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. We also mark the tenth anniversary of the Pulse nightclub massacre in Orlando, follow protests by transgender rights activists in the United Kingdom over new public-facility restrictions, report on a neo-Nazi disruption of Pride events in Athens, Georgia, and celebrate Broadway history as Qween Jean becomes the first openly transgender Tony Award winner. Featured speakers: Zohran Mamdani, Bruce Villanch, Brian Sonia-Wallace, James Baldwin, James Mondares, Audre Lorde, Candi aka Vonne, Quentin Crisp Samantha Rios Credits: Associate Producer/Lucia Chappelle, Producer/Host Brian DeShazor, News writer Jeb Backe, feature producer Brian DeShazor, NewsWrap reporters, Joe Boehnlein and Melanie Keller, music by Raye and Kim Wilson.

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?

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:

In Week 4 of our Welcome Holy Spirit series, we explore the Fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5 and discover that the greatest evidence of the Holy Spirit's work is not hype, performance, or outward religion — it's transformed character of Love. Joy. Peace. Patience. Kindness. Goodness. Faithfulness. Gentleness. Self-controlThese are not qualities we manufacture through willpower. They are the supernatural fruit produced in us as we remain connected to Christ and walk in step with the Holy Spirit.In this message we unpack:• Why Paul says “fruit” and not “fruits”• The difference between the works of the flesh and the fruit of the Spirit• What each of the nine qualities means in everyday life• Why spiritual growth takes time• How abiding in Christ changes us from the inside outWhether you feel spiritually stuck, exhausted from trying harder, or hungry for deeper transformation, this message is an invitation to draw close to Jesus again and trust the Holy Spirit with the process of growth.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-4-The-Fruit-of-the-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.

God's Word has something to say about everything happening in the world around you. The border. Transgender issues. The war in Iran. The legalization of marijuana. Every issue, every headline, every opinion. So why are so many Christians forming their perspectives without it? This week, host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow, wingman Christy Mendelow, and guest Jeff Egli take on politics—but not the way you might expect. This is not Republican versus Democrat. This is about what it actually looks like to bring your faith into the most contested conversations of our day. Real stories from the news, held up to the standard of Scripture, and examined for what they actually reveal about how Christians are called to think, act, and respond. Colorado warned California. California didn't listen. The results were predictable. The Bible saw it coming. Tune in and find out what Scripture says about the issues shaping our world.

We learn why one Texas company earned one of those contracts and a Houston-based one did not.Also this hour: On the heels of Tuesday's runoff election and as we look ahead to November, we break down how Supreme Court decisions of recent years have gutted the Voting Rights Act, and how, paired with ensuing redistricting, representation is changing in Houston and across The South.Then, we learned this month that an unusual settlement over child transgender care was reached, which calls on Texas Children's Hospital in Houston to establish the country's first-ever “detransition clinic.” We discuss the practical and legal questions that settlement raises with Shelby Chestnut, executive director of the Transgender Law Center.And technology is changing the way music is made. Some of it is for the better. Some of it...not so much. We talk it over with some creators.Watch

Was Barney Frank a political hero, a lightning rod—or both? Following the death of the trailblazing gay former Congressmember on May 19, Lucia Chappelle explores the triumphs, tensions, and contradictions behind one of the most influential and debated LGBTQ political figures in U.S. history. Included are recollections from Andy Humm, Ann Northrop of GayUSA and journalist Karen Ocamb (Substack: LGBTQ+ Freedom Fighters). Archive audio from This Way Out archives. And in a Rainbow Rewind, Sir Ian McKellen reflects on coming out. This week's NewsWrap on This Way Out reports on a rise in drug-resistant Shigella infections disproportionately affecting queer men, as health experts urge prevention without stigma. Missouri LGBTQ+ advocates celebrate the defeat of dozens of anti-queer bills during the state's legislative session, while activists worldwide mark IDAHOBIT amid both ongoing criminalization and notable legal victories for LGBTQ+ people. In the U.S., a federal judge temporarily blocks the transfer of transgender women to men's prisons, and the House advances a controversial “Don't Say Trans” bill targeting transgender students and schools. We also close with a milestone from Leeds, where newly installed Lord Mayor Stephen Holroyd and his partner Simon Mapals make local LGBTQ+ history.

It's Wednesday, May 20th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Nigerian Muslims killed 13 Christians including three pregnant mothers Morning Star News reports that Muslim Fulani herdsmen killed 13 Christians in central Nigeria on May 8.  Unbelievably, the gunmen killed three pregnant women. They also injured dozens of Christians and displaced hundreds more. Such attacks are common in Nigeria's Plateau State. A leader at Evangelical Church Winning All commented on the recent killings of Christians. He said, “They were martyrs whose lives were claimed by the ongoing genocide against Christians in Nigeria. They died exactly where they chose to stand in the line of duty, lamps burning, voices lifted, refusing to abandon the post God had given them.” In Revelation 2:10-11, Jesus said, “Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life. … He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death.” Top ISIS leader killed in northeast Nigeria U.S. and Nigerian forces killed a top ISIS leader in northeastern Nigeria over the weekend. Abu-Bilal al-Minuki was the second-in-command of the Islamic State. The terrorist planned many attacks and hostage events, especially attacks on Christians. On Truth Social, U.S. President Donald Trump wrote, “He will no longer terrorize the people of Africa, or help plan operations to target Americans. With his removal, ISIS's global operation is greatly diminished.” Texas Children's Hospital ended transgender surgeries last week In the United States, Texas Children's Hospital agreed to end its transgender operations on minors last week. The Department of Justice, in coordination with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, secured the historic settlement.  The hospital agreed to pay $10 million in damages for performing mutilating procedures on children. Five doctors at the hospital lost their jobs as part of the settlement.  Texas Children's Hospital will now establish the first-ever de-transition clinic. The clinic will provide care for the victims of transgender drugs and surgeries.  Trump created $1.7 billion Anti-Weaponization Fund The Trump administration created a $1.7 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund” this week.    The fund would compensate Americans who faced unjust investigations and prosecutions by the Biden Justice Department.  Listen to comments from President Donald Trump. TRUMP: “This is reimbursing people that were horribly treated, horribly treated. It's anti-weaponization. They've been weaponized,. They've been, in some cases, imprisoned wrongly. They paid legal fees that they didn't have. They've gone bankrupt. Their lives have been destroyed, and they turn out to be right. I mean, it was a terrible period of time in the history of our country.” 37% of U.S. adults say religion is gaining influence in American life A new survey from Pew Research asked Americans what they think about religion in government and public life.  The survey found that 37 percent of U.S. adults say religion is gaining influence in American life. That's up 19 percentage points over the last two years. And just over half of Americans have a positive view of religion's influence.  Also, 17 percent of respondents say the federal government should declare Christianity the official religion of the U.S. That's up from 13 percent in 2024. Council of Nicaea affirmed doctrine of Trinity 1,700 years ago And finally, this month marks the anniversary of the First Council of Nicaea, over 1,700 years ago. In late May A.D. 325, 300 Christian leaders convened in the city of Nicaea, located in modern-day Turkey.  The council dealt with the doctrine of the Trinity. In particular, the church at the time had to refute the heresy of Arianism. The heretical teaching denied that Jesus is fully and eternally divine.  The council went on to affirm the divinity of Christ in the Nicene Creed. It is recited by churches around the world to this day.  The creed says there is “one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds; God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God; begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by Whom all things were made.” John 1:1 and 4 says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ... In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, May 20th, in the year of our Lord 2026.
