- 1:17Speaker 2: Hi there, I'm Kev McGrath. To celebrate Pride Daily's third birthday,
- 1:23Speaker 2: we're giving you a double dose all week with some
- 1:26Speaker 2: bonus queer cheer. the more upbeat side of LGBTQ plus
- 1:30Speaker 2: life from the year so far. Coming up, Renewable Jesus. First, though,
- 1:37Speaker 2: Queen Jean. You know, Queen Jean, the costume designer. Well,
- 1:42Speaker 2: she's become the first out transgender person ever to win
- 1:46Speaker 2: a Tony Award. They've been dished out to theatre productions
- 1:50Speaker 2: on New York's Broadway for the last 79 years. The
- 1:53Speaker 2: LGBTQ plus rights activist, who's originally from Haiti, got best
- 1:58Speaker 2: costume design of a musical for Cats, the Jellicle Ball.
- 2:02Speaker 2: We are here for the legacy of queer people, trans people.
- 2:05Speaker 7: We have to take up space.
- 2:07Speaker 2: We have to shift the paradigm.
- 2:09Speaker 7: The world right now is deeply, deeply combating so many ailments.
- 2:14Speaker 7: And we know as a society that when we come together,
- 2:17Speaker 7: we can make real, permanent change.
- 2:19Speaker 1: Thank you so much for this honour.
- 2:21Speaker 2: Thanks to CBS. Queen Jean made about 500 costumes for
- 2:25Speaker 2: the reimagining of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical Cats. This
- 2:29Speaker 2: new version is inspired by the queer ballroom culture of
- 2:34Speaker 2: 1980s Harlem. A number of her creations included references to
- 2:37Speaker 2: transgender pioneers like Sylvia Rivera, Marsha P. Johnson and Miss
- 2:43Speaker 2: Major Griffin Gracie. Pride Daily. More than a thousand people
- 2:47Speaker 2: have turned out for the third Dublin Dyke March. It's
- 2:51Speaker 2: chairpersons Alice Linen.
- 2:52Speaker 7: We're here today marching under the theme Resist and Persist,
- 2:56Speaker 7: which encompasses four key pillars. Standing strong against war and genocide,
- 3:01Speaker 7: countering the rise of the far right, fighting for parental
- 3:04Speaker 7: rights for same-sex couples and advocating for a fit-for-purpose trans
- 3:07Speaker 7: healthcare system.
- 3:10Speaker 2: Alice also explained to the crowd she'd made a special effort.
- 3:13Speaker 7: I'm really proud to say that I ironed my cargo
- 3:16Speaker 7: shorts for you today. CHEERING Not very successfully, not very successfully,
- 3:22Speaker 7: you can probably tell.
- 3:23Speaker 2: It's the thought that counts. The first Dublin Dyke March
- 3:26Speaker 2: was in 1998. Lust for power was the theme. Then
- 3:30Speaker 2: nothing for 27 years until it was resurrected last year.
- 3:34Speaker 8: Pride Daily.
- 3:37Speaker 2: To Croatia next, and a court's ruled, same-sex couples have
- 3:40Speaker 2: the right to adopt. All to do with a woman
- 3:43Speaker 2: who spent years fighting to be a legal parent of
- 3:46Speaker 2: her partner's child, something that wouldn't be an issue for
- 3:49Speaker 2: straight couples. A 2022 court ruling banned discrimination in the
- 3:54Speaker 2: adoption process, but the government's been ignoring it. That stops now,
- 3:59Speaker 2: and this latest decision by Zagreb's administrative court can't be appealed.
- 4:06Speaker 2: And Renewable Jesus has won this year's Campers Christmas Hunky
- 4:10Speaker 2: Jesus contest in San Francisco. It's run by the Sisters
- 4:14Speaker 2: of Perpetual Indulgence, a satirical order of drag queen nuns
- 4:18Speaker 2: who raise money for charity. Renewable Jesus had a wind
- 4:22Speaker 2: turbine in place of the cross and a crown of
- 4:24Speaker 2: solar panels rather than thorns. He beat off competition from
- 4:28Speaker 2: Cheez-It Jesus, who called himself the Holy Snackrament. Hi there,
- 4:35Speaker 2: I'm Kev McGrath. Double helpings of Pride Daily this week
- 4:38Speaker 2: to celebrate our third birthday. We're all about the more
- 4:42Speaker 2: upbeat side of LGBTQ plus life from the year so
- 4:45Speaker 2: far with some bonus queer cheer. Coming up, some scary
- 4:50Speaker 2: pride flags. First, though, a gay Muslim influencer in Berlin
- 4:56Speaker 2: and his inclusive Ramadan meal. Ali Darwish is known for
- 5:00Speaker 2: his videos highlighting the struggles of being queer and following Islam,
- 5:05Speaker 2: such as having no one to break your fast with
- 5:07Speaker 2: because family has disowned you. What saves the 33-year-old from
- 5:12Speaker 2: eating alone is when friends step up. He explains to
- 5:16Speaker 2: 15 pals sharing a meal with him, who are a
- 5:18Speaker 2: mix of Muslim, Christian, queer and straight, the importance of acceptance.
- 5:24Speaker 5: No matter where a person comes from, no matter who
- 5:26Speaker 5: that person loves, no matter how queer that person is,
- 5:30Speaker 5: they cannot be too queer and they cannot be right
- 5:33Speaker 5: or wrong. because they are exactly as they should be.
- 5:36Speaker 5: And that is why I am delighted that we are
- 5:39Speaker 5: able to be here today and we say bismillah and
- 5:41Speaker 5: bon appetit.
- 5:43Speaker 2: Thanks to AP. Ali's German with Palestinian and Lebanese heritage.
- 5:48Speaker 2: He's got nearly 140,000 followers on TikTok and Instagram. Pride Daily. Next,
- 5:55Speaker 2: the 81-year-old nun who's helping Catholic parents in America to
- 6:00Speaker 2: support their transgender children. Sister Nancy Corcoran from the Sisters
- 6:05Speaker 2: of St. Joseph of Carondola in Missouri has weekly dinners
- 6:09Speaker 2: where mums and dads get together. It's all about how
- 6:12Speaker 2: to affirm their kids so they can live their best lives.
- 6:15Speaker 9: They come for supper at the mother house and they
- 6:18Speaker 9: sit around and they help one another. They share their story.
- 6:22Speaker 2: Sister Nancy was clueless about all things transgender until she
- 6:26Speaker 2: decided to educate herself a decade ago, spent two years
- 6:30Speaker 2: traveling the U.S., going to trans conferences. Now she speaks
- 6:34Speaker 2: up on the failure of the Catholic Church to recognize
- 6:37Speaker 2: gender transition.
- 6:38Speaker 9: I tell the parents, you know, as a Roman Catholic nun,
- 6:42Speaker 9: I say the church is wrong. And I also let
- 6:45Speaker 9: my bishop know everything I'm doing.
- 6:47Speaker 2: Thanks to the Kelly Kitley podcast. Sister Nancy's archdiocese doesn't
- 6:52Speaker 2: officially endorse what she's doing, but it doesn't stand in
- 6:55Speaker 2: the way either.
- 6:56Speaker 1: Pride Daily.
- 6:58Speaker 2: Italy's first LGBTQ plus nightclub is the focus of a
- 7:02Speaker 2: new documentary. Kinky, with an I at the end, was
- 7:06Speaker 2: born in 1975 and initially had a men-only policy. Same
- 7:10Speaker 2: as me, but I've maintained mine. It was described as
- 7:13Speaker 2: a theatre of experimentation and transgression. Even back then it
- 7:18Speaker 2: had three bathrooms for men, women and ex, forward thinking.
- 7:23Speaker 2: Kinky closed down in 2018. The documentary's on Prime if
- 7:28Speaker 2: you want to watch it. And a pathetic Christian man-baby
- 7:34Speaker 2: who reckons he's got a phobia of pride flags, oh
- 7:38Speaker 2: spare me, has lost his religious discrimination case. Evangelical Bible
- 7:44Speaker 2: basher Mark Jennings accepted a job at a UK government
- 7:48Speaker 2: department two years ago, but after his demands not to
- 7:52Speaker 2: have to be around LGBTQ plus symbols were refused, he
- 7:56Speaker 2: turned down the role and got legal. The Bedwetters tried
- 8:00Speaker 2: pulling the same stunt with a bank previously, and that
- 8:03Speaker 2: was left out of court as well.
- 8:08Speaker 10: There are silent conversations that happen on our roads every day.
- 8:12Speaker 10: between drivers and older pedestrians like me. When we catch
- 8:16Speaker 10: each other's eye to say, do you see me? Or,
- 8:19Speaker 10: I'm crossing. But when people don't look out for each other,
- 8:23Speaker 10: those connections can be missed. And so can I.
- 8:26Speaker 11: Too many older pedestrians are being killed on our roads.
- 8:29Speaker 11: When we look out for each other, we keep each
- 8:32Speaker 11: other safe. Please look out for older pedestrians. From the
- 8:35Speaker 11: Road Safety Authority, visit rsa.ie.
- 8:38Speaker 12: Tell me about PRSI.
- 8:40Speaker 5: Does my boss have to give me sick pay?

- 9:11Speaker 2: Hi there, I'm Kev McGrath. To celebrate Pride Daily's third birthday,
- 9:17Speaker 2: we're giving you a double dose all week with some
- 9:20Speaker 2: bonus queer cheer. The more upbeat side of LGBTQ plus
- 9:25Speaker 2: life from the year so far. Coming up, why Jennifer
- 9:28Speaker 2: Garner's got big love for Simon. First though, here's one
- 9:33Speaker 2: way to go about getting pregnant in a same-sex relationship.
- 9:38Speaker 2: Australian TV presenter Narelda Jacobs has been married to wife
- 9:42Speaker 2: Karina Nat since August 2024 and had daughter Sana a
- 9:47Speaker 2: year ago. The baby was conceived using the turkey baster method,
- 9:51Speaker 2: which doesn't actually involve said kitchen utensil. It's a plastic syringe,
- 9:55Speaker 2: but anyway, you need someone to fill it. And that's
- 9:59Speaker 2: where their friend Mitch came in so to speak.
- 10:02Speaker 11: It was Mardi Gras 2024.
- 10:04Speaker 4: We were on the dance floor at 3am and I
- 10:06Speaker 4: said to Karina, go and ask him.
- 10:09Speaker 1: It was just like, oh, there's Mitch and like the spotlight.
- 10:12Speaker 6: Is on him.
- 10:13Speaker 2: So how to ask such an important, life-changing question.
- 10:18Speaker 12: I was like, can we have your sperm?
- 10:20Speaker 2: You want a perm? Yeah.
- 10:21Speaker 7: Can we make a baby? And he just said yes.
- 10:24Speaker 6: And then I was like, come over, come over.
- 10:26Speaker 12: And then we all hugged and cried and I think
- 10:29Speaker 12: we got kicked out of loose ends at about 4am.
- 10:32Speaker 2: Thanks to ABC's Ladies We Need To Talk podcast, Narelda
- 10:37Speaker 2: and Karina are Sana's main parents, with Mitch a regular
- 10:40Speaker 2: presence in the baby's life. A national LGBTQ plus monument's
- 10:47Speaker 2: officially opened in Canada. Thunderhead, I'll explain the name in
- 10:51Speaker 2: a bit, is near Parliament Hill in Ottawa. and honours
- 10:54Speaker 2: victims of the government's queer purge between the 1950s and 1990s.
- 11:00Speaker 2: They saw maybe close to 10,000 LGBTQ plus people kicked
- 11:04Speaker 2: out of the armed forces, the mounted police and their
- 11:07Speaker 2: government jobs, ruining lives. Writer Ivan Coyote spoke at the
- 11:12Speaker 2: opening ceremony.
- 11:13Speaker 8: We are standing here looking at the queerest monument in
- 11:18Speaker 8: the world. Because we need... to remember. We need to
- 11:25Speaker 8: never forget that this monument is meant to honour people
- 11:30Speaker 8: who did not live long enough for us to make
- 11:34Speaker 8: things right.
- 11:36Speaker 2: Thanks to APTN News, the monument's design is inspired by
- 11:40Speaker 2: the Thunderhead Cloud and according to Canada's Indigenous Two-Spirit people,
- 11:45Speaker 2: its storms renew the land and make things right. Plus,
- 11:50Speaker 2: a nice touch, there's thousands of mirrored tiles inside the
- 11:53Speaker 2: 30-foot tall cylinder to make you think of disco balls.
- 12:01Speaker 2: All nine people have showed up for a protest against
- 12:04Speaker 2: Pride events in Brest in the west of France. Two
- 12:08Speaker 2: far-right groups called Reconquest and Vigilant Parents weren't happy about
- 12:13Speaker 2: a diversity workshop and a drag queen story hour for children.
- 12:17Speaker 2: 200 allies turned out for a counter-protest, leading to complaints
- 12:22Speaker 2: from the faint-hearted fascists because they reckon people were calling
- 12:25Speaker 2: them homophobic. Oh, diddums. How libelous. And Jennifer Garner says Love, Simons,
- 12:34Speaker 2: the most important film she's ever made. The 53-year-old played
- 12:38Speaker 2: the mum of a schoolboy coming out as gay in
- 12:41Speaker 2: the 2018 story and reckons she struggles to talk about
- 12:45Speaker 2: it without getting emotional. says she had to be a
- 12:48Speaker 2: part of the movie because of its positive message and
- 12:51Speaker 2: her joining the cast actually helped to get the film funded.
- 12:56Speaker 2: Hi there, I'm Kev McGrath. Double helpings of Pride Daily
- 13:03Speaker 2: this week to celebrate our third birthday. We're all about
- 13:06Speaker 2: the more upbeat side of LGBTQ plus life from the
- 13:09Speaker 2: year so far with some bonus queer cheer. Coming up,
- 13:14Speaker 2: two lesbian nuns. first though. Don't know if Harry Potter's
- 13:20Speaker 2: wicked grandma was a fan of democracy before the weekend,
- 13:24Speaker 2: but Scotland's parliamentary elections have seen a transgender candidate win
- 13:30Speaker 2: a seat, and it's in the Edinburgh and Lothian Zeese
- 13:33Speaker 2: region where the author lives.
- 13:35Speaker 6: My name is Dr Akhil Manavanan. I am a transgender
- 13:38Speaker 6: Tamil immigrant. My pronouns are they, them. I am, to
- 13:44Speaker 6: some in this country, everything that the hateful despise, and
- 13:47Speaker 6: I'm standing here as your MSP now with care. And
- 13:50Speaker 6: this is what diversity looks like in power.
- 13:54Speaker 2: Dr Q is one of two newly elected trans MSPs,
- 13:58Speaker 2: both from the Green Party, Scotland's first transgender lawmakers, and
- 14:03Speaker 2: what with grandma's well-documented gender-critical views, she'll be absolutely cock-a-hoop.
- 14:10Speaker 1: Pride Daily.
- 14:11Speaker 2: Argentinian footballer Ignacio Largo has come out as gay, but
- 14:16Speaker 2: it actually happened eight months ago. The Colón de Santa
- 14:19Speaker 2: Fe winger was on a TV show last year and
- 14:22Speaker 2: a surprise video message was played to him. It featured
- 14:25Speaker 2: his boyfriend, Gonzalo.
- 14:28Speaker 5: Hey honey, I hope you like the surprise. All I
- 14:31Speaker 5: can do is congratulate you and thank you for being
- 14:34Speaker 5: such an excellent person. You're such a professional. I know
- 14:39Speaker 5: how much effort you put into this. I know you
- 14:41Speaker 5: have a dream and I love you very much. I'm
- 14:44Speaker 5: sending you a huge kiss and thank you for defending
- 14:47Speaker 5: the colours of my city.
- 14:49Speaker 2: The clip's finally making headlines, even though it's been hiding
- 14:52Speaker 2: in plain sight for absolutely ages. Largo's the first Argentine
- 14:57Speaker 2: player to publicly come out.
- 14:59Speaker 1: Pride Daily.
- 15:00Speaker 2: $ 90, 000 has been raised for a transgender student who it's
- 15:05Speaker 2: claimed has been cut off by his parents after coming out.
- 15:09Speaker 2: Matthew Enns had to leave his campus housing at Massachusetts
- 15:13Speaker 2: Institute of Technology in the US just weeks before graduation
- 15:18Speaker 2: due to being the offspring of bigots who've withdrawn their
- 15:21Speaker 2: financial support. They sound nice. He's found somewhere to crash
- 15:26Speaker 2: for now, while thanks to a GoFundMe, His housing and
- 15:29Speaker 2: tuition debts are covered and he's back on track to graduate.
- 15:34Speaker 2: And two lesbian nuns have sacked off life in the
- 15:39Speaker 2: convent and got married. Francilia Costa and Luisa Silveira met
- 15:43Speaker 2: in Brazil six years ago and they didn't actually get
- 15:46Speaker 2: on at first. Each thought the other was stuck up.
- 15:49Speaker 2: After both suffered mental health issues, they quit the nunnery
- 15:53Speaker 2: and ended up house-sharing as friends. Feelings started to be
- 15:56Speaker 2: felt and they ultimately tied the knot last year.
- 16:15Speaker 3: At Specsavers, that's where we come in. At participating stores,
- 16:18Speaker 3: we've partnered with Medical Optics and their team of eye
- 16:21Speaker 3: doctors to provide access to care for things like glaucoma
- 16:24Speaker 3: and macular degeneration. Together, our vision is to protect yours.
- 16:29Speaker 3: Find a store at specsavers.ie slash medicaloptics.
- 16:35Speaker 2: Hi there, I'm Kev McGrath. To celebrate Pride Daily's third birthday,
- 16:41Speaker 2: we're giving you a double dose all week with some
- 16:44Speaker 2: bonus queer cheer, the more upbeat side of LGBTQ plus
- 16:49Speaker 2: life from the year so far. This is the last
- 16:52Speaker 2: of it. And coming up, we're all aboard the Twinktanic. First, though,
- 16:58Speaker 2: a gay teenager's school graduation speech is going viral. and
- 17:02Speaker 2: there was a hint of what was to come from
- 17:05Speaker 2: the off.
- 17:05Speaker 8: My name is Daniel Mattingly, and apparently this school doesn't
- 17:08Speaker 8: know better than to give an angry gay kid a microphone.
- 17:11Speaker 2: Dan the Man there, from Stuart Middle School in Kentucky
- 17:14Speaker 2: in America. The eighth grader, so age 13 or 14,
- 17:18Speaker 2: lost both his parents to cancer. He wanted to talk
- 17:21Speaker 2: about grief and trauma and how it doesn't have to
- 17:24Speaker 2: shape you. Would have touched on the trauma of oppression
- 17:27Speaker 2: suffered by young people because of their identities.
- 17:31Speaker 3: But.
- 17:32Speaker 2: After telling the audience earlier drafts of his speech were
- 17:35Speaker 2: censored for being too negative, he blummin' well went for it.
- 17:39Speaker 11: This school is built on racism, sexism and homophobia. I
- 17:42Speaker 11: encourage everyone here.
- 17:44Speaker 7: Today to stand up for yourself, even if it makes
- 17:46Speaker 7: you sick.
- 17:47Speaker 8: This school is f * * * ing.
- 17:49Speaker 5: Ridiculous.
- 17:50Speaker 2: Daniel says teachers had told him to speak from the heart,
- 17:54Speaker 2: so he did. Next, an update on classic queer film Priscilla,
- 18:00Speaker 2: Queen of the Desert's next instalment from one of its stars,
- 18:03Speaker 2: Guy Pearce.
- 18:04Speaker 1: Well, the sequel, right, which is going to be 2020,
- 18:07Speaker 1: what are we now, 26?
- 18:09Speaker 3: We'll probably shoot it 27, it'll come out 28.
- 18:12Speaker 2: Are you going to get in the same shape for
- 18:14Speaker 2: it as you did last time?
- 18:16Speaker 4: How dare you?
- 18:17Speaker 2: Thanks to ABC News, the first film back in 1994
- 18:21Speaker 2: saw Guy co-star alongside Hugo Weaving and Taron Stampp There's
- 18:26Speaker 2: two drag queens and a transgender woman crossing the Australian
- 18:29Speaker 2: desert in a tour bus. Stamp died last year, aged 87,
- 18:34Speaker 2: but he's still in the sequel because he actually shot
- 18:36Speaker 2: all his new scenes two months before he passed away.
- 18:39Speaker 2: The Catholic bishops told an LGBTQ plus conference homosexuality is
- 18:46Speaker 2: neither a sin nor an illness. See, that is someone
- 18:50Speaker 2: who knows his audience. Roel Vera Lopez has been speaking
- 18:54Speaker 2: at a meeting of the Catholic Rainbow Network of Mexico
- 18:58Speaker 2: and believes sexual identity is an inherent condition of human
- 19:01Speaker 2: nature that must be understood and respected. Also said being
- 19:05Speaker 2: gay is not a perversion, which I'm slightly disappointed about.
- 19:09Speaker 2: Felt a bit more rock and roll as a pervert.
- 19:11Speaker 2: And Lopez has doubled down following criticism, labelling himself a brother,
- 19:16Speaker 2: pastor and friend of queer people.
- 19:19Speaker 1: Pride Daily.
- 19:20Speaker 2: And we'll wrap up with a queer, not-safe-for-work reimagining of Titanic.
- 19:26Speaker 2: Stephen Lewis wrote Twinktanic, which you can find on Amazon,
- 19:30Speaker 2: while recovering from having a brain tumour removed. Says he
- 19:33Speaker 2: was on a lot of painkillers while he worked on it.
- 19:36Speaker 2: The train driver from Nottinghamshire in the UK has come
- 19:38Speaker 2: up with a racy, tongue-in-cheek parody, which his friends have
- 19:42Speaker 2: described as unhinged, but brilliant. There's more on our socials,
- 19:47Speaker 2: at Pride Daily Pod, including any breaking news. that's your
- 19:51Speaker 2: lot i'll see you next week
