  Speaker 1: I'm Deirdre O'Kane.

  Speaker 2: I'm Eva Dord.

  Speaker 1: So keep it tight is basically the unfiltered chats that
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: we normally have in the WhatsApp.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: The kind of carry-on you'd screech off for your mate.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Maybe not your mum.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: No overthinking.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: We kind of just let it all out. And somehow,
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: people keep showing up to hear more. Follow Keep It
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Tight wherever you get your podcasts.

  Speaker 2: Now brought to you by Acast.

  Speaker 1: ACAST is home to the world's best podcasts, including Red Room,

  Speaker 1: Catch Up with Louise McSharry, and the one you're listening

  Speaker 1: to right now.

  Speaker 2: First though, the abuse of a gay couple and their
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: young son after the men shared pictures of their wedding online.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Stephen and Connor Bonilla Graham Darby recently got married in
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Liverpool in the UK after 15 years together, a day
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: where they felt safe and could really feel the love.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: But with the bedwetters out in force, about three quarters
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: of the comments under their photos were negative, including, of course,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: accusations of paedophilia. Stephen tells ITV News it's had a
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: massive impact.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: I felt broken. I felt like I put my family in.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Risk.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: So that's played a big, heavy weight on my shoulders.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: I'm fascinated that sharing our love online just becomes an
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: open platform for abuse. I just can't understand how that's normal.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: And now, understandably, the pair are more on their guard.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Does it make us more cautious about what we do
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: share online one million percent?
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: It was such a whirlwind of negativity that now any
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: positivity coming my way, I kind of get scared that
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: it'll be taken away from me.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: They're not going to be silenced, though.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: I'm still going to share our love. I'm still going
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: to share our existence. And I'm still going to share
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: what love and commitment truly looks like. And if people
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: have a problem with that, then I guess it's a
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: message to them that they need to realise that they
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: are the problem.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Yes. Yes, they are. Next, a rainbow bench installed at
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: the site of the Berlin Pride terror attack has been destroyed.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: It was part of a memorial at Tiergarten Park for
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: the woman killed and 31 people injured after a van
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: rammed into crowds on July 25th. The German capital's LGBTQ
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: plus commissioner says he's speechless and the queer community won't
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: be intimidated. And transgender people in the southern Indian state
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: of Tamil Nadu are getting more free bus travel. A
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: scheme allowing them to ride for nothing on government-run vehicles
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: is being expanded a month today to apply to more routes.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: It's meant for essential journeys like work, education and hospital visits,
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: with hopes this will help with social inclusion. If you
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: tell your friends about Pride Daily, they'll finally comprehend the
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: real you. That's your lot. I'll see you tomorrow.
