- 0:56Speaker 2: with Scott Jacobson, who'll be joining us live from Kiev
- 0:59Speaker 2: in the u Ukraine, where he's got other things to
- 1:02Speaker 2: worry about, them gay things, but he is still taking
- 1:05Speaker 2: time to do that. He sent me some stories and
- 1:08Speaker 2: we're going to start with one from me that he
- 1:11Speaker 2: probably doesn't know about because it's US based. But I'm
- 1:13Speaker 2: not done talking about it yet. I've been talking about it, talking, talking,
- 1:17Speaker 2: talking about it all week and I'm going to continue.
- 1:21Speaker 2: So here is good.
- 1:22Speaker 4: Hellos, God, Hello and welcome.
- 1:26Speaker 2: Hello Ukraine, Slava, Ukraine, Slava Ukraine, all of that. Yes, welcome,
- 1:31Speaker 2: I mean at least you're well enough to be here
- 1:34Speaker 2: with us, which is exciting. All right, let's start this
- 1:38Speaker 2: Gay Week with I know it's the United States, but
- 1:40Speaker 2: it applies to international. So let's start this week with
- 1:44Speaker 2: a story yet or two days ago, now the House
- 1:46Speaker 2: of Representatives here in the United States, which hasn't seemed
- 1:49Speaker 2: to be able to do anything right past a funding
- 1:53Speaker 2: measure for defense spending and other things, but of course
- 1:58Speaker 2: they had to tack on five and gay writers to it.
- 2:02Speaker 2: It is now in the Senate. Will they be stripped?
- 2:04Speaker 2: About a fifty to sixty percent chance they will be,
- 2:07Speaker 2: but they're still a forty to fifty percent chance they
- 2:09Speaker 2: won't be. What are those writers? I'm going to tell
- 2:12Speaker 2: you and tell Scott right now so then we can
- 2:14Speaker 2: discuss them. First of all, a ban on pride flags
- 2:17Speaker 2: and all US diplomatic facilities around the globe prohibits federal
- 2:22Speaker 2: funds from being used to fly pride flags over US embassies, consulates,
- 2:26Speaker 2: and other covered federal facilities. Number two, restrictions on LGBTQ
- 2:31Speaker 2: diplomatic positions limits funding for special envoys, representatives, or coordinators
- 2:37Speaker 2: focused on LGBTQ rights unless Congress has specifically authorized those positions.
- 2:43Speaker 2: This could affect future LGBTQ human rights envoy positions across
- 2:47Speaker 2: the globe. Number three banning on funding organizations that provide
- 2:51Speaker 2: or promote gender affirming care. This bar is certain State
- 2:55Speaker 2: department funding from going to organizations worldwide that proved or
- 3:00Speaker 2: promote gender affirming care for transgendered people worldwide. FYI trans
- 3:06Speaker 2: global gag rule amazing they use the word gag in
- 3:10Speaker 2: anything gay related since we don't have a reflex prevents
- 3:14Speaker 2: US foreign assistance from going to any organization that advocates
- 3:20Speaker 2: for transgendered rights or in some circumstances even recognizes transgendered
- 3:25Speaker 2: identities in their programming overseas. So not only any organization
- 3:31Speaker 2: that deals with transgendered rights, but any organization that even
- 3:35Speaker 2: recognizes that trans people exist. And a dei global gag
- 3:41Speaker 2: rule restricts foreign assistance funding for any organization across the
- 3:46Speaker 2: globe engaged in diversity, equity, inclusion, or anti discriminatory initiatives
- 3:52Speaker 2: involving race, sex, gender ideology, or similar issues abroad. Now,
- 3:58Speaker 2: these are not law yet. The Senate has to vote
- 4:01Speaker 2: on them, and then the President has to sign them
- 4:02Speaker 2: and all of that.
- 4:04Speaker 5: Uh.
- 4:04Speaker 2: But Scott, let's start with this because it is global,
- 4:10Speaker 2: the the global gag order and such. This directly controverts
- 4:17Speaker 2: the EU laws and the EU Charter, which has lesbian,
- 4:21Speaker 2: gay trans writes in it, so right the UN Charter.
- 4:26Speaker 2: So what this is effectively saying is if this passes,
- 4:30Speaker 2: the United States will not be able to do business
- 4:32Speaker 2: with anyone in the UK or any member of the UN,
- 4:34Speaker 2: basically because it requires them to disavow gays, disavow DEI,
- 4:41Speaker 2: and not even acknowledge that trans people exist. These five writers,
- 4:49Speaker 2: as they're called, I I can't tell you how appalling
- 4:54Speaker 2: this is to me. Uh and more importantly, how does
- 4:59Speaker 2: how do they I think that the world? You know,
- 5:02Speaker 2: this is what we what we say every week, the
- 5:06Speaker 2: United States sets the tone for hatred. Do you know
- 5:10Speaker 2: right now, right now, we are number twelve in Sierra Leone,
- 5:14Speaker 2: Number twelve for the podcast do you know where Cierra?
- 5:18Speaker 2: Do you know where that is?
- 5:21Speaker 4: A is a West.
- 5:23Speaker 2: It's right next to a country that we have talked
- 5:27Speaker 2: about quite a bit, Senegal. Yeah, and so as we
- 5:34Speaker 2: talk about Senegal and other African nations, you know, we're
- 5:39Speaker 2: number twelve in Sierra Leone, probably because the fourteen fags
- 5:43Speaker 2: that live there. You know, we're the only thing they
- 5:44Speaker 2: can hear. But but when.
- 5:48Speaker 6: We come back, I want to say, really, daily, you're
- 5:53Speaker 6: missing out. Get the podcast videos in the blog, including
- 5:56Speaker 6: recipes at really Correll dot com. That's re leag k
- 6:00Speaker 6: A r e l dot com.
- 6:03Speaker 1: Show Time is here. No time to fear Correll is
- 6:08Speaker 1: so near because show time is here.
- 6:10Speaker 2: So on with the show.
- 6:12Speaker 7: Let's give it a go.
- 6:14Speaker 1: Corell is the one.
- 6:16Speaker 7: That you need to know.
- 6:19Speaker 2: So I went with Scott Jacobson with the good Man
- 6:22Speaker 2: Project and Rebel Rabbel, Rumble Whatever and many other publications.
- 6:28Speaker 2: Very busy in the Ukraine right now doing all kinds
- 6:30Speaker 2: of human rights stories and all that, which he'll catch
- 6:33Speaker 2: us up with at the end. But how do you
- 6:37Speaker 2: see this playing out if the Senate were to pass this?
- 6:43Speaker 5: I mean basically this three ways the United States tends
- 6:46Speaker 5: to impact world affairs are getting LGBT. One internal political
- 6:53Speaker 5: turmoil that's at the tone to what you're saying before.
- 6:56Speaker 5: Two policy changes and financing changes that derivatively affect the globe.
- 7:02Speaker 5: And then third direct funding cuts of based ideological stances
- 7:07Speaker 5: of typically conservative religious types that then impact is like Ghana,
- 7:11Speaker 5: You're Ganda or right.
- 7:13Speaker 2: So the EU and the UN are not going to
- 7:15Speaker 2: change their charters just because of this law, but smaller countries,
- 7:19Speaker 2: but smaller countries, African nations, other countries, they will. In
- 7:26Speaker 2: other words, they'll say, look, we can't recognize gay people
- 7:29Speaker 2: because then we can't do business with the United States.
- 7:32Speaker 2: And this is exactly what I spoke about when we
- 7:34Speaker 2: spoke about Senegal, until the United States says that in
- 7:38Speaker 2: order to do business with us, you must recognize these people.
- 7:41Speaker 2: And now it's going the exact other way. It's saying,
- 7:45Speaker 2: if you recognize these people, we won't do business with you.
- 7:47Speaker 2: And that's only going to give places in Africa and
- 7:52Speaker 2: the Middle East more incentive to harm gays in terms
- 7:56Speaker 2: of taking away their rights and their recognition because there's
- 8:00Speaker 2: money in it. And now we can do business with
- 8:03Speaker 2: the Trump administration, you know, if we get rid of
- 8:05Speaker 2: our DEI, we can do business with Trump, you know.
- 8:09Speaker 5: And that's why the United States, I mean Mark Roubet,
- 8:14Speaker 5: not particularly an idiot, probably among them, a coherent of
- 8:17Speaker 5: this current administration, but his current frame was recently hosting
- 8:21Speaker 5: this big conference on combating whether they're terming far left
- 8:25Speaker 5: terrorism and saying it was underemphasized Hunter.
- 8:28Speaker 2: By the way, Hunter Biden basically called him gay. No
- 8:33Speaker 2: Hunter Biden was on with Don Lemon and Don Lemon
- 8:36Speaker 2: asked Hunter Biden, who no longer gives two fucks about anything.
- 8:39Speaker 2: Don Lemon asked Hunter Biden, why do you think Republicans
- 8:43Speaker 2: are so anti gay? And he said, it is no
- 8:46Speaker 2: secret there is a closeted gay cabal in Washington.
- 8:49Speaker 5: D c uh.
- 8:51Speaker 2: He goes, I've been there with my father for my
- 8:54Speaker 2: entire life. He goes, I'm speaking firsthand. I am not
- 8:57Speaker 2: spreading gossip, he said, And I have the Republican Party.
- 9:02Speaker 2: There is this closeted gay cabal of self hating gays
- 9:06Speaker 2: who make this legislation and do these kinds of things
- 9:09Speaker 2: because they are so self loathing. And when Don Lemon said,
- 9:12Speaker 2: we'll give us names, and he said, I'm not going
- 9:14Speaker 2: to do that, and Hunter and Don Lemon's pushing him,
- 9:17Speaker 2: pushing him, saying, come on, give it, you know, give
- 9:19Speaker 2: us names. He goes, no, I'm not going to do that.
- 9:21Speaker 2: He goes, what do you want me to say that
- 9:22Speaker 2: Marco Rubio is gay? I don't know that he is.
- 9:25Speaker 2: And then he gave all these names. He goes that
- 9:27Speaker 2: Mike Johnson is gay. But he gave the names of
- 9:30Speaker 2: people that the rumors have circled about. Now. The one
- 9:34Speaker 2: that he confirmed was Lindsay Graham. He was like, of
- 9:36Speaker 2: course Lindsay Graham was gay. We all knew he was gay,
- 9:39Speaker 2: that there was. It was not a you know, it
- 9:41Speaker 2: was not a secret, you know. And yet he wrote
- 9:44Speaker 2: these antigay requisitions, so you know, he said, well, why
- 9:47Speaker 2: wouldn't these people come out? And you mentioned Marco Rubio.
- 9:51Speaker 2: He he eluded that an openly gay secretary of State
- 9:56Speaker 2: may not float well with Russia or China now or
- 10:01Speaker 2: you know, other countries. So even if Marco Rubio were gay,
- 10:06Speaker 2: he would never come out because it would harm the
- 10:09Speaker 2: position that he's in.
- 10:11Speaker 5: Going to be meeting the Russian representatives for minister yeah tomorrow, I.
- 10:16Speaker 2: Think about your little war going on there. So and
- 10:21Speaker 2: let's let's switch to Ukraine. You were telling me a
- 10:23Speaker 2: story before we started, which I sort of I don't
- 10:27Speaker 2: want to say, laughed at because you were so shocked
- 10:30Speaker 2: at the cruelty and the absurdity. And I was just like, oh,
- 10:33Speaker 2: you are new to the gay news, aren't you. H
- 10:37Speaker 2: But I guess in Ukraine, there was an incident where
- 10:40Speaker 2: someone that was gay or supported gay's had like pigs
- 10:44Speaker 2: heads brought to their doorstep.
- 10:47Speaker 4: You could say, brought in in one manner of.
- 10:49Speaker 2: Speaking, well, hurled at, thrown two.
- 10:55Speaker 5: So okay, So this is from pink News. Pig Heads
- 10:59Speaker 5: were into the Key beauty salon g Dot Bar over
- 11:04Speaker 5: public support of LGBTQ plus people. It's on Lessi, Ukraine,
- 11:09Speaker 5: ky Boulevard and Key. The building steps were doused with blood.
- 11:16Speaker 5: The salons of management reported on Instagram. The tech took
- 11:19Speaker 5: place yesterday July twenty. First, I have something in communication.
- 11:23Speaker 5: If they're open to talking about a little more with
- 11:26Speaker 5: a foreign journalist.
- 11:28Speaker 2: Now I have to ask. I have to ask this
- 11:30Speaker 2: because I have been gay a long time and I've
- 11:32Speaker 2: gone through a lot of hate crimes and seen a
- 11:34Speaker 2: lot of hate crimes. But in America we kind of
- 11:37Speaker 2: don't use pigs heads, I think because they eat them.
- 11:40Speaker 2: But is a pighead sort of a derogatory thing? I mean,
- 11:45Speaker 2: were these people? I mean, why why pigs heads? Why?
- 11:49Speaker 5: You know, Well, one way that has been documented in
- 11:54Speaker 5: an ill treatment. I don't know if labeled torturent in
- 11:57Speaker 5: the ill treatment of some must them captives in some conflicts. Yeah,
- 12:03Speaker 5: has been to feed.
- 12:05Speaker 2: Them pork grab We terrorized the Muslims with with pork
- 12:10Speaker 2: and pigs heads and pigs blood and all of that. Yeah,
- 12:15Speaker 2: I just wondered if maybe the salon owner might have
- 12:17Speaker 2: been Muslim, because that that's interesting.
- 12:20Speaker 5: It's it's I mean, it's an it would it would
- 12:23Speaker 5: be an interesting speculation that wouldn't necessarily be unreasonable.
- 12:28Speaker 4: But I mean, is this kind.
- 12:29Speaker 2: Of anti gay violins typical for Kiev or No.
- 12:34Speaker 5: I would say that I haven't encountered individuals who do
- 12:39Speaker 5: harbor openly homophobic views.
- 12:43Speaker 2: So yes, that is what you're saying.
- 12:46Speaker 5: More than Canada, and Canada has a large Ukrainian population,
- 12:51Speaker 5: maybe three or so percent.
- 12:53Speaker 2: Well, you know, now your stuff is fifty percent more
- 12:56Speaker 2: expensive for us because trumps mattat your smoke. Did you
- 13:01Speaker 2: see that over there? Because you're over there, yeah.
- 13:04Speaker 5: Yeah, no, And we helped with the biggest fires you had,
- 13:07Speaker 5: and then we're just being gaslet.
- 13:10Speaker 2: Yeah, you have big fires, we charge you fifty percent
- 13:13Speaker 2: more on your goods. We have big fires, you help
- 13:15Speaker 2: us out. That sort of explains the difference between governments
- 13:19Speaker 2: and tone of the people, doesn't it. Well, I'm really sorry.
- 13:23Speaker 2: First of all, if you get these people, I'd love
- 13:26Speaker 2: to talk to them, actually bring them on, have them
- 13:28Speaker 2: come to our segment. And second of all, you must
- 13:32Speaker 2: extend to them from this American fag to stay strong,
- 13:37Speaker 2: to not let this kind of ridiculousness get to them,
- 13:41Speaker 2: and to render those pigs heads and make some tacos
- 13:45Speaker 2: or something, because you know it's it's just look, I Scott,
- 13:51Speaker 2: we have we don't speak off air, which we should,
- 13:54Speaker 2: but we don't because you're busy and the time difference
- 13:57Speaker 2: and all of that. But this week I've had trouble
- 14:01Speaker 2: on my show or in life. Just I've had a
- 14:05Speaker 2: rough week. I had some friends at the park as
- 14:09Speaker 2: I engaged a MAGA person. They just sort of didn't
- 14:13Speaker 2: want to deal with it and walked away. Instead of
- 14:15Speaker 2: backing me up or whatever, they just and that really
- 14:18Speaker 2: hurt me. I'm like, you know, I'm sitting here talking
- 14:21Speaker 2: to this MAGA person trying to tell them why they're
- 14:23Speaker 2: an asshole, and I know how you guys feel, but
- 14:27Speaker 2: instead of backing me up on this, you just off
- 14:30Speaker 2: you go. And there's been some other things going on
- 14:33Speaker 2: in terms of the gay These five writers going onto
- 14:37Speaker 2: this bill and no one in the news making a
- 14:39Speaker 2: huge deal of it. This is one of the few
- 14:41Speaker 2: shows that's talking about it. The HRC posted about it,
- 14:45Speaker 2: Glad posted about it, but that was it. You search
- 14:48Speaker 2: for gay news, you probably didn't see this story about
- 14:52Speaker 2: these five writers on this funding bill, which actually passed
- 14:55Speaker 2: our House already, it's already waiting in the Senate. So
- 14:59Speaker 2: it's been rough for me because I have another gay
- 15:02Speaker 2: friend who is like, oh, I don't pay attention to
- 15:04Speaker 2: any of that stuff, and you know, you paid too
- 15:06Speaker 2: much attention to it. You really need a husband, you know,
- 15:09Speaker 2: to take all your mind off of this. And I
- 15:11Speaker 2: just thought, no, apathy is not the answer here. But
- 15:16Speaker 2: I you know, I don't want to coin the phrase
- 15:20Speaker 2: from the movie Resistance is feudal. But it's almost looking
- 15:24Speaker 2: like in terms of the United States at least, that
- 15:28Speaker 2: they're going to get their way. They're they're going to
- 15:31Speaker 2: they're coming for same sex marriage. A pastor that has
- 15:36Speaker 2: prayed at the Pentagon at the behest of Pete Hegsbirth
- 15:40Speaker 2: because he is Pete Hegsbirth's pastor, did an interview yester
- 15:45Speaker 2: or two days ago, yeah where where he said that
- 15:50Speaker 2: gay people should be taken out of society and the
- 15:53Speaker 2: punishment for gay sex should be execution.
- 15:56Speaker 4: That having the vote not believe full democracy.
- 16:01Speaker 2: Yes, he said that in the same interview that women
- 16:03Speaker 2: should not vote, and I was yeah, but I would
- 16:08Speaker 2: s left this off as fringe. But this guy has
- 16:10Speaker 2: the ear of the Secretary of Defense and is praying
- 16:12Speaker 2: at our Pentagon. So this is not just hyperbole. This
- 16:16Speaker 2: is not just some idiot ranting and raving in his
- 16:19Speaker 2: own church. He actually has the ear of policymakers. And
- 16:23Speaker 2: I saw I saw another article that from Newsweek or Time,
- 16:29Speaker 2: and it said there's an alarming trend right now in
- 16:32Speaker 2: the United States that we are using the same verbiage
- 16:36Speaker 2: as Vladimir Putin in our anti gay legislation to criminalize homosexuality.
- 16:42Speaker 2: That we're using the same terminology that Putin uses, leading,
- 16:47Speaker 2: which would lead to criminalization. And I believe that's where
- 16:50Speaker 2: they're going. They want to criminalize being gay in the
- 16:53Speaker 2: United States.
- 16:54Speaker 5: And people say about professional bodies, the the ICD and
- 16:58Speaker 5: the DSM, this as a quote unquote disorder decades, that
- 17:03Speaker 5: it's not even an issue.
- 17:05Speaker 2: They don't care you. So, so it's been it's been
- 17:09Speaker 2: a I don't want to say a rough week. I
- 17:13Speaker 2: just want to say this week, I kind of feel
- 17:15Speaker 2: like they're winning, and you know they do. Also in Ukraine, Uh,
- 17:22Speaker 2: you had some since you're there now so much, you
- 17:25Speaker 2: guys had some progress, but you also had some regression.
- 17:30Speaker 2: The Human Rights Campaign, I believe, or the Human Rights Watch,
- 17:36Speaker 2: the Human Rights Group what is it? No, yes, well,
- 17:41Speaker 2: go ahead tell the story.
- 17:44Speaker 5: They reported no significant legislative chaines sprailed to BTQ rights
- 17:47Speaker 5: in Ukraine during early twenty six.
- 17:51Speaker 4: I was in the middle of an out.
- 17:52Speaker 5: So they saided two court victories, protected pride events, stalled
- 17:56Speaker 5: partnership legislation in twenty six documented cases all being homophobia
- 18:00Speaker 5: or transphobia, including six classified as hate crimes. And I
- 18:04Speaker 5: did check it up the pig's head. It's represented in
- 18:07Speaker 5: two ways. One they can use it to desecrate holy
- 18:11Speaker 5: sites and for degradation social degradation, So that's private what
- 18:15Speaker 5: this one was at the salon. The other case is
- 18:18Speaker 5: they typically actually use it as anti semitic.
- 18:22Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, So we won in court, but we
- 18:28Speaker 2: got set back in the parliament. Now is the setback
- 18:30Speaker 2: in the parliament that nothing happened for gays in the parliament.
- 18:34Speaker 2: That's the setback that there was no progress.
- 18:38Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, there's there's some there's there's some nuances here.
- 18:43Speaker 5: So the parliament, there's a lot of hated politicians. Basically,
- 18:48Speaker 5: the brank ordering is something like hating Putin, hating the Kremlin,
- 18:52Speaker 5: hating a lot of their politicians. That's kind of a
- 18:54Speaker 5: lot of sentiment here in Ukraine. But a big thing
- 18:58Speaker 5: is socially, more and more people are orienting towards EU
- 19:03Speaker 5: standard values.
- 19:05Speaker 2: So well, they're fighting over semantics. They're fighting over the
- 19:08Speaker 2: term family member and what a family with the definition
- 19:11Speaker 2: of a term family member because they never heard Sister
- 19:15Speaker 2: Sledge we a family.
- 19:18Speaker 4: Hey, hey, excellent song.
- 19:20Speaker 2: It is an excellent song. I got all my sisters
- 19:23Speaker 2: with me, which would exclude say.
- 19:29Speaker 4: With the Goldberg.
- 19:30Speaker 2: Oh, I don't know, but I mean it was in
- 19:31Speaker 2: the bird cage. It was. It's been in a lot
- 19:33Speaker 2: of gay movies.
- 19:34Speaker 4: Uh.
- 19:34Speaker 2: I actually performed with Kathy Sledge from Sister Sledge in Dayton,
- 19:38Speaker 2: Ohio at a gay Pride festival and when she sang
- 19:41Speaker 2: that song, she brought me out to sing it with her.
- 19:43Speaker 2: So I have sung we Are Family with Kathy Sledge
- 19:45Speaker 2: of Sister Sledge. I was one of the I was
- 19:48Speaker 2: one of the sisters in the Sister Sledge. I really was.
- 19:51Speaker 2: I was out there giving.
- 19:52Speaker 7: It to him.
- 19:52Speaker 2: Hey hey, hey, how.
- 19:54Speaker 4: Oh yes, princesses, but you were the only queen.
- 19:57Speaker 2: I was the only queen. My mother is dead, so
- 19:59Speaker 2: I'm queen. Since more than twenty thousand proposed amendments were
- 20:03Speaker 2: submitted to the bill over in the Ukraine, its vote
- 20:08Speaker 2: in the second reading is expected no earlier than autumn
- 20:10Speaker 2: of twenty twenty six, and that's because they have to
- 20:12Speaker 2: get through all of the twenty thousand proposed amendments. It
- 20:18Speaker 2: would nullify civil partnerships as the last amends of the
- 20:22Speaker 2: current family Code, which would be replaced by new civil code.
- 20:27Speaker 2: And in that civil code, they're fighting over what family
- 20:30Speaker 2: member means. And so they haven't made the decision yet,
- 20:35Speaker 2: but there have been two key judicial victories. On February
- 20:39Speaker 2: twenty fifth of twenty six, the Supreme Court of Ukraine
- 20:42Speaker 2: ruled that rejected an appeal by the anti gay organization
- 20:46Speaker 2: All Together. Isn't that weird? Their name is all Together,
- 20:51Speaker 2: but they're an anti gay organization, I guess, just not
- 20:54Speaker 2: us seeking to overturn Disaniavsky District Court and Kiev Court
- 20:59Speaker 2: of Appeal rulings that recognized the facto family relationships between
- 21:04Speaker 2: same sex partners, and Carive District Administrative Court rulings ordering
- 21:09Speaker 2: a military recruitment center in car Leaves to remove from
- 21:13Speaker 2: military registration a person who had legally changed their gender
- 21:17Speaker 2: from male to female.
- 21:20Speaker 5: So now is show.
- 21:39Speaker 2: And by the way, your pride march, which you didn't
- 21:41Speaker 2: go to, had about five thousand people. It was the
- 21:44Speaker 2: largest in Key's history, So there were some victories there,
- 21:49Speaker 2: So that, you know, that's good.
- 21:52Speaker 4: Social opinion is way ahead of legislation right now.
- 21:55Speaker 2: It's always the way it is, isn't it. That's I mean,
- 21:58Speaker 2: that's always the way it is. The people alway, he's
- 22:00Speaker 2: moved faster than the legislature. All right out of Metro Weekly.
- 22:06Speaker 2: A story that you were interested in. We might see
- 22:08Speaker 2: this different ways. A lot of people see this story
- 22:11Speaker 2: as a win. I see it as a are you kidding?
- 22:15Speaker 2: A man got seven years for shooting and paralyzing his
- 22:18Speaker 2: gay neighbor. If you look at the man that was
- 22:21Speaker 2: the shooter, he looks as queer as can be. And
- 22:25Speaker 2: maybe that was a dispute, you know, it's like, hey, dude,
- 22:28Speaker 2: are you gay? But of course this is in Florida,
- 22:30Speaker 2: where no gay should live. A Jacksonville man who shot
- 22:34Speaker 2: his gay neighbor, leaving him partially paralyzed, has been sentenced.
- 22:38Speaker 2: Now that's the good news. He was sentenced. You know,
- 22:40Speaker 2: here's the bad news, seven years. So he'll be out
- 22:44Speaker 2: in three seven years. Tyler Getchel, he's thirty. He pled
- 22:50Speaker 2: guilty to a reduced charge of attempted manslaughter for shooting
- 22:53Speaker 2: twenty four year old Kyle McFarlane during a dispute over
- 22:56Speaker 2: alleged trespassing. You're on my lawn, you know.
- 23:01Speaker 6: Uh.
- 23:02Speaker 2: He was initially charged with attempted murder, but they knocked
- 23:04Speaker 2: it down. They requested a downward departure or a less
- 23:08Speaker 2: severe sentence, arguing that he had no prior felony convictions
- 23:11Speaker 2: because somehow that makes it better. Had served five years
- 23:15Speaker 2: in the US Navy, because I guess that's an excuse
- 23:17Speaker 2: to shoot a queer, and expressed remorse for the shooting
- 23:20Speaker 2: because he got caught and remained at the scene instead
- 23:25Speaker 2: of fleeing. So I at, once again, you know, some
- 23:27Speaker 2: big deal that he actually stayed. Now, responding on Facebook
- 23:33Speaker 2: to a comment questioning the length of gechel sentence.
- 23:37Speaker 5: Uh.
- 23:37Speaker 2: They said that Gil could serve additional time if he
- 23:40Speaker 2: fails to pay restitution for the medical expenses stemming from
- 23:44Speaker 2: the shooting and sense he's broke as fuck. He'll probably
- 23:47Speaker 2: be in jail for because you don't look like him
- 23:49Speaker 2: and not be broke. Should I should? I can show
- 23:51Speaker 2: my viewer. Wait, no, I can't. I can show my
- 23:54Speaker 2: viewers or our viewers today. The guy, I'm too bad,
- 23:59Speaker 2: it's too bad. He's kind of heart, kind of hot
- 24:02Speaker 2: man gets seven years for shooting and paralyzing LGBTQ neighbor. Uh,
- 24:07Speaker 2: that's that's the article you sent it over. I love
- 24:11Speaker 2: his dog. By the way, it looks like a big ember.
- 24:13Speaker 2: Looks like a giant ember. But you know, okay, great
- 24:17Speaker 2: the guy got prosecuted, and great the guy got you know,
- 24:20Speaker 2: god jail time. But seven years? And why wasn't this
- 24:24Speaker 2: a hate crime? You know? He said, Oh, it was
- 24:26Speaker 2: for trespassing. But come on, it's like the gay didn't
- 24:30Speaker 2: play into it. Of course it did, but in their
- 24:33Speaker 2: infinite wisdom, they decided to not hate crime it. So
- 24:39Speaker 2: in Romania, Uh, if if when you're done looking for Dracula,
- 24:45Speaker 2: the Romanian city has held out against authorizing the Pride march.
- 24:49Speaker 2: The western city of Ridea again has said no to
- 24:53Speaker 2: a Pride parade for the fourth consecutive year, adding two
- 24:56Speaker 2: concerns about backsliding on gay rights in the EU member country. Now,
- 25:02Speaker 2: as a member of the EU, they have to obey
- 25:04Speaker 2: certain rules, but letting pride parades happen is not one
- 25:07Speaker 2: of the rules. They don't have to allow pride. They
- 25:10Speaker 2: just can't, you know, discriminate or jail people or whatever,
- 25:13Speaker 2: but they don't have to let them march. So you
- 25:17Speaker 2: were saying that in Ukraine, you guys want to become
- 25:19Speaker 2: more like the EU in terms of LGBTQ rights. Well,
- 25:24Speaker 2: Romania is in the EU, and yet they're not letting
- 25:30Speaker 2: a Pride march go on. You know, I don't know why.
- 25:34Speaker 2: I mean, I don't even know how we'd tell the
- 25:37Speaker 2: lesbians from the gay men in Romania. Don't they all
- 25:39Speaker 2: have mustaches? I mean, I don't know, but you know, sorry,
- 25:43Speaker 2: but Romanian women tend to have facial hair and they're
- 25:48Speaker 2: anti gay. I mean, if you've seen a Romanian woman,
- 25:50Speaker 2: it's like, you know, but over in Romania's western city,
- 25:54Speaker 2: of Areta. It's about two undre threfty kilometers separating of
- 26:00Speaker 2: them from Budapestan Hungary. But the two cities are very,
- 26:04Speaker 2: very far apart. The only thing uniting them is that
- 26:07Speaker 2: they did not allow Pride marches, which is kind of sad. However,
- 26:12Speaker 2: Hungary's capital did host a Pride event this year. Romania
- 26:17Speaker 2: still no. So Hungary has moved forward, Romania has not.
- 26:23Speaker 2: And I guess on the grand scale of things, that's
- 26:26Speaker 2: how it goes. One weight gets put on this side. Okay,
- 26:29Speaker 2: we've got, you know, the scale tipping to the good
- 26:32Speaker 2: because Romania or Hungary allowed the Pride parade, and then
- 26:36Speaker 2: you've got the weight on this side. Wait a minute,
- 26:39Speaker 2: Roumania didn't, so the scale evens back out again. I mean,
- 26:45Speaker 2: I don't know how many gays are in Romania, but
- 26:48Speaker 2: I hope they get a parade sooner than later. They've
- 26:50Speaker 2: tried for four years. By the way, there was one
- 26:56Speaker 2: hundred and fifteen proposed routes. One hundred and fifteen propose
- 27:00Speaker 2: routes for the parade nos and Romania said, notice, everyone's
- 27:05Speaker 2: decision is yeah. I mean, you know, they said the
- 27:09Speaker 2: routes are unavailable because they overlap with other authorized events,
- 27:13Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty different routes and not one. I mean,
- 27:19Speaker 2: they're like, look, we'll go through the sewers. They're like, no,
- 27:24Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 27:24Speaker 4: I've been unlock committees and stuff. I don't know why
- 27:27Speaker 4: you need even more than five or ten proposals, Like.
- 27:31Speaker 2: Well, they even proposed routes outside of the city. They
- 27:35Speaker 2: proposed routes outside of the city center. They said, Okay,
- 27:39Speaker 2: if you won't have it, let us have it downtown here,
- 27:41Speaker 2: We'll have it in this suburb, you know. And they're like, no, no.
- 27:45Speaker 5: It's just being unfair to the point of acknowledging that
- 27:49Speaker 5: it's a big true.
- 27:50Speaker 2: Well, under Romanian law, local authorities cannot ban a public march.
- 27:55Speaker 2: Their role is to identify practical solutions to ensure that
- 27:58Speaker 2: the events can take place safely. So they haven't banned
- 28:01Speaker 2: the march. Okay, they didn't come out and say you
- 28:05Speaker 2: can't have your Pride march. They just banned all of
- 28:09Speaker 2: the proposed routes. Talk about a technical talk about a technicality.
- 28:17Speaker 5: We're not against it, and we're not saying no to it.
- 28:20Speaker 5: We're just saying it's unfeasible because we're saying no to
- 28:23Speaker 5: one hundred and fifty passages.
- 28:25Speaker 2: Yes, Uh, there will still be an unauthorized march through
- 28:29Speaker 2: the city.
- 28:30Speaker 4: Uh.
- 28:31Speaker 2: It was attended last year by several hundred young people mostly.
- 28:35Speaker 2: There were some scuffles. However, the police did not escalate
- 28:39Speaker 2: the situation and they did impost fines totaling about thirty
- 28:44Speaker 2: nine hundred euros on organizations that participated in the march,
- 28:48Speaker 2: but they did not arrest any of the leaders of
- 28:52Speaker 2: the march.
- 28:52Speaker 4: So Roman that's a decent could change.
- 28:56Speaker 2: Yeah, four thousand euros in Romania. That's yeah, that's the castle, you.
- 29:03Speaker 4: Know, great doctor Jim's castle.
- 29:06Speaker 2: But it's just sad that how do I say this.
- 29:11Speaker 2: We're gonna take a break. But I mean, obviously they're
- 29:14Speaker 2: not bad against it if they let the unoperaze when happened,
- 29:17Speaker 2: and that all they did would find the people, you
- 29:19Speaker 2: know what I mean, it's like they didn't go out there, like.
- 29:24Speaker 7: Yeah, it's broadcasting from a completely different point of view.

- 30:25Speaker 2: saw that on an email. I'm oh, well, la la la,
- 30:30Speaker 2: Happy Thursday, July twenty third, it is this Gay Week.
- 30:34Speaker 2: I'll be back on Monday with more of this frivolity.
- 30:38Speaker 2: I'm sorry I was. I was almost crying during the break,
- 30:40Speaker 2: you know, during the break as a photo November that pops.
- 30:42Speaker 2: So there's a lot of photos of her during the show.
- 30:44Speaker 2: But she of course is right here next to me
- 30:46Speaker 2: on her pillow, a pillow that I got her when
- 30:48Speaker 2: she was six weeks old. It is it's huge. I
- 30:50Speaker 2: got out of the garage sale and she walked by
- 30:52Speaker 2: this garage sale she was like eight weeks old, and
- 30:54Speaker 2: she plopped on the pillow and I'm well, that's your pillow, obviously,
- 30:58Speaker 2: and I realized and I I started crying. Is Ember
- 31:02Speaker 2: because we're always together, and I mean that when she
- 31:05Speaker 2: was a puppy, she was on my desk during the show,
- 31:07Speaker 2: she was a desk dog, so I could keep track
- 31:09Speaker 2: of her because I had a big yard and I
- 31:11Speaker 2: didn't want to lose her out in the pond or something.
- 31:13Speaker 2: You know, she has been beside me for more than
- 31:20Speaker 2: twenty five hundred shows because she's ten going on eleven.
- 31:25Speaker 2: And oh, she's ten going on eleven. And I know
- 31:31Speaker 2: one day in the not too distant future, I will
- 31:34Speaker 2: look down and she will be there. And that just
- 31:38Speaker 2: got me during the break, told you, I'm having a
- 31:40Speaker 2: rough week, all right. So here in the United States,
- 31:44Speaker 2: another thing going unreported, except the left is reporting it.
- 31:50Speaker 2: Pete Hagsbeth, Donald Trump, Marco Rubio. They have all said
- 31:55Speaker 2: they want to go after and start prosecuting left win
- 32:00Speaker 2: groups as domestic terrorist, as people undermining the security of America.
- 32:08Speaker 5: And this is a global based at the conference of
- 32:10Speaker 5: over sixty countries taking part.
- 32:12Speaker 2: Yes, So that being said, A regional human rights organization
- 32:17Speaker 2: has expressed grave concerns in the Philippines over Indonesia's classification
- 32:23Speaker 2: of the alleged dissemination of gay culture as a non
- 32:27Speaker 2: military threat, saying that the move could legitimize discrimination and
- 32:32Speaker 2: state repression against gay people. In a statement issued Wednesday,
- 32:36Speaker 2: it questioned this group. Accian Soji questioned the basis of
- 32:41Speaker 2: the Indonesian government's, particularly President Proboo Sibianto, in classifying the
- 32:47Speaker 2: alleged dissemination of gay culture as a threat to national sovereignty,
- 32:53Speaker 2: territory integrity, and national security. This is the exact same
- 32:57Speaker 2: verbiage that they're using here in the unit uited States.
- 33:01Speaker 2: And if you don't think, like I said in the
- 33:03Speaker 2: beginning story, that they're going to classify gay organizations in
- 33:08Speaker 2: with the left leaning organizations and thus designate them as
- 33:13Speaker 2: I guess enemies of the state, then you're fooling yourself.
- 33:17Speaker 2: And it's already happening in the Philippines.
- 33:21Speaker 5: And they need to do this in democratic societies in
- 33:24Speaker 5: terms of proposing it, to make it through in the
- 33:27Speaker 5: CD and autocredit societies early on automated here, then you
- 33:31Speaker 5: make some impremature of legitimacy, and this is one way
- 33:34Speaker 5: that they do it.
- 33:36Speaker 2: LGBTQ people are not threats to national security. There are
- 33:40Speaker 2: members of families and faith based communities. They are students,
- 33:42Speaker 2: workers and service providers who keep communities alive, said Rihan Silvero,
- 33:47Speaker 2: executive director of the Asian SOG Caucus. Why the fuck
- 33:52Speaker 2: in twenty twenty six do we have to remind people
- 33:55Speaker 2: that gays are not a threat to national fucking security.
- 33:59Speaker 2: I can't even tell you, I was about to say,
- 34:01Speaker 2: I can't even tell you how many gay people have
- 34:03Speaker 2: served throughout the years in the army, in the Navy,
- 34:07Speaker 2: and in many other you know, which.
- 34:09Speaker 4: Is technically most framings. The gayest branch of it.
- 34:15Speaker 2: Is actually and marines as well. You know the difference
- 34:18Speaker 2: between a GA marine and a straight marine.
- 34:20Speaker 4: What's the difference a twelve pack of.
- 34:23Speaker 2: Beer and a shot at Jack Daniels.
- 34:26Speaker 4: That's true, true.
- 34:27Speaker 2: Yeah, So you know, as we said with these five amendments,
- 34:34Speaker 2: are these writers here in the United States, It isn't
- 34:37Speaker 2: just US. When the US starts these global gag orders
- 34:43Speaker 2: and no DEI and we're going to start prosecuting the
- 34:46Speaker 2: left it, then it then gives countries other license, like
- 34:52Speaker 2: the Philippines and the Asian countries to do the same thing.
- 34:56Speaker 2: And when they're challenged, they'll say, look, the US is doing.
- 34:59Speaker 5: It well then, And just to be just be quickly
- 35:02Speaker 5: clarifying to the A S E.
- 35:04Speaker 4: A N.
- 35:05Speaker 5: It's a huge collection of Asians groups and countries and
- 35:10Speaker 5: organizations and the way they perked up is.
- 35:13Speaker 4: Oh, I guess to be sex orientation identity.
- 35:18Speaker 2: If you're not visiting, call, I'm glad we went to broke.
- 35:21Speaker 6: I don't like to be sure missing out. Get the podcast,
- 35:24Speaker 6: videos and the blog including recipes at really coll do

- 35:43Speaker 2: Corrella is the.
- 35:44Speaker 1: One that you need to know.
- 35:48Speaker 2: All right. I know we bicker like a married couple,
- 35:51Speaker 2: but we're not so I love this story because it
- 35:56Speaker 2: happens here in the United States so much. Look at
- 35:59Speaker 2: Christine husband with his big balloon titties. Uh you know,
- 36:02Speaker 2: and yet she's so Antiquay this next story, it happens
- 36:07Speaker 2: so much. And as we are topping the charts in
- 36:11Speaker 2: Sierra Leone, the daughter of a Senegalese anti lgb D
- 36:17Speaker 2: two l Anti LGBTQ advocate has been arrested. And guess
- 36:22Speaker 2: what for?
- 36:25Speaker 4: I tell you like this one?
- 36:26Speaker 2: Lessianism, uh so yes? And drug offenses. Well, if you're
- 36:34Speaker 2: a lesbian, you have to do drugs. Uh, I'm sorry,
- 36:38Speaker 2: I just couldn't look at a naked you know, what
- 36:41Speaker 2: about some kind of drug?
- 36:43Speaker 4: Well, sure, you know, it's just it's just it's just
- 36:46Speaker 4: it's just extra at its stress, particularly in many of
- 36:48Speaker 4: these countries.
- 36:49Speaker 2: Senegal police have arrested the daughter of a prominent anti
- 36:52Speaker 2: gay advocate, Maimy Moctar Guie, on drug and lesbianism charges
- 36:59Speaker 2: or Mame Fatao beIN at Tao Gulia, known as Rose,
- 37:07Speaker 2: was charged in the High Court of Dakar on Monday,
- 37:09Speaker 2: along with her boyfriend and two others. Along with her boyfriend,
- 37:13Speaker 2: I am confused. All four face charges of drug possessions.
- 37:17Speaker 2: Oh okay, yeah yeah, all face charges of drug possession
- 37:20Speaker 2: and drug trafficking, though the alleged evidence did not create
- 37:24Speaker 2: the impression of a large drug trafficking operation. The alleged
- 37:27Speaker 2: evidence in support of the lesianism charge consists of erotic
- 37:32Speaker 2: videos that police found on FB Guiere's phone, which she
- 37:37Speaker 2: said she downloaded out of curiosity. Okay, a couple things.
- 37:43Speaker 2: They could be her boyfriends. First of all, because straight
- 37:46Speaker 2: men love to watch lesbian port that's the first thing.
- 37:51Speaker 2: Second of all, curiosity, what she had grown as woman
- 37:57Speaker 2: she knows what lesbians do the same thing my boyfriend does,
- 38:01Speaker 2: just with less facial hair. I'm muster from Romania. In
- 38:06Speaker 2: recent months, an anti gay panic has swept Senegal, and
- 38:09Speaker 2: it has and that's terrible, leading to hundreds of arrest
- 38:14Speaker 2: And again people act like the United States is not
- 38:17Speaker 2: heading in this direction. It is, you know, And in
- 38:22Speaker 2: Senegal they've arrested hundreds of people and enacted a law
- 38:26Speaker 2: doubling the penalties for same sex intimacy double huh.
- 38:31Speaker 5: Or states there are dozens of medium to high profile
- 38:36Speaker 5: pastors and priests who go undranged homilies speaking to what
- 38:45Speaker 5: they would.
- 38:45Speaker 4: Like to do.
- 38:46Speaker 2: Do we have to go back to Hunter Biden saying that,
- 38:48Speaker 2: you know, the big cabal of closeted Republicans. Look, when
- 38:52Speaker 2: I'm in West Hollywood, Okay, I don't use Grinder for
- 38:56Speaker 2: hooking up. I don't, but I do launch the app
- 38:59Speaker 2: sometimes to just see what gay people are around me,
- 39:02Speaker 2: you know, like if I'm in Ireland, It's like, what
- 39:05Speaker 2: are the gays around here?
- 39:07Speaker 6: Uh?
- 39:07Speaker 2: You know, because it gives you a you know, it
- 39:10Speaker 2: gives you a photo layout. So in West Hollywood, home
- 39:14Speaker 2: to the gays, Grinder never crashes San Francisco Castro grinder
- 39:20Speaker 2: never crashes. Republican national convention grinder crashes, large religious conventions
- 39:26Speaker 2: grinder crashes. And why is that? Because there's so many
- 39:31Speaker 2: people at one time, all trying to use it, you know,
- 39:34Speaker 2: I mean this notion. So so mame, well Rose will
- 39:40Speaker 2: call her Rose because that's what you know. She didn't
- 39:42Speaker 2: want to be called mame. She is the vice president
- 39:46Speaker 2: of Senegal's powerful anti LGBTQ is Lamist group. Jam Ra
- 39:52Speaker 2: has been a prominent advocate of the wave of anti
- 39:54Speaker 2: gay repression. He did not deviate from that position after
- 39:58Speaker 2: learning of his dog the arrest. Wow. He even called
- 40:04Speaker 2: on the justice system to show exemplary severity, including and
- 40:09Speaker 2: especially towards his own daughter, so he won't be getting
- 40:13Speaker 2: Father of the Year award.
- 40:16Speaker 5: The parents that do that, yeah yeah, I know, yeah,
- 40:21Speaker 5: the audience, it's just.
- 40:23Speaker 2: They they just don't do it when their kids are
- 40:25Speaker 2: in jail.
- 40:26Speaker 4: But you know, yeah, double down. He also has to
- 40:30Speaker 4: keep it up. I mean in that way, I mean
- 40:32Speaker 4: in the sense of he probably no.
- 40:36Speaker 5: And also this is the extreme rhetoric usually has to
- 40:39Speaker 5: come with doubling down more than anything else.
- 40:43Speaker 2: Now, your neighbor there to the Ukraine, Poland they're president
- 40:47Speaker 2: has vetoed bill that would recognize same sex couples, which
- 40:51Speaker 2: is odd because they are a member of the EU
- 40:53Speaker 2: and they are supposed to recognize them.
- 40:56Speaker 4: But yeah, it's not.
- 40:57Speaker 5: It's not clean, it's it's it's it's an aggregate betterness
- 41:02Speaker 5: right to a lot of other places.
- 41:04Speaker 2: The bill would have created cohabitation contracts, which would have
- 41:10Speaker 2: given some legal recognition to same sex couples when it
- 41:12Speaker 2: comes to medical information, property rights, and funerals. Basically, it
- 41:16Speaker 2: would have been the equivalent of art. Yeah, well I
- 41:18Speaker 2: had to sue for one of those rights. Basically, this
- 41:22Speaker 2: would be granting domestic partnership rights. Basically, However, when we
- 41:26Speaker 2: had domestic partnerships in that marriage, they did not grant
- 41:30Speaker 2: the right to sue for wrongful death, which of course
- 41:32Speaker 2: I had to fix after seven years and a trip
- 41:35Speaker 2: to the State Supreme Court. So the bills were part
- 41:39Speaker 2: of reforms promised when Prime Minister Donald Tusk took office
- 41:42Speaker 2: in twenty twenty three, which included measures regarding LGBTQ people's
- 41:46Speaker 2: rights and abortion rights. The current ruling coalition in Parliament
- 41:50Speaker 2: is considered liberal and pro European, and they still didn't
- 41:54Speaker 2: pass the bill. So that's not really encouraging, is it.
- 42:00Speaker 5: No upset, Yeah, because it's just I don't know, it's
- 42:05Speaker 5: again and again it's it's stuff that should be obvious
- 42:09Speaker 5: based on any of the conventions or whatever else these
- 42:14Speaker 5: countries are signatory too, and then just completely yes.
- 42:18Speaker 2: And according to gay groups in Poland, they said, today's
- 42:21Speaker 2: vito of the bill shows that even the absolute minimum
- 42:24Speaker 2: of rights which this bill would have been intended to provide,
- 42:28Speaker 2: is just too much for this president. And you have
- 42:32Speaker 2: to wonder, you know, it doesn't even affect the present,
- 42:36Speaker 2: it affects nobody. A former equality minister and New Left
- 42:40Speaker 2: member of Parliament, Katazangya Kotula, said that uh Nor Ricky
- 42:48Speaker 2: turned his back on two million people living today in
- 42:52Speaker 2: informal relationships. Earlier this year, a gay couple who traveled
- 42:55Speaker 2: to Berlin to get married won the right in court
- 42:58Speaker 2: to have their marriage recognized in Poland based on EU
- 43:02Speaker 2: laws of which Poland is a member. So if you
- 43:06Speaker 2: get married outside of Poland and you come to Poland,
- 43:10Speaker 2: your marriage is recognized. If you're in Poland living with
- 43:14Speaker 2: your partner and want some sort of rights, you don't
- 43:17Speaker 2: get of course, that is such an incongruity of law.
- 43:23Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, it's an incongruity of laws for convenience
- 43:27Speaker 5: of cultural sentiment.
- 43:30Speaker 2: That's a nice way of saying he wants to get votes. Yes,
- 43:33Speaker 2: I mean he's only doing this to please his conservative
- 43:36Speaker 2: you know people you know.
- 43:39Speaker 5: Would sure there are substantial numbers of Catholics.
- 43:42Speaker 2: Now. I heard this story this week. I used to
- 43:46Speaker 2: write for Metro Weekly and out of Washington, d C.
- 43:50Speaker 2: And I heard this and I was worried. But when
- 43:54Speaker 2: I read the story, I thought, oh good, he wasn't
- 43:56Speaker 2: in the bar. So this nutjob went to this gay
- 44:02Speaker 2: dive bar, which are the most fun things in the world.
- 44:04Speaker 2: Gay dive bars are so much fun. They just really are.
- 44:08Speaker 2: By the way, any dive bar is really fun, and
- 44:10Speaker 2: gays are usually a hit, and dive bars a lot
- 44:13Speaker 2: of gays are afraid to go into just straight dive bars.
- 44:16Speaker 2: I've gone into many, and trust me, I was a
- 44:18Speaker 2: hit and usually found someone to go home with. Staff
- 44:23Speaker 2: and customers took cover inside of Sharky's after an armed
- 44:27Speaker 2: man open fire from the parking lot. Now some people there,
- 44:33Speaker 2: you know. This is in Asheville, North Carolina, where my
- 44:35Speaker 2: friend Bruce Steel, former editor of The Advocate lives he
- 44:39Speaker 2: and his husband Chris. The police there shot and killed him.
- 44:43Speaker 2: Who will not my friend Chris, but shot and killed
- 44:45Speaker 2: the man in the parking lot who allegedly opened fire?
- 44:48Speaker 2: Why don't have to say allegedly. I think he had
- 44:51Speaker 2: the gun. There are bullet holes in the wall. He
- 44:52Speaker 2: opened fire on a gay bar from its parking lot.
- 44:56Speaker 2: Why Why was he? Why did he shoot up the
- 45:00Speaker 2: are because he was kicked out? Sharkis or Shaky's I'm sorry. Shaky's,
- 45:07Speaker 2: which markets itself as a gay dive bar for drag, karaoke,
- 45:10Speaker 2: DJs and cheap booze my kind of place, said in
- 45:14Speaker 2: a statement that the individual whose behavior caused concerned was
- 45:18Speaker 2: asked to leave the bar during the early morning hours.
- 45:21Speaker 2: He was later seen with a gun in the bar's
- 45:23Speaker 2: parking lot. When staff and customers became aware of the
- 45:26Speaker 2: arm man, they locked the doors. They called nine to
- 45:27Speaker 2: one one, and they followed the dispatcher's instructions, moving everyone
- 45:31Speaker 2: away from the windows and onto the bar onto the floor.
- 45:35Speaker 2: Gun Shots were then fired outside the bar. Can you
- 45:37Speaker 2: imagine being at a club It's one thirty in the
- 45:39Speaker 2: morning and all of a sudden they bring you to
- 45:41Speaker 2: the middle of the bar and say, okay, we're one
- 45:42Speaker 2: lay on the floor. I mean, this is this is ridiculous.
- 45:47Speaker 2: It is degrading. Asheville police officers arrived at the scene
- 45:51Speaker 2: and returned fire, striking the man, who later died from
- 45:53Speaker 2: his injuries. In accordance with protocol, the North Carolina State
- 45:57Speaker 2: Bureau of Investigation will investigate the shooting. Shakey's confirmed Sharky's
- 46:03Speaker 2: Shaky Shakey's. Shakey's confirmed that no staff members or customers
- 46:07Speaker 2: were harmed in the shooting. The bar reopened for regular
- 46:10Speaker 2: business on Wednesday afternoon. There is no word on whether
- 46:14Speaker 2: the man was gay or not. He was at the
- 46:18Speaker 2: gay Dive bar. He was acting erratic and you know,
- 46:23Speaker 2: I mean freaky even for a gay bar. So I mean,
- 46:25Speaker 2: you gotta be acting pretty fucking weird to be thrown
- 46:27Speaker 2: out of a gay bar, and so he was, and
- 46:31Speaker 2: then of course he got a gun and started shooting inside.
- 46:34Speaker 2: This story is a very important reminder of how quick
- 46:39Speaker 2: action is needed, and I applaud the Ashville police because
- 46:44Speaker 2: we talked weeks ago on the anniversary of the Upstairs Lounge.
- 46:48Speaker 2: This is exactly what happened. There was a patron in
- 46:52Speaker 2: the upstairs Lounge in New Orleans. He was thrown out
- 46:55Speaker 2: for being ridiculous. He came back, locked the or at
- 47:00Speaker 2: the bottom of the stairs, set the place on fire,
- 47:03Speaker 2: and one of the biggest massacres of and gay history occurred.
- 47:07Speaker 2: So this could have been much much worse, and we
- 47:12Speaker 2: applaud the Ashville police for coming and the bar owners
- 47:18Speaker 2: for quick and decisive action. I know it was demeaning
- 47:21Speaker 2: to lay everyone in the middle of the floor and everything,
- 47:23Speaker 2: but I'm just I'm so glad that nobody died because
- 47:27Speaker 2: this is exactly what happened at the Upstairs Lounge, except
- 47:30Speaker 2: instead of shooting a gun, they started a fire. But
- 47:34Speaker 2: both of them were disgruntled patrons who were thrown out
- 47:37Speaker 2: and then created violence. There is no word if he
- 47:40Speaker 2: is gay or not. I'm not going to say this
- 47:42Speaker 2: is not unique to bars. There are many people who
- 47:46Speaker 2: get thrown out of bars who then come back and
- 47:48Speaker 2: try to start shit. It's why they have bouncers, it's
- 47:50Speaker 2: why they have security. I don't know if this is
- 47:55Speaker 2: gonna I know this is gonna sound odd, but they're
- 47:58Speaker 2: using facial recognition technology in the Castro and the gays
- 48:01Speaker 2: are really mad about it. So when you go into
- 48:04Speaker 2: a bar, they're scanning your ID and your face, just
- 48:06Speaker 2: like at the airport, and they keep that information for
- 48:09Speaker 2: thirty days. And other bars have these now, and if
- 48:14Speaker 2: you are thrown out for something like this, you then
- 48:18Speaker 2: go on the system and any other bar where you
- 48:21Speaker 2: scan your face, they're not going to let you in.
- 48:24Speaker 2: So you're not just eighty six. So you're not just
- 48:28Speaker 2: eighty six from that bar, you're eighty six from all
- 48:30Speaker 2: the others. When I hear stories like this, I don't
- 48:33Speaker 2: know if that kind of technology would help. Have this
- 48:36Speaker 2: guy behaved this way at other bars? Has he you know?
- 48:39Speaker 2: Is he just a freak? Is this a one time thing?
- 48:42Speaker 2: You know? I don't know, But I do know that
- 48:45Speaker 2: no gay person was harmed, and I have no problem
- 48:48Speaker 2: with the crazy person with the gun being killed. So
- 48:51Speaker 2: so bravo to Shakey's, bravo to Ashville police. And thank
- 48:55Speaker 2: god it didn't end like the upstairs lounge. Now I
- 49:02Speaker 2: just saw. Oh yeah, I know that you probably maybe
- 49:07Speaker 2: did or did not see this story. But yesterday or Wednesday, Wednesday,
- 49:13Speaker 2: it was announced that under Donald Trump, seventeen hundred HIV
- 49:18Speaker 2: organizations across the globe were shuttered.
- 49:22Speaker 4: Someone was talking. You might have been a tone about this.
- 49:25Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, no, this is this is, this is this
- 49:28Speaker 5: is actually significantly bad.
- 49:30Speaker 2: It is and people are going to die because of
- 49:33Speaker 2: this because they're not going to be able to get
- 49:35Speaker 2: medications testing and that sort of thing. And yeah, terrible,
- 49:39Speaker 2: terrible deaths. And this is directly caused by Donald Trump.
- 49:42Speaker 2: Directly caused by Donald Trump. And seventeen hundred. I thought
- 49:48Speaker 2: it was one hundred and seventy and then I rechecked
- 49:50Speaker 2: the story. It's seventeen hundred AIDS organizations.
- 49:55Speaker 5: Yeah, that's that's the really key part. It's not people,
- 49:58Speaker 5: it's organizations who serve people.
- 50:01Speaker 2: Right, So let's say every organization serves only one hundred people.
- 50:05Speaker 2: You know, you're still at thousands of people, you know,
- 50:08Speaker 2: like one hundred and seventy thousand people. But we know
- 50:11Speaker 2: they serve more than that, you know, they we know
- 50:14Speaker 2: they serve a large number of people. And I lived,
- 50:20Speaker 2: you know through AIDS. I'm a pandemic survivor. I'm still
- 50:24Speaker 2: HIV negative because you have to have sex to contract
- 50:26Speaker 2: the virus. I'm holding up for you, Scott, I'm holding up.
- 50:30Speaker 2: We'll finish up when we come back about this and
- 50:32Speaker 2: another story that just came out today from the United
- 50:35Speaker 2: States SCC, which I'm not sure you're gonna believe, but
- 50:39Speaker 2: at this point, the anniversary of that was two days ago,
- 50:44Speaker 2: by the way, the anniversary of him being really yeah,
- 50:47Speaker 2: it was two days ago. Yeah, I guess graphic.

- 51:48Speaker 2: What is today? Today's Thursday the twenty third, Yesterday Wednesday
- 51:51Speaker 2: the twenty second. In the United States, it has been
- 51:55Speaker 2: proposed that the FC by the FCC and well by
- 51:58Speaker 2: Trump that the and it was by him. It says
- 52:02Speaker 2: Donald Trump asks FCC to put warning label on any
- 52:08Speaker 2: show with LGBTQ content to inform parents that there is
- 52:13Speaker 2: LGBTQ content and or gender ideology or gender non not
- 52:19Speaker 2: gender non binary ideology. He literally wants a warning label
- 52:23Speaker 2: before any show with any gay people in it.
- 52:28Speaker 5: This is perfect because I loved Carlin's bits about the FCC,
- 52:35Speaker 5: and as a nice tap into as we're three minutes
- 52:39Speaker 5: into twenty third, it's actually my birthday.
- 52:41Speaker 2: Now, Happy birthday two. Yeah, happy birthday too, Yeah, Happy birthday.
- 52:53Speaker 2: I sang that with Stevie Wonder. Actually that was for Nelson.
- 52:56Speaker 2: That's a song that was for Nelson Mandela for his
- 52:59Speaker 2: birthday that Stevie did. And my friend Vesta Williams, who
- 53:02Speaker 2: is now dead, a lot of my friends dead. Vesta
- 53:06Speaker 2: was turning fifty. Stevie was at her birthday party. I
- 53:09Speaker 2: of course was I'm we were Vesta and I were
- 53:11Speaker 2: bfs and I was at her birthday party, of course,
- 53:16Speaker 2: and Stevie we were doing the cake and Vesta said,
- 53:19Speaker 2: hey boo, she called me boo. I said, what short
- 53:22Speaker 2: for boulet by the way for my last name. So
- 53:24Speaker 2: hey boo. She goes, get the microphone. There's a microphone over.
- 53:28Speaker 2: We're at a house. I don't even know they had
- 53:29Speaker 2: a sound system, but she's I'll get the microphone. Stevie
- 53:31Speaker 2: wants to sing, you know, happy birthday, So will you
- 53:34Speaker 2: lead him up to where the cake is? So I
- 53:36Speaker 2: go over and I say, mister Wonder, you know, I'm
- 53:39Speaker 2: to lead you up to where the cake is. He goes, oh,
- 53:41Speaker 2: I can find it, after all, I drove here and
- 53:43Speaker 2: I was it was by Braill. Yeah exactly, and he said,
- 53:49Speaker 2: call me Stevie. And so we go up and I'm
- 53:52Speaker 2: holding the microphone for Steve wat Yes, yes, there was
- 53:56Speaker 2: a watch on his wrist, but it had Brail on it.
- 53:59Speaker 2: Because I asked him, I said, jorn a watch. He goes,
- 54:01Speaker 2: it's Braille. I'm like okay. So I'm holding the microphone
- 54:06Speaker 2: up for him and he's, you know, he's talking about
- 54:09Speaker 2: Vesta and how special her voice is and what a
- 54:11Speaker 2: powerhouse talent she is. And then the cake comes out
- 54:15Speaker 2: and he starts singing, you know, happy birthday Vesta, and
- 54:20Speaker 2: everyone's like, oh my god, you know, and he caps
- 54:23Speaker 2: my soldier, my shoulder and he says, come on, and
- 54:27Speaker 2: I look, and I go wedd He goes sing with
- 54:29Speaker 2: me and I was like, holy fuck, So of course
- 54:33Speaker 2: I did. Uh. And afterwards he's all, are you a singer?
- 54:36Speaker 2: I said, I am a singer, and he's like I
- 54:38Speaker 2: could tell. And I'm like, well are you? And he
- 54:41Speaker 2: just laughed. I said, you're not bad yourself. Do you
- 54:43Speaker 2: do this for a living? And he's like, you know,
- 54:45Speaker 2: he was laughing. Uh. Anyway, so they want to put
- 54:48Speaker 2: a warning. Look. I interviewed Tipper Gore when she did
- 54:54Speaker 2: the Parents Resource Parents Music Resource Center PMRC, which is
- 54:59Speaker 2: the group that wanted to put you know, notices on
- 55:03Speaker 2: records because of the lyrical content. And I told her
- 55:07Speaker 2: I had no problem with that, especially some of the
- 55:10Speaker 2: rap records, because hey, you know, a kid's gonna buy
- 55:15Speaker 2: it if they want it. You know what I'm saying,
- 55:19Speaker 2: what we have a rating system, and if he wants
- 55:23Speaker 2: gay content to be rated PG thirteen or something, then
- 55:27Speaker 2: do that. This notion that you have to put a
- 55:30Speaker 2: gay warning, although it will make it easier for me
- 55:33Speaker 2: to find shows to watch because I'll just watch all
- 55:35Speaker 2: the shows that have the gay warning.
- 55:37Speaker 4: That's the funny part.
- 55:39Speaker 5: There's this whole thing about book banning or religion institutions.
- 55:43Speaker 5: Many people who were prominent in the secular circles, they
- 55:47Speaker 5: would then they would report this is also for myself.
- 55:52Speaker 5: Great now I know which books to actually read.
- 55:55Speaker 2: In the United States, when Donald Trump last year announced
- 55:58Speaker 2: his anti LGBTQ book, every single book that was banned,
- 56:02Speaker 2: their sales shot up five hundred people wanted to read
- 56:05Speaker 2: the books. And we'll leave with this. In Lima, Ohio,
- 56:10Speaker 2: a hotbed of gayness, a billboard went up that said
- 56:14Speaker 2: no child has zero dads and no child has zero moms.
- 56:18Speaker 2: And the zero dads and zero moms text is rainbow text.
- 56:23Speaker 2: They're trying to say that gays can't be parents. And
- 56:27Speaker 2: so a gay rights organization has decided to sue the city. However,
- 56:36Speaker 2: and I hate to I hate to say this, they're
- 56:41Speaker 2: going to lose because that organization has the right to
- 56:44Speaker 2: put up a billboard under freedom of speech. They have
- 56:47Speaker 2: a right, you know, and you know they have a
- 56:51Speaker 2: right if you don't like it, put up a billboard
- 56:53Speaker 2: right across that advocates for gay parents, you know what
- 56:56Speaker 2: I mean. When Andrew and I were on KFI, the
- 57:00Speaker 2: me gay couple in history to have a drivetime radio show.
- 57:02Speaker 2: At that point, KFI Prop eight was happening in California,
- 57:06Speaker 2: which would outlaw gay marriage. KFI took pro Prop eight
- 57:11Speaker 2: ads and ran them in our show. We were furious,
- 57:16Speaker 2: here were the gay couple, and we're hearing ads about
- 57:18Speaker 2: how gay shouldn't be able to get married. So what
- 57:21Speaker 2: we did is every time one of those ads would
- 57:25Speaker 2: run when we came back from break, no matter what
- 57:28Speaker 2: topic we were talking about, we would immediately talk about
- 57:32Speaker 2: Prop eight, how it was stupid, and how it should
- 57:33Speaker 2: be defeated, just immediately. And when the program director called us.
- 57:40Speaker 2: When the program director called us in about disparaging one
- 57:43Speaker 2: of their advertisers, I said, you took the ad under
- 57:47Speaker 2: freedom of speech. Well, we have the same freedom of speech,
- 57:51Speaker 2: and I'd love for you to fire us over the
- 57:53Speaker 2: fact that we are countering that ad because it will
- 57:55Speaker 2: do our career as a world of good dude, you
- 57:58Speaker 2: know now and me and him are still friends. Me
- 58:00Speaker 2: and David holl are still friends. And do you know
- 58:02Speaker 2: about ten years ago he apologized to me for that.
- 58:05Speaker 2: It took him fifteen years, but he said we should
- 58:08Speaker 2: have never taken that ad. It was disrespectful, it was wrong.
- 58:12Speaker 2: You know, we we shouldn't have run it during your show.
- 58:14Speaker 2: If we were going to take the ad, we should
- 58:16Speaker 2: not have run it during your show. And he was right,
- 58:19Speaker 2: they shouldn't have, but they did. And so I look
- 58:23Speaker 2: at this and say from that, I'm viewing this billboard
- 58:26Speaker 2: from that perspective, from a gay person who's been on
- 58:30Speaker 2: commercial radio and had an anti gay ad run during
- 58:33Speaker 2: our show, and then we were told we had the
- 58:36Speaker 2: right to refute it, so we did. So they have
- 58:38Speaker 2: the right to. I am Corel Bee, who you want
- 58:40Speaker 2: to be? So on them, hurt anybody. Hopefully Scott will
- 58:42Speaker 2: be back next week. I only say hopefully because bombs
- 58:44Speaker 2: are dropped, so you know, we don't know if his
- 58:47Speaker 2: internet will be will be good, But Scott, thank you.
- 58:49Speaker 2: Stay safe. All right, We're gone, we're out, We're by.
- 58:54Speaker 7: I can't see from a completely different point of view yours.
- 59:00Speaker 7: Listen daily to the Coral Cast on your favorite streaming service.
- 59:11Speaker 7: You're listening to the Corell Cast driving you home or
- 59:15Speaker 7: driving you crazy.
