maggie Gallagher Christian Ferris as David Blankenhorn MJ Cogburn as Dr Cott Jeremy Hennessy (of Audioblivious Prod.) as Dr. Gregory Herek Michael Cogburn as Elliot Perry Mason Cogburn as Spencer Perry John Washington as Dr. Tam Keane Lutz as Ryan Kendall Kristy Glick as Sandy Stier Melody Gaines as Kris Perry Kyle Bauer as Dr. Ilan Meyer Maurice Curran as Jeff Zarillo Omar Lopez as Paul Katami Lisa Marie Ayala as the Court Clerk Victoria Fancki as the Journalist And special Guest stars: Pete Lutz as Judge Vaughn Walker Jack Ward (of Electric Vicuna Prod.) as David Boies Timm Gillick as Dr. Gary Segura Mark Bruzee as Theodore Olson and Nick Wommack as the Narrator

Have you wondered which traditions you should keep, ditch, or remix when you're not a hetero-normative pair tying the knot?Jesse from New York reached DMd me on Instagram, asking for some tips on his same-sex destination wedding in Provincetown, Massachusetts.While this episode is tailored to Jesse's questions, which include dilemmas around mixed gender bridal party titles, suggestions for outfits and styling, pitching the trip to his future in-law's family (who are questioning the need, and expense, and why P-town feels more exciting, welcoming, and safe than NYC for the grooms), alternative traditions, and photo list suggestions. I know many hetero couples face the same family pushback when they dare to dream beyond the standard expectations or the usual local wedding celebration. It's a tricky line to walk and there's tough conversations to be had, but also real excitement and creativity about what's possible, and how Jesse and his soon-to be-husband, Justin, can make their day their own. RESOURCES Ep 3: Tim & Simon - How to adapt hetero wedding traditions as a same-sex couple: https://open.spotify.com/episode/54FA4UyVJ4ViWimfqjP6r7Ep169: 169: What a Love Party Really Is (And How to Plan One You'll Actually Enjoy) with Amy Shack Egan: https://open.spotify.com/episode/7b5eLPHpvAPVDth5zhygGYLauren Ashley Grenda: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DOSMp68jkA1/?igsh=MXJ5N2FudHRieW84aQ==BCaptured by Ky Luu: https://www.instagram.com/p/DSHwYwbEqo7/?img_index=12&igsh=djdid21uZnViem9vhttps://www.instagram.com/reel/DDMX4vapMP_/?igsh=MTQyaHJobGl3OHBrMg==Send Unbridely a 90-second audio message on Speakpipe: https://www.speakpipe.com/unbridelypodcast*The Unbridely Podcast is sponsored by its listeners.

Chad Law Exposes the Truth: Marriage Equality, Trump's Tariffs & The Scammy GrammysIn this episode, Chad Law, America's self-proclaimed 'binary brother' and 'gayest conservative,' dives deep into today's pressing topics. He tackles the divisive issue of marriage equality, condemning religious groups attempting to reverse it under a guise of conservatism, arguing instead for a conservatism rooted in freedom and limiting government influence. Chad also delves into the recently released Epstein files, claiming they expose more about elitism and Democratic figures than about Trump. Finally, he scrutinizes Hollywood's desperation for relevance, branding the recent Grammys as the 'Scammys,' pointing out that celebrity politics are more about staying in the spotlight than genuine activism.

Jonny welcomes Heather back to the show, although there is still snow on the roads and the cold is only now slowly loosening its grip. They vortex out from Southern Illinois, discussing new assaults on LGBTQ+ rights, beyound ICE protests or the Epstein Files. In the back half of the show, they look to entertainment, significant political wins, and polling from a surprising source that this assault on human rights and turn to authoritarianism are encountering serious resistance. Throughout the show, they shout-out to the "Puzzle and Podcast" weekly event being hosted by the Paulette Curkin Pride Resource Center on the SIU Campus. 

A viral encounter with a bronze sculpture put our host, Madison Beale, in touch with the incomparable interdisciplinary artist Patricia Cronin this year. Today on the Artalogue, Beale sits down down with Cronin to discuss her career trajectory from humble beginnings to a global art world presence as multidisciplinary feminist artist behind Memorial to a Marriage and Shrine for Girls to unpack how a work of art can carry both intimacy and insurgency.Patricia traces her path from a Catholic childhood through the 1990s culture wars, with erotic Polaroids interrogating power, authorship and voyeurism. That same insistence on lived perspective inspired later works, like the three-ton neoclassical embrace installed on her own burial plot to answer legal and physical absence in public space, and three quiet altars in Venice layered with fabrics that invite viewers to better understand how the patriarchy harms us all. Beale and Cronin also face the present head-on: executive orders scaring museum programs into deplatforming artists, show cancellations rippling through the arts in the United States, and the subtler danger of self-censorship in the studio. Cronin shares a clear path for resisting authoritarianism, matching skills to message and building communities that outlast regimes. Patricia Cronin is an interdisciplinary feminist artist that examines issues of gender, sexuality, and social justice. Major bodies of work focus on the international human rights of LGBTQ+ persons, women, and girls, including “Memorial To A Marriage”, the world's first Marriage Equality monument. Cronin's work has been exhibited internationally, with solo exhibitions at institutions including the Tampa Museum of Art, The FLAG Art Foundation, the 56th Venice Biennale, the Brooklyn Museum, and the American Academy in Rome. She has also participated in significant group exhibitions around the world and received  various prestigious awards and fellowships. Cronin's works is collected by numerous museums, including Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, Leslie-Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art, National Gallery of Art, Perez Art Museum Miami, Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery, Tampa Museum of Art, and Woodlawn Cemetery. She lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.If this conversation moves you, follow the show, share it with a friend who loves art and justice, and leave a review with the artwork that changed your life.

Jonny is fresh back from the annual winter retreat of Gay Spirit Visions' winter gathering where the theme was protecting our joy while we live through a dumpster fire. Heather helps him unpack the necessity to be aware of the dumpster fire even as we choose to put our energies elsewhere. They review several of the last week's turns in the news that build the flames even as Minnesota learns to use ice against ICE. In the back half of the show they turn to a disturbing trend in declining support for LGBTQ+ rights, including marriage equality, even among younger members of the population. They explore various factors that might have caused it and recent trends in popular culture that give them hope declining support is more of a temporary dip than the edge of a cliff.

It's been a wild week in American politics.The Supreme Court declined to overturn marriage equality, leaving Kim Davis (the Kentucky clerk who refused to issue marriage licenses to gay couples) stuck with a $360,000 bill and zero sympathy. Meanwhile, after 43 days of chaos, the government shutdown is finally ending, but Democrats caved without securing protections for the 20+ million Americans about to lose their health insurance subsidies. And just when you thought it couldn't get messier, new Epstein emails dropped, directly contradicting Trump's claims about his relationship with the convicted sex trafficker.Robinbreaks down all three stories: Why Kim Davis is still the worst person from 2015, what the new Epstein emails reveal about Trump's knowledge of "the girls," and how Chuck Schumer managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory on healthcare.It's a mixed bag of news: one win, several losses, and a whole lot of political dysfunction.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-saw-the-devil-a-true-crime-podcast--4433638/support.Website: http://www.wesawthedevil.comPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/wesawthedevilDiscord: https://discord.gg/X2qYXdB4Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/WeSawtheDevilInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/wesawthedevilpodcast.

Sometimes life forces you to hit the pause button. Not because you wanted to, but because your body says, “sit down honey, we've got work to do.”After nearly two decades of podcasting, we thought we'd seen it all, until this summer, when I had emergency eye surgery to save my vision, and Marc had his heart shocked back into rhythm after a scary bout of atrial fibrillation.Between the two of us, we had enough hospital bracelets to start our own line of jewelry. But through all of it, we learned a few things: about getting older, facing fear, and finding humor when life gets dizzy or blurry.On today's show, we're sharing what really happened, what we learned about resilience and love, and how to keep your sense of humor when the road gets bumpy. It's our comeback episode: I Almost Went Blind, a story about healing, gratitude, and seeing life in a whole new light.

In the front half of the show, Jonny interviews Junara, Grace, M, and Shelby--the director and some of the devising cast from "At a Crossroads," a performance in the Kleinau Theatre opening this Thursday. They discuss the crossroads metaphor and how the show leans into LGBTQ+ themes. In the back half of the show, Jonny and Heather discuss the crossroads we are currently at, following last week's off-term elections, SCOTUS decisions, and the apparent possible ending of the government shutdown. They also pause to celebrate Veterans Day, noting that LGBTQ+ people have always served in the military and always will. See our Facebook and Webpage for a link to a schedule of events for Trans Aawreness Week leading up to the Trans Day of Remembrance.

During the current session of the U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS), the justices may hear a case that could overturn Obergefell v. Hodges (2015), the landmark ruling that legalized same-sex marriage. If SCOTUS agrees to hear the case, it will re-surface the question of whether marriage equality should remain federally protected. Additionally, multiple states are engaged in a political strategy to fully challenge, or at least narrow, marriage equality in the United States. Understandably, these efforts pose serious concerns for same-sex couples and their allies.  Join Jeffrey Bellomo as he offers his thoughts on the likelihood that SCOTUS will hear the case (i.e., grant certiorari or grant cert), why a sweeping reversal of Obergefell v. Hodges (2015) is doubtful, what a narrow religious carve-out might look like, and how today's federal laws protect same-sex married couples. You'll also learn why it's important to “get your documents in order” to secure legal protections for your family, regardless of SCOTUS intervention.

They also share how both partners can rebuild equality, mutual respect, and healthy polarity — without falling into people-pleasing or silent frustration.

We look at the latest legal battles facing the administration, including the ongoing fight over immigration, a new Supreme Court challenge to same-sex marriage, and whether the courts are the last line of defence in a deeply divided country.

Ansley is back in the driver's seat of the Boredwalk Podcast, and she is FIRED UP about MAGA's latest assaults on civil liberties — particularly long-forgotten serially divorced sister-wife Kim Davis's return to the national spotlight to resume her bigoted crusade to overturn the U.S. Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling that legalized same-sex marriage at the federal level. Ugh, give it up, you pathetic hose beast! Take your deviled eggs of hate back to your tacky double-wide hovel, stop being so obsessed with what other people do in their private lives, and do something constructive with your life! Maybe start with addressing your tragic wardrobe choices and regrettable hair situation. This leads into a discussion of Donald Trump's continued efforts to end free and fair elections and representative democracy more broadly in the U.S. as he races to complete Project 2025 and uses the National Guard and domestic militarization for his personal political vendettas. If you're concerned about U.S. politics and voting rights, you won't want to miss this episode full of Donald Trump news. We also discuss attacks on birth control, reproductive rights, and more! Moving on, we check in with the latest dispatch from Troll-sylvania, where we get to disabuse fragile men in the comments of the notion that misandry is a thing that exists (it does not). Astute listeners / viewers will note that the above sentence is unchanged from LAST week's episode description. That is because these soft little snowflakes cry about the same thing CONSTANTLY every freakin' week in our comments. At least be original with your whining, you pathetic red pill regressives! This is followed by a nice palate cleanser in the form of a glowing 5-star review for our newly-released Sinister Affirmations card deck, and then our hosts wrap up the episode by trading answers to questions pulled from our Delve Deck conversation card sets. This week we answer the questions "what is your least favorite home decor trend?", "what first made you realize you were getting old?", and "what's your favorite smell?" Thanks for stopping by to hang out, commiserate, and (hopefully) laugh with us!

In this episode of Passing Judgment, Jessica breaks down three major legal developments: the Supreme Court allowing Mississippi's age verification law for social media to take effect while litigation continues, a renewed but unlikely push to overturn the Court's marriage equality decision in Obergefell, and a federal court ruling enabling potential mass firings at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Jessica explains what these cases mean for our rights and daily lives, highlighting the ongoing balance between state power, individual liberties, and consumer protection.Here are three key takeaways you don't want to miss:Supreme Court and Mississippi's Social Media Age Verification Law: The episode opens with a discussion of the Supreme Court's decision to allow Mississippi's new law requiring age verification for children on social media to take effect while legal battles continue. The law mandates social media companies verify users' ages and get parental consent for kids under 18. Supporters claim it protects children from online harms, while critics argue it's vague, intrusive, and may violate the First Amendment.Renewed Push to Overturn Marriage Equality (Obergefell v. Hodges): There's renewed legal activity aimed at overturning the Supreme Court's 2015 decision in Obergefell v. Hodges, which legalized same-sex marriage nationwide. The case gained attention due to Kim Davis, a former Kentucky clerk who refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, now asking the Supreme Court to revisit the ruling.Trump Administration and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB): The final major story discusses a recent court decision paving the way for the Trump administration to pursue mass firings at the CFPB—a federal agency created after the 2008 financial crisis to protect consumers.

It's time to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the Marriage Equality Act!

The Supreme Court ruled in favor of same sex marriages and that same sex marriages will be recognized nationwide.  In this bonus episode, Tammy and Kim share their experiences and growing concerns in this current political climate.  They walk us through how their lives have changed and how much work there still needs to be done.

Just as we're hitting the 10th Anniversary of Federal Marriage Equality in the US, Dennis is joined via Zoom by Frankie Frankeny, the driving creative force behind the gorgeous and comprehensive new coffee table book Love: The Heroic Stories of Marriage Equality. Frankie recalls how she first became passionate about the cause of marriage equality decades ago, doing entensive research for the book and discovering stories she never knew before and her hope that the book will be available in schools so queer kids can learn their history in a way that her generation never did. She also talks about contributing her own photos to the book and her hopes that, aesthetically speaking, the book will be something two lesbians in Tennessee or the chic designer Tom Ford would be proud to put on their coffee table.

John Arthur's vows to Jim Obergefell came during a unique wedding ceremony that changed the course of American history. It was 2013 and at the time, Arthur was dying of ALS. Due to the generosity of friends and family the couple were able to exchange vows from within a medical plane parked in Maryland, where gay marriage was legal. Obergefell and Arthur's fight to get their marriage recognized by their home state of Ohio went all the way to the Supreme Court, ultimately paving the way for nationwide marriage equality for same-sex couples 10 years ago. John, tragically, passed before the ruling, but the couple's story endures as a milestone for the LGBTQ+ community. Jim Obergefell joins The Excerpt to share more about his historic journey.Let us know what you think of this episode by sending an email to podcasts@usatoday.com.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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)
