supreme court the washington state house of representatives and the governor of north carolina also good news in salt lake city were catholics are fighting the placement of an entire pretty speaking on them and the demonstrators in st petersburg but rockers defy the anti gay laws at a moscow concert and i'm going to review coriolanus in the park which only have until this weekend to see and move on rouge on broadway which may run forever shooting in the united states just this year you know words like travesty just don't do enough to describe you know that that action the swift and immediate action that needs to take place to prevent things from happening yes in the future thirty one people killed ben assault weapons in private hands period you know you're already not allowed to have a tommy gun you know i mean those i mean you're not allowed to build bombs so these things which can take so much life so fast  lot next people mass shooting of course the pulse massacre killed even more and then in dayton how do you describe this kid kellyanne conway wants to say he has left wing leanings but he was sort of one of these in cell types you read about these guys they can't get a date they hate women because they can't get a date and you know you've read what a horrible person he is but whatever they are they shouldn't have weapons of mass and intolerable and not texan are you kidding you're an open carry state governor you're the one is disgusting you know whiling that kind of thing you promote the worship of guns over people it's not you know and  and of course he's a guy who stokes bigotry himself in many cases just last couple of weeks ago reporting on oh to celebrate the fact that we're going to install chick fil a in an airport we're going to sit there any chick fil a and don't tell us you know what kind of food  allowed in places like the care and schools places of worship so well nobody feels safe you know we but you know the group that always responds to these things is gays against guns they were in times square this week there's a guy holding up a sign about what it was all about if you can put that up there gays against guns went to times square on believe it was on sunday  ensued and everybody you know ran and ducked for cover and i just think it was pure panic people people were running into theaters they were disrupting performances of hamilton and that's the other one  of ohio who appeared at one of these vigils get heckled do something do something do something now he says he's going to raise a republican right where but we'll see but what about that other  of entities for the shootings including the breakdown of traditional american family values and she thinks transgender homosexual marriage and drag queen advocates the list goes on and on marijuana even she even blames recreational marijuana people who hate our veterans the entire democratic congress the culture whatever that means and snowflakes well yeah the  it's intolerable i mean he is he is behind of course the the rhetoric that drives these things up you know we we lost toni morrison this week she talked about words carrying violence and his words certainly do as well absolutely and he is he's traveling today to dayton and help out so and has been met with protests along the way right so people are not going to be just polite about all this they're going to do something ok i sure ho judicial nominee that has been confirmed by the senate there's one other actor guma tank in california in the u s district court for the southern district of california who has yet to be confirmed but who has been nominated by trump so  brown for the southern district of texas and brett lee start to the northern district these are dedicated anti gay activists they in their hearings they no longer even though they're given a  to people and he says that the equality act will ban christianity and he's also very anti trends but mike was happy to appear with him yeah three appearances this week with staunchly  something like it's really it's but that it he also said forgiveness is a great gift but i don't see any forgiveness coming for them more on trump he's got new regulations to remove anti discrimination protections from the affordable care act we've told you about this this is targeting l g b t q patients especially transgender patients the public comment period on this and this on august the twelve so you know how much good does it do to weigh in on these things go to the website and do it you can go to h r see human rights campaign dot a work they have it set up so that you can make your comment by august th it's all being pushed by this guy identification discrimination in sex stereotyping and specifically for groups who really are most vulnerable so it impacts medicaid it impacts the all inclusive care for the elderly really important that that we don't game and so the trump people say we're just a force in the real law and you know the law covers sex it doesn't cover sexual intake and it doesn't cover gender identity even though there are many court precedents that do hear the case is the timing can't you know the i mean isn't great right we don't have a supreme court configuration that can build on the precedents that we've heard in the lower courts which have recognized identities as an extension but you know we're not up to mystic but it should be possible you mentioned step six stereotyping which is covered under the civil rights act under sex sex stereotyping you're not fulfilling a proper sexual up mean what woman who comes in wearing pants or something or you know a man who wears a colorful shirt or i don't know whatever even schoolies said that's covered under sex discrimination so yeah this is he says ramifications ok in the u s house thirty members have verged the acting ice director to stop the mistreatment of transgender detainees at the border told you about ones who have died yet there's one who's been there since two thousand and seventeen seeking noting that that the vast majority eighty eight percent of l g b t q asylum seekers have experienced violence and in particular of the the waves of people coming into the country right now the of a joke anybody can write i wish we would all get together and sit down and say let's all get behind somebody but what were some of your impressions that i got of that you know i was unimpressed which i hate to sound candidate was unimpressed not by the candidates because i think each into their own there are impressive qualities and platforms i was unimpressed perhaps because of the format right you've got so many people speaking out once the sound bites are short time is short everybody gets cut off i didn't hear one soundbite that you know that made in the hair stand up on my arm right there were no except i think except for people who judge he turned to the camera going to picture of him  he spoke to republicans and he said when the sun sets on your career in their writing and they are writing about your story of all the good and bad things you did in your life the thing that you will be most remembered for is whether you found the courage to stand up to him meaning trump you also accuse the n r a of creating a false god out of guns so that's the kind of stuff i want to hear take him like you know they're just writing talking points for the republicans at this point so contrast yourselves i would start everything by saying look the differences among us all here is minimal compared to what we've got now here's some differences say it kindly and you know there there were those moments and warren and booker in particular stand out to me as the ones who did sort of a check and a check point and said look you know i would support anybody on this stage  over trump now and let's let's be in this together and i think there was a lot of air spent on those sort of comments and the nit picking and frankly i think everybody was picking on biden for better or worse so my you know the commentary on whether you think i who can inspire people yes exactly we need to show you need to show that you are hope and it's not going to be done by tearing down of the democrat solution trust got a long time journalist who wrote a story about stonewall what happened for the village voice but he said the democratic national committee needs to take these debates back from these people of the cable networks who are just using them for ratings run them themselves let the press cover t on behalf of a tragic event the death of a trans woman in rikers island calling for the end of solitary confinement in our prisons right we have a picture there of late along couldn't afford five hundred dollars for bail was left to rot in rikers was not given proper medical attention and died and and other sexual sins now of course almost every religion major religion does this you can't imagine how do you go to a church and not have it be an anti gay church there are a few but they're the minority growing but it's  religious leaders but very few are pro gay so i think it's interesting because it's because i don't see it as all bad that some of our pro i officials are meeting with the sort of the q i think that's how you open the door to conversation and i think maybe it's the optimism meet optimism in me but once you put some humanity into the conversation and faces and names there's an opportunity to talk about shifting and so well i don't know if the catholic church is going to budge any time soon but but i would say you know especially given the divide of nature of our country right now opening doors and having conversations and knowledge is now  well if anybody was optimistic this week it was alexandria ocasio cortez she's at a vigil over the shootings and she says i want to address this to the white supremacists out there there is a mother waiting for you i know it i know there's a teacher waiting for you saying what happened to my kid what happened to my friend and we will always be here and hold space for you to come back we will love you back you leader don't waste your time on the five percent or ten percent of people who were never going to agree with you you know work on the movable middle we now we have this whole group of forty percent of trump supporters we sort of see is a movable but are do i want to focus on people who didn't vote was started and see if we can attract them and that's why i want the democrats to be more positive in their approach is they should be as negative as they want on trump and that was a turning point this week they all just let loose and said he's a racist dog and he's the source of a lot of these problems they're not you know mincing words trump doesn't you know and then what was the kevin mccarthy who's a republican leader he said what happened to well they go no big you know we hi well we're not going to play that game anymore with you know we can't like speaking two different languages and as the world is on fire and so we you know we need to put we need to try to put the fire out and we need to flip the senate when it needs to be talked about or if we don't  hard because these a lot of these small states we have to get you know some flubs and the big states where the action is or arizona colorado georgia kentucky maine north carolina texas if you live in any of those places we hope you were deeply involved in the senate campaign all right where are we ok you talk about utah switching gears a little bit sort of in that part of the country where some of the states you mentioned are tough finally after two years moved to make surrogacy illegal for same sex couples here we lost a couple of decisions but we got a better decision a good decision from the court of utah finally in a seventy five page decision the sticking point that perfected same sex couples from having legal families through gestational surrogacy was the woman the title intended mother in the original language of the yeah and that's what the lower court judge just said but the chief justice and we had this picture up there we do have it up there he said same sex couples must be afforded all of the benefits the state has linked to marriage and freely grants to opposite sex couples important equal rights to same sex family as long as we're in utah what we talk about those catholics in salt lake city so poor st ambrose church right they lost one priest because he were trying to go with a sex worker tax dollars being used for people to travel to tile g t states yes i got them a lot of credit we reported all these things a new york does this a lot of states do this new report came out showing that there are plenty of entities going around that law using private funds to travel to the states that have staunchly and anti l g b t laws and yes legislators who want to do it or using campaign funds schools are raising private money and so their teams can go to these states yeah it's not in the spirit of the thing is that it's not but it but in a way it is because they recognize that it's harder for them to do it and there is a conscience check at the point on which they have to raise and spend those funds so you are a very a lot of states took them away when they got merged new york to new york city new york state never had them so this bill passed the assembly sixty to nothing so i guess it was not controversial it's all in the spirit not everybody wants to get married how about north carolina north carolina great progress there what a what a one hundred and eighty from just a few years ago right in our history terrible legislature they do but thankfully governor roy cooper is less terrible and he just signed an executive order that bans conversion therapy in state now eighteen states and washington d c we've got great momentum on this bill that protects l g b t q youth from this very harmful outdated issue is we you can't use to can't get reimbursed from the state or for medicaid or anything like that for doing convert you want to do it do it on your own you can do is get free speech good and do it you know although  think in new jersey and new york we're we're starting to define it as consumer fraud so that's that's more of a problem so it doesn't address the religious leaders and other institutions that may still be doing this practice but it does you know put an in the box for professional psychological warfare and it sends a strong message to parents who might be thinking about just sending them can't good news from washington state lori jenkins from tacoma in the legislature there was elected speaker of the house now this is a legislature or a majority of the democrats are women and she is the st woman and she's the heated meeting where they met to discuss the treatment of trans people in jail it's well this was the jail oversight board right yes yes and the discussion got so heated that they ended up having to shut down well the chair of the chair of the thing got upset he's trying to try to get a meeting and people and he's not dealing with it so so trans people who were there to try to get better treatment for drugs people start shouting and he just shuts it down walks out been but there's better news for trans people from akron ohio we told you about this but now it's finally opened children's hospital children's hospital opened its center for gender affirming they're going to the parents as well for counseling sixty patients subside up this far how does mario lopez feel that well hopefully by now mario lopez is a bit more educated on the issue of trans kids and gender nonconformi was on conservative talk show and said that when when referencing celebrities who let their kids self identify their gender that it was weird and inappropriate and potentially dangerous to do so  americans to leave the democratic party black said they call it oh no no where it's no where it's not did you tell me when i was speaking of trans people that the perpetrator in the capital one respond simple for the one hundred million pieces of personal information released breached by capital one she found a weakness in their system and a vulnerability and strangely the police were able to track her down with her home address because just days prior she lost her cat and was just straught terribly distraught about the loss of her cat posted a letter from the the veterinary clinic you  fifty nine years old is suing her insurance company with the help of the national center for lesbian rights for not covering doctor recommended for a shill surgery as part of her transition she said are you do  you work with my plumbing a bit you know covered some of that but if i look like this and i can't get you know things feminized a bit of my face it's going to be very hard for me to be a woman or be or to be accepted as a woman so the natural evolution i think of inclusive health care so you know we used to be the case and still is the case in some states and some interest health insurance companies that what is considered medically necessary care for transferrable like or things you know so the fight can means to try to get full coverage for trying if you care about all these issues there is going to be a national transverse ability march it is set for saturday september t before you start yelling that they found out that it was the jewish holiday and they're sorry but they feel like they're stuck with the date so they've got to stream the thing but it's going to start at nine thirty in the morning and d c s freedom plaza march to the u s capitol and they got to plan another the st african american president of h r c n forty years of their history right so hopefully good things to come right worst news in the transgender community kiki fan troy twenty one years old twenty one black trans woman in miami fatally shot last week multiple times her mother is pleading for justice you know this is an example of more gun violence it's the th such killing of trans women this year in the united states that we know about and then and also in the district of columbia a trans woman named alisa love was assaulted at a d c gas station have just after leaving work just walking home from work also twenty eight years old in dekalb county masked gunmen used anti gay slurs rob shot arrested were joshua ellis a woman name surely most of these things are more most of these things are done by men and tyrese johnson he was arrested july st for armed robbery and felony murder of note and a recent study just came out from the center for the study of hate and extremism at the california state university citing they looked at thirty different cities around the country and found that hate crimes are up nine percent year over year and that is with overall crime actually on this little heat crime or just because you're going to really showed and the top it's a increase in five years in hate crimes st of the top most frequent hate crimes are against african americans twenty three point five percent well then followed by news twenty one five percent followed  a lid on these things not to exacerbate them but that's what we have in the white house right when you've got leaders here in meeting with groups and hate groups and i want to hang out and even even when they try to do something nice for us like the new york mets they 're going to have their pride night again just to up a lot of major league baseball teams do this but now befouled polls at citi field where the mets play are adorned with chick fil a ads and i was very distressed to read the a naturally a mets fan and i i was disheartening to hear not only that chick fil a will be you know prominently displayed in advertising at the stadium on friday night but the mets response was really  they didn't say much actually they didn't say anything and if you look at their web site they don't have pride night listed and the giveaway is it's like it's something that has nothing to do with l g b t q so they're they're really yeah yeah let's go mets yeah let's go matt all right well staying in queens you know we celebrated the victory of tiffany a woman who describes herself as a queer lot latina as the district attorney democratic nominee in queens she won by a lebanon one hundred votes on election day but it's all gone through a process of they they denied a lot of her bow it's by saying people didn't fill them out properly so it's going it's gone to melissa katz who was the current president of queens and i was very sad to see that happen we told you about the guy in oregon city iowa who burn children's books with l g b t themes well the da tried to you know though hopeful in terms of justice has arrested somebody who they claim was the person who killed l g b t activists elina grigorieva yes they arrested one guy and then they said he didn't do it now they've arrested somebody else the troll still trying to say it's somebody who had a drink with our rather than someone who was motivated by this website that was that her slot of her for death yeah that's a bit suspect and russia also  removing children who are adopted by same sex parents it started with a young boy who went to the emergency room for pneumonia and upon further investigation by lee medical staff when they  you know deny gay parents the right to adopt and what is that where does that leave gay kids also you know who need need adoption that's absolutely true the they issued a waiver to american absolutely as and and just immoral for the four hundred thousand children in foster care who need homes speaking of the moral and staying in russia and st petersburg eleven activists were detained because they had an au to do this and they were encircled by troops could told the financial times that l g b t q people must not be allowed to overshadow the culture traditions and traditional family values of millions of people making core population is such a rule i could use a bad word but he has no this is the way they stay in power and this is the way the party in poland is trying to stay in power to what i find ironic is that especially in countries like the us and japan and other industrialized nations and yet we need immigration it's that we absolutely do need immigration to keep us all fueled and going and competitive for the workforce we also need to keep people are we're the ones actually who are increasingly upholding family values we're just starting to get married or have your mother said i am a mom i want to go and it's exhausting and amazing and i have a two year old and and he's the reason i fight every but you know i'm both discouraged and discouraged by stuff going on in poland so the catholic church there is doubling down on a bt rhetoric along with the ruling nationalist party that is true that is trying to use up in flames it all to the parade i don't think there was anything untoward that happened but it halted the parade of two hundred thousand dollars for about an hour there were some people suffered mild injuries pride marches also took place last weekend in belfast in amsterdam read a claim lots and lots of people turned out and i would say in the opposite in terms of turnout the feral islands held their st pride celebration and self governing territory here in the kingdom of denmark and the people there said they didn't really need a pride because everett is equal here we're going to have one anyway they are the entire string of eighty nine months houses fifty one thousand dollars people total population twenty people check they would go to the pride march on the facebook group but it turned out to be a nice celebration and perhaps they'll continue the tradition one hundred years in norway they're going to have the st private law and year ben that's the name of the place it's set for population tw forty four it's set for august th that is the world's northernmost settlement on the other hand in venezuela where we're imposing new sanctions not for this reason satirical play about gay police officers were arrested and accused of ridiculing and usurping the functions of venezuela's authorities that's doesn't sound very good and doesn't and venezuela also issued an unrelated news but also terrifying in a different way they issued a travel warning against the u s following the shoemaker should have a warning against us with lots of places you know i mean i have friends who are very frightened to come here and you should be  in montenegro a bill to allow civil unions died in the parliament with the ethnic minorities in the in the parliament voting against it seventy one percent of monks and the greens consider homosexuality an illness but on the other hand some other was the rd such couple who married in the united states where same sex marriages i recognized yes and to be recognized there we had new york started having same sex marriage because people want to canada or massachusetts or connecticut so hopefully they are here and were a new poll in canada says no support for same sex marriage is up to two thirds of the of the people so they say they've been having it there we've had a basin wide since two thousand and five and australian official us find after comparing  liberal party it's the right wing party and she was fined two thousand five hundred bucks for homosexual vilification that's a crime there love it so be careful when you go to westralia but she had said to this guy she shouted at this guy until you can tell you this guy until you can breastfeed and have children you shouldn't be able to marry she also has to apologize in the newspaper for her harshness the stories are a little confusing but it passed yeah i think the community was calling for a look at the full text of the bell because they there were some questionable pieces of the last bill that was passed two years ago now what do you think about we've talked about this but you know richard grinnell is the gay ambassador from donald trump trump likes him in germany and so he hosted a meeting of l g b t i activists from around the world including stuart milk of the milk foundation now i have a bone to pick with stuart because he allows harvey milk's image to be used on russian vodka you know to get a fee i guess you know of course we been dumping russian vodka down the drain over over here but anyway he was there and people people from other countries including botswana where there the guy from botswana named cain young men say went to this gay people decently but they don't so anyway the garden that's want to send this is all well and good but you've got to stop sending your right wing preachers to our country from america screw you know fomenting homophobia now the guy from the washington blade asked kellyanne conway about this whole thing and she said i don't have a comment on that question from trump ok no comment is never now how much worse johnson the new u k prime minister has got a hideous cabinet any appointed in drew gilligan and anti trans conservative is the transport adviser no pun intended he once said the trans activists must be secret double agents put there to damage their cause and alienate people thankfully boris johnson is down to a one vote majority  over there pro gay ads that were posted at a at a at a music festival that drew five hundred thousand people he had say zero sugar zero prejudice and they show gay couples lesbian couples gay couples well we're not saying you shouldn't drink coke but the government is pretty antagonistic towards gay people we're down to our last five minutes can we put up the picture of the ecuador gender policing of sports and it was determined that she's not going to be able to defend her world championship eight hundred meter race this fall because she refuses to take testosterone yet i mean this is who she is naturally i mean you know you've got it i mean you've got to hit the cap everybody in sports and say everybody's got to have the same testosterone level it since it's kind of insane it absolutely is and it really is just the latest form of gender policing i mean you know if we're going to look at hormones are we looking at chromosomes are we looking at internal body parts external body parts right what is the criteria by which someone else allowed to compete her lawyer up it's a it's a good performance of this play and you're out of the stars and it's a wonderful time but it's free but it is it is it's very serious it's battles and you know people fighting and  they played it for a laugh sometimes when they shouldn't have and i don't like when they do that dared to be serious when you're serious including when you know korean way this is like bonding with the rival general and they're going you know because there's a over to television you know disney channel star joshua rush came out as by he was actually the st character in a disney movie in a disney t v show called andy mack to play a gay character and he came out on social he wrote it's me i'm by i stuffed the eggs is an existential crisis of talking about my sexual orientation into a box in my mind for years you know today i really said to the world you know it's remains despite it being considered a liberal field it's one of the harder places for people to come out because they don't want to get stereotyped they want to play every role but absolutely look at our friend kevin spacey and i am mean actors who have not
