  Speaker 2: staring at all the drinks. With so much to choose from,
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: where do you even start? Now, I can't solve the
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: bar problem, but when it comes to history, the Irish
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: History Podcast is a great place to begin. You'll discover
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: why the Romans never invaded Ireland or how a Dublin
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: woman became Adolf Hitler's sister-in-law. From deep dives into the

  Speaker 1: to right now.

  Speaker 3: Hi there, I'm Kev McGrath. Coming up, should gay people
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: have equal rights? A far-right politician isn't sure. First, though.

  Speaker 3: A promise from hateful religious nutjob Oscar Bogart to make
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Cape Town LGBTQ plus free if he's elected mayor. Says
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: people should vote for the straight party that he's just
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: made up in November's elections. He's not actually a candidate,
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: it's just the latest nonsense in his long-running anti-queer obsession
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: that's earned him multiple convictions for hate speech. Bogart's previously
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: claimed 99% of paedophiles are homosexuals And gay people should
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: be in a cage defying court orders just to shut
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: the hell up.
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: My belief is that the Bible teaches me that when
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: it comes to same-sex unions and marriages, this is an abomination.
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: There's nothing that I can do. That is what the
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: Bible says. The Bible gives us clear instructions what should
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: happen to people that is in homosexual relationships.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: The Bigger also reckons he'd withdraw funding for World Pride
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: Day 2028, which is being hosted by Cape Town. says
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: the event's an abomination to all God-fearing people. I might
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: open a gay bar there just to annoy him and
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: call it abomination. Next, Australia's far-right One Nation Party's at
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: it again. One of its top people says he's in
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: two minds about whether gay people should have equal rights.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: Malcolm Roberts made the comment on stage at a Christian conference...
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: which you may also care to refer to as a
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: jamboree of judgement, or indeed a hootenanny of hypocrisy, said
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: he doesn't have a firm position on this because he's
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: not homosexual and can't understand it. He's also not black,
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: so I imagine his views on racism aren't nailed down either.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: And asexual artist Yayoi Kusama has died at the age
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: of 97. She was famous for her vibrant polka dot creations,
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: pumpkin sculptures and infinity mirror rooms. Yayoi was born in
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: 1929 in Japan and experienced hallucinations her whole life, which
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: she channeled into art. No time to tell you that.
