man north her still here we hope you are too were not given up until they go away this is the week when president trump escalated our war on afghanistan while continuing his a ult on l g b t rights and his support for what he calls the fine people in the neo nazi movement and it's really unbelievable every week you know we used to worry about having enough news in the summer about they keep on giving sadly other news that keeps happening going to veer river song is the th transgender woman murdered in the united states this year police in new york a sting over a couple of months for cruising in a park yes they have videotapes and they seem to enjoy them lots of notable passings including transgender pioneer holly boswell an award winning of a mess the postal referendum on same sex marriage has not even been sent out but the campaign has gotten very ugly already as we feared that was that was the reason we went out against  can stop it in its tracks in the courts two world leaders marched in the montreal pride parade l g b t pride marches were attacked in russia and uganda the use of truvada as prep is increasing but mostly among white gay men and less among people of color who need it the most and we went to see michael moore's broadway show the terms of my surrender and we'll tell you what we thought about it  justice anthony kennedy that he intends to resign at the end of the next term which will end in the spring or summer of two thousand and eighteen and which would give the republican president whoever that might the chance to appoint without the chance to elect a democratic senate to block it and it's bad bad news and very bad news and we're going to be in terrible shape for a long time but as trump is making all these pronouncements these racist pronouncements there is resistance the you know we've talked about all the business leaders who resigned from his council but are now calling him privately to say let's get together spoke out and now the president and his wife have both canceled their attendance at the kennedy center honors and canceled the white house reception before it he doesn't look he goes to where he is going to meet no opposition that's what he does yeah that's what most presidents do quite frankly but it was certainly mean was it was wonderful to be able to get to boo ronald reagan when he gave his st aid speech and six years into the crisis fact that this guy stands out as a bore and a crude human being is to make it easier for people to also a criminal and i'm with rachel maddow in this case i mean people are talking about this enough when carson being at the phoenix rally is a violation of the hatch act because officials like that are not supposed to be at campaign events and he was introduced by his title and that's illegal  organization came out with a statement condemning his attempt to ban transgender people from serving in the military and that was pretty stunning and i couple things st of  all we have a viewer who reminds us appropriately i think periodic play that we ought to be a little cautious about endorsing people's service in the military given what the united states military is doing around the world with all their killing of civilians and militarism and gemini and so let me say that and agree with that attitude at the same time i am offended by inequality and discrimination so and the reason it's new is because it's the conservative institutions that yield last so it's nudes when you know people in religious groups agree to again gay people even though we have to marry gay people even though we don't support these religions right so so what we support your right to follow we support every runs right to freedom but yeah we  were not crazy about some of these institutions you know about that but i found so offensive in his afghanistan speech all his talk about loving all people and you know bigotry and military do transcends all definition longest war in american history seventeen years well it would be nice if some negotiated peace could be achieved but of course no matter all the generals i mustn't be see it all the stations come on and say this is a good move by trump because it's going to help their pockets because most of them work for military contractors well it's only helpful if it promotes a settlement discussion because the taliban has beaten the russians says beaten us for i don't think it's the way to build the peace well we certainly don't have all the answers we don't have all these there's really not to that i mean force the story before this was all about trump's racism you know and that's what well that's what a lot of what this you know all these people resigning is about it's all about the charlottesville reaction and actually the one of the stories that horrified me most was the non profit organizations cancel a in their fund raising event a lago and i want to know what was the american red cross doing holding an event at mar a lago in the st place not to mention the susan g komen foundation and we've heard bad things about that the salvation army country and isis and all those things there's this one group run by next neo nazi you know christian picked lanie you've seen him on television he got free of it and he runs an anti hate group called life after hate and this is the group they chose to defund from the administration and who made that decision catherine gorka who is married to her and she works in bastion she works  department of homeland security and defunded this group well because it's no more than getting funding for in the st to fight hate to help people overcome and get out of these groups and get out of these neo nazi groups i mean i know many of them as fine people and i love what mike said you really wrote this week because you know mike sr really the columnist was branded as d an outer you know for outing and that was a word invented by time magazine we call it reporting when we talk about who's who's gay and who's not among these people and he says he supports the use of the term outing when it comes to exposing these neo nazis which is happening all across the country and i think is going to back a lot of people up from publicly register my complaint about the commentators who particularly the more conventional moderates so called republicans who go on t v and say well trump is not a real republican because they're trying to disassociate themselves from him and trying to claim some kind of moderation for the republican party eighty percent of republicans still support him well more importantly to me he supports all their agenda and to say he is not a republican when he is in there trying to give tax cuts to the rich build up the military destroy health care do everything that is the good well he has another homophobic appointment to throw at us this week we have a picture of this guy sam clovis he's been nominated to be the chief scientist for the department of agriculture he's not a scientist  o i talk radio host he believes homosexuality is a choice sanctioning of same sex marriage could lead to the legalization of pedophilia so d is this something that you know  people might be able to make a stand on with the senate to stop this guy is hard you know he says that employers should be allowed to not hire gay people or whomever they want because of religious freedom more on that shortly well and by the way in terms of funding for fighting kate a congresswoman that he of alaska as a democrat of new york is seeking greater federal resources to address hate crimes they want to extra fifty million dollars to do this and if trump wants to show if anybody if the republicans want to show we are really against this they need to come through with the funding for it of course they can't even afford the secret service now campaigns he ran campaigns in israel got a picture of arthur and his husband donald there do you have that and they'll put it in ok he well we've been fighting have all this like he was in a fifty year relationship eventually married his husband of course everybody he supported almost everybody worked against gay rights and against the right to marry well he very happily and energetically worked to a lacked al d'amato from new york older but he was at least one hundred and he is he has lung cancer and this guy in terms of craft was a genius i mean he is the guy credited with turning the word liberal into a political weapon fett course i've always felt it was a bit of an epithet i want people to be progressive in life not just liberal well he described the campaigns he wrote ran as vicious and mean negative negative negative because you can't possibly win otherwise and so he well i found fascinating his explanation of political combat and how to win because i think it's something we need to keep in mind now the most overwhelming fact in politics is what people do not know he told college students in prague in politics it's what you perceive to be true that's true not truth sound familiar if i tell you one thing is true will believe the nd thing is true a good politician will tell you a few things that are true before he will tell you a few things that are untrue because he will then believe all of the things he is said true and untrue well look i was a political consultant for many years and you know you what to do what the democrats stand for you're going to have better education you're going to have peace you're going to have health care get out of these things and do that and do we deliver them is the question so well but it's also what i quoted earlier his philosophy was negative negative negative and we have seen time and time again how often not always but how often that approach wins well of the national enquirer to destroy on him being in transition yes and he's saying this is libelous because because transgender is bad why is how do we know it's bad because of trump's transgender ban everything like that terrible he has exposed something that was spoken about in executive session and he has been removed by the state and then there's always a way and then there's you know all right so right now it's all about let's remove all the statues and all the horrible things yeah so they have all these people in new york they want to remove this statue in central park and they're desperate to remove something honoring jay marion's who is apparently the father of going to college g but also performed experiments  without honestly asia on african american and slave people no good so that they are pushing those parks department to remove him but some of the people who were there at this press conference opposing him they're not opposing ruben d n sr to be elected and you live anti homes you need to beg and to the city council in the bronx so let's let's focus on what's going on here too and even though that sounds a little local we can extrapolate this yes  stand up for justice let's all be consistent well i'm happy to see the governor of louisiana standing up for justice he is going to appeal the court order that disallowed his executive order trying to outlaw discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity for state employees thank you for pursuing that governor let's talk about some of the some of the violent stories that we have well  the th murder of a transgender woman this year is going to veer river song twenty six years old in waxahachie texas yes died after being shot following an argument with another individual  transgender person named kiwi herring thirty died at the hands of the st louis police there was a big argument in the building there was a lot of she was knife wielding at the time but they shot her dead when they came in on this and importantly celebrate the life of france pioneer and hero holly boswell yes sixty six year or so d all died of heart failure she was one of the st to use the word transgender and she created a symbol to explicate the variety of genders available while boswell said that what she came up with is that there are as many genders as there are people think about that she was a co creator of the southern comfort conference which is a huge annual trans conference back in one thousand nine hundred and six co founded asheville north carolina's phoenix transgender support group just harking back to what you said about the richard simmons story you didn't see the a b c show this week what would you do know or read about it yeah you have tons or so i mostly like but i saw and they set up situations where something bad is happening and then they and they have hidden cameras and they watch whether bystanders intervene or not so this was a trance woman in a dress store with a young female clerk trying to stop her from buying a dress you don't belong in here or leave here you're going to ruin the dresses go away and the customers now it's a t v show they're very selective in who they show but what they showed was one hundred percent support for the trans woman each customer that they showed looked to be at what was going on and chose to intervene  have to intervene they chose to step forward and intervene they lectured the clerk about how it appropriate she was and said you know everybody deserves to live and be free and she's not doing anything wrong and she's a woman and how dare you talk to her like this one customer left the store and came back into made a decision to come back in intervene it was really quite heartwarming and this was i think suburban new jersey or something this was not in the middle a man has is not in the middle of a trump bro not at all i'm not suggesting that this is universal but it was just it was a heartening model and appearing on a network primetime show was a model for the country not unique to them but the time of clemente foundation which fights but when they talk about you need to be an up stand there yeah not a bystander or as they say in the new york city subways if you see something say something well there's no telling because they didn't tell us how many people didn't react or walked away or sent something negative but what they showed was uniformly supportive and and i thought a great message and we have a judge in the brooklyn supporting bar campbell this african american gay man was having a party and the police came and thirteen a pride party it is half and they accused him of all kinds of misconduct and it was in fact the police that were engaged in a brutal but beating of him we do have a picture of  misconduct of the police in this case he he was as andy said brutally beaten fagged bash they conducted an illegal search of his house so i asked him with anti gay slurs he went through dozens of surgeries so he is suing and the judge's decision here was that they did not have to have a trial about what happened that he was making a peremptory decision that the police had acted illegally and told the jury that they would proceed directly to a consideration of the damages that were appropriate so baps the trial that will take place now is to discuss the amount of damages yes the issues of false arrest battery prosecution they also tampered with cameras in the area and they have pictures of the cops reaching up to the cameras to turn them off or change their direction so that they would not capture what they ok and i would like to have the same thing happen to the cops in martin county florida port st lucie they have spent two months conducting a sting to uncover sexual activity in a buyer and in a park now they have to have hidden cameras to find it you wouldn't believe w yeah i would believe that but perhaps if you would simply out of control person or two in the area you could have prevented all this and not have to arrest forty five men and put their pictures in the newspaper  the vast majority of men who engage in any of this kind of activity public sex know how to be discreet and cover up and not unless you go looking for it you are not going to find it you know one of the complaints by the cops was you know there were families in that park and some of them walked by right after this happened yet after it's so they're not great in other words these aren't based on genuine complaints now they're they're based on we want to get the fags yeah and that's the way it goes and it's an outrage that it still happens but you know after they got rid of the sodomy laws back in two thousand and three completely in this country police stepped up these kinds of prosecutions same thing happened in england when they started to decriminalize they've they don't want to give up on their homophobia and neither does the cherry creek mortgage money and united health care cherry creek i used to live in cherry creek colorado a suburb of denver and that is where the cherry creek mortgage company is headquartered but they have offices around the country evidently and a lesbian who worked for them and she married her partner and apply for health insurance coverage from the company which she had worked for and they did not get well i think she had a good st and then she tried to renew it they said no we're a christian company this goes against our policies your as the companies decision so the point is that the supreme court's hobby lobby a decision which was a disaster when it happened a couple of years ago chain the chain of stores that doesn't want to provide  who are religious and who don't want to go along with any nondiscrimination policy and then you're fine if it's a closely held family company so we'll see how far that extends because these lesbians are suing the company keep this up america and there will be blood in the streets and the divisions that you're creating with these kinds of decisions well you know this is one is going to be one of these whose ox is gored situations because this is going to spread farther and i remember one case of some straight person who sued for being fired from a job at a gay bar and we support things straight person they should be fired for their sexual orientation oh some said it was one case some some non gay man this week wandered into a berlin gay sex club this week and wrote a very long yelp review of how horrified he was  who was busted for threatening to repeatedly rape or murder the city council speaker most a bark river read oh he's going after everyone he's a not well but the reason it's relevant to us is that he also sent out a note to the head of the office i participate in raising money for the muscular dystrophy telethon when i was ten probably before he made his faggot remarks on the tele i don't know what it was or his racist and massage it is jokes and he was very politically right wing just so you know but congratulations to katie sours she is an out lesbian who is now an assistant coach for the san francisco forty receivers of the forty nine ers outs or it's did an extensive interview with her and you know what disappointed me down faster about her whole background and growing up she has a twin they both played women's football but they didn't ask her about football and concussions and any of that and i think you should be banned well i think it's inappropriate to do any kind of interview like that these days and not raise those issues well in terms of being open open she says there are so many people who identify as o g b t n a in the n f l as in any business that do not feel comfortable being public about their sexual orientation i e none of them well there is  felt pride affinity group started by a couple of game ploy of the n f l which is supposed to exist to heightened sensitivity and reinforce an inclusive environment but all this is happening net can't get a job as a quarterback formerly of the forty nine dollars ers because of his political action and yet more players are making gestures yeah that's this year let's see what happens when their contracts come up for renew i'll stand during the national anthem this year was sad well not sad is what the still most democratic club of new york did this week i mean and i think more clubs need to do this obviously you want to know the record of somebody when they're running and that you don't us rodriguez is a council member and they endorsed him but then he endorsed the anti gay bigot i mentioned ruben diaz and they actually met to rescind their endorsement and we've got we've got to stop people from supporting these other people say well you know he's good on other issues well this is a disqualifier i we will never have any respect in these arenas if we don't have some values and stick to them and i don't expect to support the church of the latter day saints the mormons  any respect either but they they issued a statement applauding something called the love loud festival for l g b t youth and said because of it's and to bring together to address teen safety and to express respect and love for all of god's children now these are religions of course that don't respect us but actively fight against our right to marry throw gay people out of the church and so it's a little hard to read what's going on there but meanwhile the san francisco ga men's chorus has announced that they're going to do a week's tour through the south through small towns in mississippi and alabama and other places it's called the lavender one hundred and two dollars are and they're going to raise money for local nonprofits and be involved in the community rainbow flag up there for a while you know something for the you know for the for the group called the educate club which promotes diversity around these kinds of issues and this two hundred and seventy people signed a petition ok you know he's eighty four i heard him speak at the university of virginia what i was a kid it was entranced about what you know i thought was very very funny guy but i mean when he was at uva he was about this then because he was on a hunger strike over the viet nam war and he made a lot of jokes about how people send them hate mail about what they had for dinner and that he had a clause in his contract that he could walk off if the war ended but i mean he threw himself into the civil rights tremendously and this comedian who wrote an op ed piece in the time said you know people always ask me why i travel so much and i tell him to fight for freedom is out there and in my house so that the big news is australia where they are moving towards having this postal advisory vote on same sex marriage not binding the idea is of dollars yeah idea is the parliament the leaders of the government and the current government which is a coalition of sort of conservatives and right wingers is too scared to have a parliament vote so they want to get the population to demand that they have a bout so they can get away with legalizing same sex marriage so as for that that is left wing the labor party did not want this postal vote in part because they knew that it would devolve into horrible children now you know they can do that oh yes they're condemning this the you know the conservatives who put this thing up but this is what we said was going to happen exists is what has happened immediately now they the ballots are not even being sent out to the is invalid and should not take place so the leader of the labor party in parliament bill shorten gave a very strong speech in parliament about how horrible this campaign is and how illegitimate and we were impressed by the speech so we thought you might want to see it i love the trolls on the hiders but i expected more from him i hold you responsible for every bit but the most powerful act of resistance is to vote yes for equality mine time your heart mind time your enthusiasm vote yes and make sure that you have friends and relatives and colleagues and classmates and so you  clubs for the union movement for community groups it is time now to get involved it's time to organize and fought for equality this survey is costly this survey is unnecessary this survey places unfair pressure on one group of  we led in this parliament we did the right thing the community backed us this one hundred and twenty two million dollars survey denigrates the parliament it risks putting a strike here and a hell of a price further behind the rest of the world but there is one thing th debate will unleash and the characterization of people who do not support same sex marriage are going about pollsters i have to stand but he's also he has also made statements that have you know that have characterize the other side completely as deplorable yet yes yes and that can be a problem and p s the labor party how did chance to do this but julia guillard who led the labor party in the parliament was the prime minister for some unbelievable reason basically because she didn't she some of them like the institution of marriage period now she was a feminist leader did not do it when they had the chance i still like his speech and not be happy to have him as our president well the polling yes on this a lot of young people are signing up they were afraid that young people would not get involved in postal voting because none of them abstain but they're more optimistic things like that happening and when you have the archbishop's threatening to fire any employees of the church or issue yes yes fire teachers nurses other everybody who works for a catholic institution you get married course the conservatives are also criticizing the head of quantas who is campaigning for same sex marriage this say well you know you shouldn't be using the company that way i guess it's somewhat government subsidized but he vowed to he was corporate leaders are new heroes you have this guy in the face with a lemon pie for his support for same sex marriage and young private events around the world with any luck you know will come true that the liberal party which is the conservative party that is headed by michael will suffer political consequence and what any one of the saying if if he if this vote excites liberal actual liberals not let the parts members yes that can mean real trouble for him and his coalition in the next election because there will be more people to the left on the rolls and they may have  some unintended consequences of conducting this postal service sort of them lived with what the mormon church was doing here the the british catholic schools have set up this big outreach to stop bullying against the people of the happen down the road i don't know i've seen things get a lot worse in the last year let's talk about no that are ok well i i was wrong on this i thought the court in northern ireland which was hearing the case for same sex marriage would declare any laws against it unconstitutional and we would sail through as we have another jurisdictions like our own to the legal aid station of same sex marriage there because it is legal in england and wales  legislature but they have a system where the minority can veto something and they did but they don't have any system right now yeah i mean because they can't form a government at the moment therefore people one which may be the next step because the judge in the case said i am not as a court going to decide this it must be a political decision by the legislature so d get out here you lose here and i was a little shocked at that but in chile a president michelle and chalet will introduce legalization of same sex marriage next week on  as it goes along but we'll see what they do on the other hand in guyana church is led hundreds of people in a march against homosexuality and in pakistan there they've got this package of bills for transgender folks that sounds really great but if you read the the lives of transgender folks about to stand it is very constricted well you know it's always the debate about is our laws enough  guidelines and whatever and no to really penetrate the culture and the whole of the thing is we know from our experience here in our own country but it's better than nothing and it's a model and it's a step ahead and it's certainly better in know he likes to travel i mean this guy only came out a few years ago but he's really throwing himself into the gay stuff maybe that was and is has been is i remember it all shares on the other hand other pride celebrations not so successful in ugand they had to cancel pride although they did haul by a small secret party because the government sent out the state militia to surround the projected pride venue's and frank mcgee show who's been on the show  who's one of the leaders of the country made a play to the west who help in this case you know they don't always do that because they have these a digitas movements but they want to press forward and they need the help of the international community thugs there were beatings there was pepper spray and the cops stood by and ignored well here's the excuse of the young people who were protesting they saw a sexual attraction towards themselves in the eyes of the marching  they felt threatened oh my god it's really unbelievable that we're going after feminist activists over there as well now a couple of divergent stories on asylum a nigerian activist out of wrong k a pot founder of the african rainbow family in nigeria has finally gotten asylum in britain after thirty phoenix year they wouldn't believe she was a lesbian for thirteen years i don't know how she finally convinced them and she was an activist in nigeria but now she finally has asylum but of those would be two activist in libya who does not this is the trump used you in the campaign to get votes and it's done nothing for you but banned you from this country and a strange little story from romania where i or a stomping ground an orthodox bishop has been forced to resign when video became public of him having sex with what's described as a male student now you can see the video online oh it's a little grainy oh you didn't say i didn't watch the video i watched the video but first of all the male student is not a ten year all he's got to be at least eighteen and maybe older and it looks very consensual and very adult i think it's just that he was adding sex orthodox church has said the church rejects unclean love in order to promote and protect hold a lot of my question is who took the video of romanian how they would know that seventy seven percent of those diagnosed are on the treatment and eighty two percent of those on the treatment have a fully suppressed viral load according to this for these findings seventy percent of the diagnose know well i wonder about those numbers how do you know how many are on diagnosed if they're on diagnosed how oh in answer to that i think some of it has to do with you came in and you w it's a story of act up paris made by a former member of actor that we're going to see it on monday we are going to tell you about until october and i was here doesn't often talk to her but looks like they're changing the name for the american show and the original title is one hundred and twenty dollars beats per minute which is a higher heart rate than normal and is meant to convey energy and excitement or stress or terror whatever but in the us it's just going to be called b p m or beats per minute i don't know why they knocked over the wire we've only got another minute we want to mourn the loss of stuart thompson sixty two broadway producer openly gay survivors husband beggar he produced the three longest running players of the past twenty five years he won tonys for the curious incident of the dog in the nighttime sky like death of a salesman a book of mormon god of carnage and proof so he was  tremendously accomplished producer and we really like the michael moore show yes his and his messages and message do something it was a combination stand up comedy show and  hours without intermission i thought it certainly would have benefited from being a little shorter but i was surprised at how much i liked it i don't like all his movies and i was a little president but i really ended up
