June is Pride Month — a time dedicated not just to parades and rainbow flags but to profound affirmation and resistance against discrimination. The skewed Christian view of pride involves a self-centered attitude, placing oneself above others. But the LGBTQ+ community is not declaring themselves above anyone else. Pride Month was born from a necessity to stand against oppression and claim a rightful place in society — not out of a desire to dominate, but a need to exist openly and safely! Let's set the record straight: It's about love, not arrogance. We talk about what Pride really is and how it's a powerful expression of love's triumph over shame. It's a celebration – not a sin!Send us a private message. *Note: INCLUDE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS if you'd like us to answer. :-) Support the show

Most mental health care for gender-identity issues is leaving patients uninformed or misled—Camille Kiefel’s eye-opening journey exposes the dangerous gaps in informed consent when it matters most. After enduring a double mastectomy based on minimal guidance, Camille’s story reveals how medical and mental health professionals often prioritize affirmation over thorough exploration, risking irreversible harm. In this powerful episode, Camille shares her personal experience with trauma, misdiagnosis, and a lack of transparency from providers who pushed her toward surgery without fully discussing the risks—including detransition and physical complications.… Continue Reading

THIS GAY WEEK: Turkey Cracks Down, Japan Opens Up — LGBTQ Rights Head in Opposite Directions THIS GAY WEEK | June 19, 2026 The fight for LGBTQ equality is taking dramatically different turns around the world. This week, Karel and Scott Jacobsen of The Good Men Project join forces live from Kyiv, Ukraine, to break down the biggest LGBTQ news stories making headlines worldwide. ⚾ Pride Night controversy is exploding in professional baseball. After high-profile clashes involving Pride celebrations, some players are drawing attention by displaying Bible verses while teams struggle to balance inclusion, religion, and fan expectations. One team made headlines by choosing LGBTQ inclusion over competition, even forfeiting a game rather than abandoning Pride Night.

Jonny and Heather offer a brief recap of their Pride on the Strip, Carbondale PrideFest experiences before moving on to other festive events that happened this weekend. One such event on the White House lawn (next to the slimy green reflecting pool!) demonstrated how our current administration has normalized misgendering as a political insult. They contemplate that moment and point out other similar instances that have occured recently. In the back half of the show, they examine some results from recent primary elections that demonstrate how the GOP still clings to queer and trans as a distraction, even though it isn't really working that well. Meanwhile, certain Democrats are demonstrating how queer and trans can be included in pragmatic and progressive policies and campaign agendas with significant advantage. They find evidence of hope in both the failures and the successes.

In a special Pride Month feature produced by Brian DeShazor, young poets from Los Angeles-based Get Lit – Words Ignite respond to the words of LGBTQ trailblazers across generations. After listening to archival recordings by James Baldwin, Audre Lorde, and Quentin Crisp, the poets James Mondares, Candi aka Vonne, and Samantha Rios created original spoken-word pieces inspired by those voices and their enduring messages. The result is a moving intergenerational conversation that connects LGBTQ history, literature, and activism with the experiences of today's emerging writers, demonstrating how the power of queer storytelling continues to inspire new generations. This week on This Way Out, NewsWrap reports on growing concerns over proposed cuts to LGBTQ+ health research and federal grant programs under a new Trump administration plan.

How do we know when God is leading us? Can the Holy Spirit still guide believers today, or are we simply meant to rely on wisdom and Scripture alone?In the final message of our Welcome Holy Spirit series, we explore one of the most practical and life-changing aspects of the Christian journey: the leading of the Holy Spirit. Through examples from the book of Acts, we discover how the Spirit guided Philip, Peter, Paul, Barnabas, and the early church—and what that means for us today.In this message you'll learn:-What it means to "keep in step with the Spirit" (Galatians 5:25)-How surrender opens the door to God's guidance-Why the Spirit's leading will always align with Scripture-The connection between prayer and spiritual discernment-Why Holy Spirit's guidance is about everyday life, not just major decisionsWhether you're facing a significant life decision or simply wanting to grow closer to God in your daily walk, this message will encourage you to cultivate a deeper awareness of the Spirit's presence and guidance.For sermon notes please visit "Sermon notes" section on the MIC website: https://www.michurch.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Welcome-Holy-Spirit-Week-6-The-Leading-of-Holy-Spirit-Notes.pdfTo support the ministry of Melbourne Inclusive Church go to: www.michurch.org.au/giveMelbourne Inclusive Church boldly and proudly proclaims Christ's equal love for all people regardless of their ability, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, age, gender, race, ethnicity, or culture.Melbourne Inclusive Church is part of the EMI Global family of churches.

My friend Becca Moore—who had a strong testimony—bravely shares the difficult road she faces as a transgender Latter-day Saint. Being transgender and living authentically has been healing and liberating for Becca—the challenge/pain is not being accepted/supported by the Church or her family. Becca (age 61, four children, 9 grandchildren, RM from South Korea Seoul West mission, grew up in Sandy UT, BYU grad, career in banking) shares the negative impact of the Church's August 2024 transgender restrictions (see https://www.sltrib.com/religion/2024/08/24/new-lds-church-policies/) causing her to feel unsafe at Church and exposing her and other transgender members to humiliation and abuse. Becca talks about being able to attend Relief Society and how that all changed with the new restrictions and other difficult experiences. It is heartbreaking to hear. We both talk about problems with far-right political ideology that has demonized transgender folks—the same heartbreaking historical pattern repeating itself with gay/lesbian folks, blacks, Native Americans, Jews, etc. We talk about Christ's teaching and gospel principles that show us how to love and support our transgender friends. We talk about the need as a church/society to live up to Elder Rasband's invitation to support our transgender friends: “Elder Ronald A. Rasband taught that people who experience transgender feelings need to be encircled in the arms of their Savior and know they are loved. So often the Lord calls on us; He expects us to be His welcoming, loving arms. We need to encourage their friends to do the same” (https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/topics/transgender/supporting) Thank you Becca for being on the podcast and sharing your honest story. Our lack of support for you is heartbreaking. I hope we can all listen to your story and then consider what we can do in our circle of influence to follow Christ's example to love and support those on the margins like our dear transgender and non-binary friends. You are super brave to share your story. You give me hope.

Stefan Lassnig spricht mit dem Wiener Psychiater und Satiriker „Blauer Elefant“ über sein satirisches Handbuch „Zum Diktator in 30 Tagen“ und die „Rezeptur“ des modernen Rechtspopulismus. Die beiden diskutieren, wie autoritäre Persönlichkeiten in Zeiten von Kontrollverlust und Dauerkrisen mit einfachen Antworten, starken Bildern und klaren Freund‑Feind‑Narrativen punkten. Ausführlich geht es um die Rolle von Social Media, Boulevard und parteinahen Paramedien, deren Algorithmen und Mechanismen (Verknappung, Emotionalisierung, Polarisierung) rechtspopulistischen Akteuren enorme Reichweiten ermöglichen. „Blauer Elefant“ erklärt, warum Nationalismus, Personenkult und die Konstruktion von Feindbildern – vom „Schrödingers Ausländer“ bis zur „Lügenpresse“ – Kernbestandteile dieses Playbooks sind. Zum Abschluss wird die Frage gestellt, warum etablierte Parteien Emotionen wie Angst, Wut und Ohnmacht zu wenig adressieren und damit jenen das Feld überlassen, die mit einfachen Erzählungen komplexe Probleme ausnutzen.

400+ Anti-LGBTQ Bills: Why Pride Matters More Than Ever | This Gay Week As Pride Month begins, LGBTQ people around the world are asking the same question: Are things getting better—or getting worse? This week on This Gay Week, Karel welcomes Scott Jacobsen of The Good Men Project for a wide-ranging conversation on the most important LGBTQ stories making headlines across the globe. Topics include:

Deze week in The Trueman Show: Caroline Franssen   Caroline Franssen is coach, opleider en actief in het debat rondom vrouwenrechten, genderbeleid en transgenderzorg. De afgelopen jaren kwam ze regelmatig in het nieuws door haar kritiek op de manier waarop Nederland omgaat met genderidentiteit, medische transitie en de positie van vrouwen binnen dit debat.   In deze aflevering vertelt Caroline hoe haar activisme begon bij het Meldpunt Tantra Misbruik, waar zij aandacht vroeg voor vrouwen die volgens haar tussen wal en schip vielen. Die ervaring bracht haar voor het eerst in aanraking met de weerstand die ontstaat wanneer je gevoelige onderwerpen bespreekbaar maakt.   Vanuit die ervaring komen we uit bij het onderwerp waar Caroline zich tegenwoordig voornamelijk mee bezighoudt: de impact van het huidige genderbeleid op vrouwen en jongeren. Ze deelt haar visie op transgenderzorg, puberteitsremmers, medische trajecten voor minderjarigen en de maatschappelijke veranderingen die volgens haar de afgelopen jaren hebben plaatsgevonden.   Ook spreken we over vrijheid van meningsuiting, activisme, media, politieke besluitvorming en de persoonlijke gevolgen van het innemen van een controversieel standpunt. Caroline vertelt openhartig over de kritiek, bedreigingen en weerstand die zij naar eigen zeggen heeft ervaren vanwege haar publieke uitspraken.   In deze podcast: Het Meldpunt Tantra Misbruik Vrouwenrechten en het genderdebat Puberteitsremmers en transgenderzorg voor jongeren Wetgeving rondom gender en geslachtsregistratie Media, activisme en publieke beeldvorming Genderidentiteit en sociale beïnvloeding Vrouwensport, vrouwengevangenissen en vrouwenruimtes De persoonlijke prijs van een afwijkend standpunt Vrijheid van meningsuiting en maatschappelijk debat   Word Member en bekijk Uncensored op That's The Spirit: https://thatsthespirit.nu/in   Volg ons op: Instagram: / thetruemanshowpodcast Facebook: / thetruemanshowpodcast Telegram: https://t.me/s/jornluka?before=217 X: / TruemanshowNL   Wekelijks op de hoogte blijven van alle afleveringen, updates, boekentips en de blogs van onze gasten?
