her career she actually had a quite fascinating life she was a rebel also having a fascinating life president trump he celebrated the abolition of civil rights that's a quote at the national prayer breakfast and we'll tell you more about that the republican led senate on one day in the judiciary committee confirmed forty four right wing judicial nominees things are going to be different in this country and this is what happens when we don't have control of the senate and we have only a fifty one vote rule or majority vote rule and there was a setback in a federal court for the cause of treating anti transgender discrimination as sex discrimination a new york city council member said that the gay community controls the city council i said helps and he has set off a firestorm there are a lot of angles to that both bullied and supported in her coming out and very shocking story that's not shocking to those who know about it but it's shocking that it's public finally a famous journalist opens up about being groped by new york's catholic cardinal spellman in one thousand nine hundred sixty seven and we want to alert our free speech viewers that they're going to be in pledge mode from february twenty first to mark seventeenth and during that time to us they will premiere on fridays at eight thirty pm eastern time and repeat on sundays at seven am and seven pm eastern the regular schedule resume march eighteenth you got all that down if you are signed up to receive our once a week e mail you'll get those details in that if you're not signed up perhaps you would like to go to get us a t v dot org and simply sign up to receive the right new they're not our home page just once a week and we'll tell you what's coming up on the show that week and information like this in some extra lengths and stuff so patricia know war and most of you know her as the author of the front runner which was the first sort of gay commercial novel to be a bestseller first to hit the new york times bestseller list yes and this is one nine hundred seventy four you know it was it was coming out but it wasn't an activist yet and that book and of course you can you see the testimonies of people from around the world about how reading this book changed their lives because it was a love story and we were you know people were people it just transformed people it was about a coach and an olympic leave having this relationship  remember giving it to my mother because when i came out i gave her the front runner i got to give her something to help her along and she said well she would kill blue book on book i was under the law of i could stop by god she was know but it's so but i've had such an impact on people's it really but there's a lot more about her well she was a runner she was a distance runner and that's in part how she thought of writing this book in the first place  she was an activist for a long time she worked at random house says a copy editor i think i'm sorry it was and you're right it's reader's digest not random house thank she paul newman talked about making it into a movie and there were other attempts to make it into a movie over the years but there was a recent movie called the front runner which had nothing to do with this but gary hart but there  still attempting to make a movie of this book i have no idea why it's taken so long it's ridiculous they've certainly been plenty of gay movies made but there is some thought that now they will be able to make it into a movie it's a great story look how long it took the make the film of the volunteered as a teacher at west hollywood eagle center school for l g b to you she's very involved in questions from one town i lived in new york for a long time then she was southern california she wrote a monthly column a new the aids magazine for many years and brought a lot of attention to the epidemic by doing that and she you know she wrote a bunch of other novels and emoting some women's  stories too but karen ok lesbian journalist said she literally saved thousands of lives by allowing gay people to see they could live and love without shame really and the impression i got from reading all the statements about her because i didn't know or i know west coast east coast was that she was completely down to earth and approaching her but she was involved on a daily basis in any all of these activities and she had a lot of friends and a lot of acquaintances in the community people one after the other talked about their relationship with her and she wasn't some distant isolated person she was definitely in there an active she was literary elite and liked it that way and yeah all right who moved to our president oh my god so he goes to the national prayer breakfast and he literally said praises the abolition of civil rights no  heavily lobbying on these issues who throws this and they all show up trump also thank karen pence for taking on a job at a christian school and he also brag how he is letting adoption agencies discriminate on the basis of religious faith nothing to be proud of when you take an oath to defend the constitution yeah well this is in praise of his health and human services department giving south carolina a study has found that kids of same sex parents do worse either do the same as or better so attorney general whitaker was testifying last week of that at his confirmation hearing to the senate and he said very firmly that he does not believe that title seven covers sexual orientation or gender i'd identity and he threw it right back at the senator said if you want that change the law and i thought well  i'd like to interpret title seven sex discrimination on discrimination is covering us but but he's also correct that they ought be doing they should be passing he's on the act they should be doing more to make that happen an acting attorney on these chords that even when we read if we may regain power in the white house congress in two thousand and twenty these judges will be sitting there and the laws that we passed can be overwhelmed by the courts more about that later  igrant children it turns out the ones who've been separated from their families are being processed for foster parenting or foster houses or were guardians whatever they call them through a christian adoption agency affiliated with betsy deval os so you can imagine the process for assigning these kids to homes where course they're never heard from again there is no attempt to reunite them with their parents no one is tracking them no one is keeping count of numbers or where anybody is or where the parents are no one is making it this is christianity this is this is what they say these agencies are doing  as one of the congresswoman said last week no this is child abuse this is kidnapping she said yes and now i says holding more than one hundred trans people in detention facilities hundred eleven at last count twenty facilities forty five in texas alone and that's the place where rocks hernandez transwoman and h h s health and human services which has along with the department of homeland security has responsibility for hands so that you can track them insert a tracking device would be too much trouble and back to our favorite subject of the trans people serving in the military which you know the ban on that is making progress senators kill a brand susan collins republican of maine and senator reid have introduced a bill to protect and that's what the democrats are all being asked can you really take him on because he's a killer in debate this is my favorite quote of the week you may do well go ahead no he said have a game ban from indiana i know how to stand up to a is great that's a great way to put it it strikes at so many things but we have a little political problem here in new york when the member of the new york city council the reverend reuben dns senior a pentecostal minister from the bronx who served for a long time in the state senate and is now in the city council that's him in the white cowboy hat with brian brown of the national organization for m arm in arm they were marching against same sex marriage would have passed in new york they have done many demonstrations together and reverend diaz has been on the anti l g b tea bandwagon for many many years and said many offensive things going back to one nine hundred ninety four when he was railing against the gay games coming to new york on the grounds that it would a teach children that homosexuality was ok and all the gay men at the gay games would be spreading hiv to the population so he said this week that the city council was he said it in spanish it takes a while to get the translations going on these things was controlled by the homosexual community and in many he was called out on it he wouldn't apologize he was condemned a lot of the mayor the governor they just criticized him said he should apologize others the big lot of people saying he should resign him back and resign but they did take away his subcommittee they did that this morning i thank you and so he was on a subcommittee about for higher vehicles so they just fold of that into the transportation he's got nothing well when he came on to the council a couple years ago everyone knew what a bigot he was and no one wanted to give many real power so they created this subcommittee out of whole cloth to give him also under attack for the opposite reasons for being a lesbian a catholic school in durham north carolina was holding a black history month a vent and they invited some local prominent people in to speak about black history month and vernetta allston was one of them she is a member of the city council she's a graduate of the school yes that's true she is no longer of the school but they canceled her speech and disinvited her because she is a lesbian and they didn't want her speaking at this catholic school so she said the church was condemning the lives and rights of the old g b t community and called it a sad regress online that goes after any of these kind of appearances and you know just starts hounding people about not allowing any hint of homosexuality that's quite a gig they probably raise a lot of money doing that and then all they have to do is go online and complain about people and they get paid well in the west virginia another one our republican eric porterfield member of the house of delegates there is he  courted controversy by saying that l g b t q people are the modern day k k k lacking only the hoods and then let me was asked what would you do if your son was gay your daughter was gay he said you know why do this i do this and then i throw them for all the men and see if they could swim it was basically a go ahead and drown as yeah as far as i'm concerned that was basically and that's a reference to witches too and the salem witch trials because one of the he was defending people with religious convictions who don't want to run their businesses the way a socialist left agenda wants to run it you're going to hear more about this socialism stuff which is oh my god it's just i'm hoping that trump and so over the top about that that no one will pay attention to it but of course some people will and then we have the wyoming state senator lynn hutchinson who said to a it was they were a group of students from a high school  gay straight alliance or g l b or alliance or whatever they're calling it these days so they were at the state capitol lobbying for a nondiscrimination bill and and this state senator says to them well what if i had sex with all the men in the capitol and then i had sex with all the women in the capital and then i know sex with all their kids and then i had sex with all their dogs should my sexual orientation be protected limitation would be protected your activity not necessarily as that is the important distinction going you know i've been trying to make that point for about fifty years now yeah  dozen people don't seem to want to know and we've always going in some of the well i have one other political story from puerto rico this is good news yes good news the governor of puerto rico has sent a memo to state employees laying out guidelines he says be nice to trans people coming in to change their gender marker on their driver's license be nice to same sex couples coming in for a marriage license nice to single people too by the way he s and their having trains and education and the guidelines are laid out there making a proactive attempt to deal with any instances of discrimination is didn't just happen because the gender marker thing was from a law if the state employees are not getting with the program you have to issue something like this and conduct trainings to teach people want to talk about some people who are being mistreated in virginia or where are we on the list  they passed one of the house this week it prohibits educators from including gender identity or gender expression in their curricular k through seven so a setback there in las cruces new mexico  the sad story was sad with the maybe happy ending of an eleven year old lesbian she came out to her mother yeah yeah everybody you're right  a little video circulating about ten seconds worth of someone beating her up outdoor well she got threats online and then somebody sent out a text saying this little lesbian is going to get jumped so get  your phones out in other words so that you could you know what a graphic her mom says she's also got lots of support we have pictures of the airport and yes which is lovely but but you know this and she's being protected now but the poor thing she's eleven years old she's already had seizures over this because the only real look coming out when you're eleven is you know quite a challenge but it's happening more and more and schools have to deal with it and then and in virginia there's a teacher named dean a person this is in chesterfield county and she says that administrator she'd been teaching for about ten years told her she was too masculine and the needed to be more feminine so she was harassed she was she was barr using the women's room at the school so he said teacher who can have you going into the women's room with those young girls she had a small stroke over this she is now suing the chesterfield county public schools for their discriminatory treatment she's married to another teacher in the harassment began when they learned that she was gay and that she was married and that's that's kind of what happens i understand when that happens in catholic schools they really go nuts but this is a public school and she was told oddly that she was too flamboyant and usually that's just use for the guys and intimidating so she's suing in iowa a district court has ruled that the university of iowa cannot penalize a school club the business leader is in christ club because they said we can have gay members but no gay people can be can hold leadership positions in our club but what the court said in this case i don't know that i can disagree if you have other clubs that are allowed to exclude on other protested bases that you can have a club you have on american students or whatever that you can you then you can't they're saying the policy was being applied on equally i thought all student groups had to welcome all comers and apparently they don't so if you're going to do it to some you can't just do it say to this one that you can you you can't discriminate well their problem was that they announced this they just not voted for a gay person  a leadership position they probably would have gotten away with it more but they in the end they won because because other clubs were allowed to exclude in nashville mayor david brierly side an executive order to help build g b t own businesses by helping them where they help women obese this is disabled businesses etc but they're also proposing a lot of bad bills in tennessee and one of them i think is really scary it's a bill that would ban same sex marriages on the grounds that the written tennessee law refuses to acknowledge same sex marriages even though the supreme court has legalized them so the plan is that they pass this law to ban same sex marriages clearly it will be taken to court and ruled inappropriate illegal whatever but then the sponsors of this law expect to take it up to the supreme court hoping for a decision from the newly really conservative court that puts back a states rights system or each state can decide what marriage is to legalize i would marry her to go burger phil yes it would and that's what they're after now this bill has been around for a couple of years the general assembly estimated in twenty seventeen it could cost nine billion dollars at last federal funding because of the way people are treated in health care as a result of this to having such a law so but there are the people doing this think they've got the winning strategy of taking this out of the supreme court and look the right wing has just had a preliminary victory on transgender people serving in the military and there is certainly no good reason to bar trans people from serving in the military every study has proved that their own service has proved it and yet the supreme court is allowing the trumpet administration temporarily to bar such service until a fuller case comes before them but justice roberts not a big fan did hold the law in all the louisiana abortion law and they for the moment they did not uphold that for the moment of course or it leonard is very concerned about the fact that the opponents of the new jersey bill banning conversion therapy for minors is headed for the supreme court and he says based on the way they're arguing it it doesn't bode well for us and yeah i think there's scary times ahead and whether or not william barr gets confirmed if you make an anti gay vote if you vote for any of these nominees then you're you know forget about us and he listed the republican senators who are up for reelection next year who could be vulnerable to a challenge from  democratic opponent and people like susan collins and there are a few others and we do have to get serious about that and we do have to challenge those people in the meantime not to put these people on the courts and not wait until the election next year but we definitely have to vote them out of office cory gardner in colorado certainly wouldn't do the gag a little bit jeff bezos story the person apparently spilled the beans about him was the gay brother of his mistress  was the brother i didn't know he was gay and he's a trump supporter oh yes yes a gay trump supporter yeah well speaking of the courts in texas we had a bad decision from the fifth circuit now we've had a mixture of decisions in the last few years from these federal courts about the sex discrimination laws and whether they include trans people and gay  lately we've been getting some good decisions about that although we're very concerned about what the supreme court will ultimately say but the fifth circuit which is texas and louisiana and mississippi thank you has decided in a title against so they lost that case but big religion story coming up next week next week and february twenty second through twenty seventh i think in st louis the united methodist church will be having a general convention and they are going to continue and i hope and the debate they've been having for a year is about ordaining openly l g b t q clergy performing same sex marriages just generally affirming homosexuality or variety of gender identities because there are codes there i've forgotten what they're there the critical church yes and they have very explicit condemnations of all these things so there has been a movement within the methodist church for change and they have several specific plans on the agenda that they're going to vote on next week and one is called the simple plan one is called the traditionalist plan it is a gift to be simple because a gift to be wise is this the worldwide church and certainly the united states i don't know but it  is a worldwide church and the big outfit in south it's huge but the question is whether they will allow for a local autonomy on these issues well you know it would be nice if you'd be nice to nicer to gay people because hate crimes in washington d c for instance were up one hundred percent against g b t people last week last year rather of course it's a trend across the country in the trump era well i think we should get to our favorite religion case cardinal spellman i couldn't believe this now lucian trust god is a veteran journalist he wrote a story about stonewall at the time for the village voice and he now wrote the story on salon that says when i was a west point cadet i what we all we were supposed to interview cardinal spellman at at the chancery in one nine hundred sixty seven i'm a student journalist essentially to dull but i'm a student journalist and when we got there and he said there were three or four people in the room every time i started asking questions he started moving his hand up my five towards mike watch and he wouldn't stop doing it the monsignor in the room doesn't you kidding i mean cardinal i read a story in fag rag a magazine called fact read boston years ago that said he went to a party and he can i say this on television he did everybody in the room they were all chorus  boys i'm not going to go into all the details of the story but that's the kind of that's the kind of how sexually active he was i think you can say performed oral sex on the right went on and on and on while the rest of the story is called me like you know the rest of the writing a new york times book about spellman is biography about him i was one of the sources for all the gay stories that i've been told from people with dignity i was a gay catholic at the time i told him all these stories and months senior cl archdiocese made it made a big fuss about it and there was a story in the times were cody had to pull back because none of the men that i'd spoken to would go on the record they were all gay guys secondhand they were all gay guys and they just wouldn't publish it so they just had to say there were rumors about his own sexuality he was notorious as as trust god says his nickname was married well i'd say they should write that book now but everybody's dead well trust god did say we tried to laugh it off at the time but he says i wish i had spoken out yet or i wish you'd spoken out how many recent you said no just not just bad not then but now in recent years because it might or he said it might have prevented some of the abuse this was such a high case of all the other things you know i'd love to think so but given the fact that the church even now is saying no we never heard of this i don't have great confidence and that was their law years that was two years before stonewall this is old stories in san francisco the police department is reopening a cold case from the one nine hundred seventy s of five gay men who were murdered they've released a sketch of a possible murderer and an audi him calling the cops and saying you know i think you'll find a dead body and such and such so if you think you might have any knowledge of this check this out on line with the cold case of the game murders in san francisco in the seventy's we've told you about a rise of anti gay tale g b t violence in austin so they formed a rainbow patrol there in response the in the tradition of the pink panthers and other community patrols so that's what they're trying to do to stop it by the way we're talking about legislation and it was a nice statistic from last year that twenty the only the bills to passed last year twenty one out of two hundred ten pro l g b t bills passed in state legislatures to one hundred  man who moved from georgia to colorado because he trans and he thought he'd get better medical care in colorado now there he is with his dog pay attention to that dog to this year asked his the company was working for whether their insurance would cover his gender reassignment surgery and they said yes no pre clearance required all fine he was having top surgery and so he goes in he has the surgery and then they tell him oh you're not covered you're almost thirty thousand dollars the insurance co there are eighty thousand dollars from this one of the doctors this of course left him distraught harrer fied in the meantime the dog gets sick and he's told the dog is going to require six thousand dollars for surgery he can't pay it and the dog died the a c l u is suing the employer for a certifying this and then withdrawing found that seventy seven percent of l g b t most meals are parents or are considering having children that's a forty four percent increase over the older generation oh those young people forty eight percent plan to grow their families as opposed to fifty five percent of non g b t q people an ounce meant the first national trans visibility march which had been scheduled for march thirty first in d c has been postponed it will be rescheduled probably in september but they just weren't ready in the end too much to do too much money to raise they were ready to do it so the weather will be better in september in orlando they just released the results of an investigation into the pulse massacre of twenty sixteen they are saying no victims of the shooting were hit when did or kill by friendly fire with the police even though  an incredible number of rounds were fired there were you know this is but they're clearing the officers of having you know of course the officers when they're in the dark and anything could have happened but that's what they are asserting at this point about drugs now they x to see these weren't huge amounts but they were clearly going to they were for the amounts for more than just for them they were going to sell them or give them away i am not sure which talked about all this government computer big mistake they got caught they did yeah i like the fact that ellen page took on chris pratt for his membership of the notoriously entail g b t church b s she said look opened two lesbians and their daughter who are suing for marriage rights under they have been they were married in the u k i think and the cayman islands are part of the commonwealth so they are but they're suing for marriage rights under the european convention of human rights so my question is when the u k gets out of practice and gets out of the european union what's going to happen with these commonwealth countries and their protection by the european convention of human rights horrible story out of algeria and we have a picture of a medical student twenty one years old was murdered in his dorm room in algiers is the walls were twenty one and he he posted on facebook that he was bisexual twenty one years old medical student dead terrible story  japan the town of opp sue will do a statistical analysis of school bowling they've recorded nine thousand complaints over six years and they're going to run this through a statistical analysis to try to establish patterns and reasons and methods and stuff be nice if they did something like that in this country but of course most billing doesn't get reported either well they also launched their first safe house in japan to support displaced people the homeless in tokyo and that's now they still haven't legalized same sex marriage they've got a long way to go but these are interesting movements on the bully and they want to get past just dealing by anecdote they want to take a more systematic  sure you have to you have to create an atmosphere for all kids and it will help them all in honduras they're having a huge fight in court over same sex marriage so here are a couple of lesbians out the court seen these countries are really in a tizzy over the in or american court mandating marriage all over central and south and ever since bad as the united states most in against women they cannot teach anything about feminism and there will be military control of many of the schools in cameroon a horrible story a gay couple was spotted having sex in the shop of one of them at a street  she shouted homo sexual all the sexual and the locals rushed the place and started throwing rocks the shopkeeper was killed the kid was brought into the local chieftain and things and try to decide what to do with  botswana on the other hand the new president there gave a speech supporting l g b t right after a trance woman was beaten by a mob last november and the high court there is hearing a challenge to the sodomy law and a decision on that is expected in march so tony abbott the right wing former prime minister of australia who has a lesbian sister was the leader of the fight against same sex marriage but now his against his district his district went seventy five percent in the referendum for same sex marriage so now he's trying to say i don't want to propose the referendum that's how it passed that's how it showed that people supported and that's how it passed i have stayed on the vote he's in danger of losing his seat so he's trying to act like he is responsible for same sex marriage in australia well why don't you tell us how we got an opponent is stupid and begin to do is you was a big help well this proposal of the referendum was an attempt to kill the movement for same sex marriage no gay people wanted the referendum because they thought it was too risky to put into a vote of the people but we won anyway because it was a brilliant campaign run by the same guy who helped legalize same sex marriage in ireland do you want to brady something like that and then went to australia and helped lead the winning campaign there but for tony abbott who campaigned against it you know hugely in spite of his lesbian sister to now say he's responsible let's go to facebook well i was going to go across the go ahead on there to new zealand where the prime minister just sinned ardern showed up at the big game out which is an anti hiv event she's been showing up there for years but this is the first time she was able to go as the prime minister of new zealand who's great she is great and she was celebrating the government providing perhaps to everybody lifting the cap on trans surgery they used to have  numbers cap on how many they would finance and she said they still need to get rid of conversion therapy mansion that speech from donald trump it's nice in spain to see that the victims of franco remember him general so speaking of religion in israel they have an ongoing fight about religious marriage ceremony versus others and only certain people are allowed to have religious marriage ceremonies and be actually officially married in israel and that does not include same sex couples or or people marrying outside the faith or any number of other things so to orthodox rabbis in an attempt to forestall a more progressive movement that would let everybody get married have proposed a scheme of civil unions for couples otherwise not allowed to marry legally so that they could give some benefits and acknowledge the relationships but they wouldn't table and there is more of a mix of people but this is clearly the head of the table and this is clearly a picture of the guys in charge and they the idea that this is the crowd that's going to end the epidemic is  not likely so h h s release there and in the aids in twenty thirty plan they say significant new resources are going to be put in after two years of cuts of course so it's only bringing us up to parity they want to reduce diagnoses by seventy five percent in five years ninety percent in ten years the cd see is targeting forty eight counties and seven states especially rural areas but you know the w getting forty thousand new infections in the united states a year and activists say these are empty gestures if you're not going to give the real resources and policies but i've got to make this work well first of all you have to d c statement people vulnerable me and all trump does all day long is stigmatize people vulnerable the hiv class which he's been robbing like the ryan white act money for other stuff and i'm sure that some of this money is going to end up building the wall against mexico cutting medicaid cutting medicare all the say is this it luck cutting off drugs it is possible that the secretary of health and human services who is otherwise collaborat the separation of children at the border and shipping them off to religious adoption agencies may have good intentions with this but it's just impossible to believe that this is going to go on but let's remind you of that figure seventy five percent they would like to reduce infections in five years and let's look at the united kingdom west has done now they play they pledge to end hiv transmission and ten years to and they have this thing they want to but they have found that new infections have fallen  forty forty percent in recent years surpassing the targets of ninety percent knowing their h l v status ninety percent knowing their h i b positive and accessing treatment and ninety percent treatment  undetectable the figures that they came up with on those fronts are ninety five percent ninety eight percent and ninety seven percent then doing amazing they're doing a terrific job but they are pledging to do more more money for prevention more attention to targeted communities and back here the american college health association has recommended that college health services make a big push to offer crap pre exposure pr truvada to their students on college campuses which i think is a great idea one of the reasons they were so successful in britain was because of dr mag's portman a hero to the l g b t n aids communities she really pushed access to she died of a rare cancer at the age of forty four mesothelioma she was the patients she worked for a cutting edge sexual health clinic she she was behind the proud study proving perhaps effectiveness you know that it could get to patients and set up fund for poor people who couldn't get it because the going to jess was dragging its rear on it so you know she was just a tremendous hero and the new york and new york state they've introduced the new health care act that they say is better than anything in the country if it were to pass we will see all right sorry about dr portman she died too young much to you and also disappearing as we move to more entertainment news place for people place for people to income to each other and in a place free of shame they had to subdue they were subjected to f b i raids they really spent some time i think they had to serve a sentence at one point for this because somebody ordered it from tennessee and they shi and then they got prosecuted for that but they lost a lot of staff to aides over the years but they hung in there and they were undone by amazon online porn things like that all right well the grammys and the grammys this certainly w of the woman at the grammys and some very sexy lesbian and bisexual women you know really stole the show chief among them brandi carlile now brandi carlile is regarded as an because i'm still listening to motown from the sixty's but viewer complained to me that when we talked about the grammy nominations i hadn't mentioned brandi carlile and so i came on the next week and mentioned turn pointed her out as a now lesbian married having the most nominations but i still you know i wasn't really familiar with her music well she they finally three hours into the telecast she comes out to perform and she brought down the house she was amazing and she has the strongest voice sure minds me a little of katie lying in the strength of her voice she is a power house and people just lost their minds they were so impressed the new york times said it was the best thing at the grammys it was stunning it was so good completely unexpected and the song she sang which is called the joke is about bully if you could look it up online we'd show it to you but our show always gets taken down off you tube if we show music videos so go to you tube and look up the joke by brandi carlile ca r l y l e and of course the other greats were out bisexual or pan sexual janelle monae who just couldn't be better she was so cool and the sexiest performance of the whole evening with two women st vincent and do a leap who did this st vincent song called mass adoption and they were just basically almost crawling all over each other but it was so good and so sexy and i just loved it  going straight for pe he is going to
