  Speaker 4: Pride Daily. Hi there, I'm Kev McGrath. Coming up, putting
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: pride on ice. First though, more than a thousand people
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: have turned out for a memorial in Arizona in America
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: after the hate crime murders of two men outside a
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: gay bar. 42-year-old Vincent Anthony Siqueiros and Cameron Davis Capara,
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: who was 33, were shot dead at the Venture N
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: venue in Tucson. The gunman, whose name's irrelevant, also killed
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: himself shortly afterwards. He was found with a list of
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: LGBTQ plus businesses on him. Vincent's sister, Kate Marquez, spoke
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: at the vigil.
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: Every person here tonight has given Vincent something he spent
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: much of his life searching for. The knowledge that he
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: truly belonged. When he was asked to turn himself down,
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: he turned himself up. When people questioned his worth, he
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: stood taller. When people judged whom he loved, he loved harder.
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: Thanks to KOLD News 13. Evidence was also found at
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: the gunman's home the killings were motivated by hate.
• 2:14
  Speaker 6: Pride Daily.
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: Next, the school in Australia where kids are told the
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: gays are going to hell. St Peter's Lutheran College is
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: one of Brisbane's top Christian schools.
• 2:26
  Speaker 7: What?
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: There's a religious element here? And they had a guest
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: speaker in who, it would seem, wanted to groom its
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: youngest pupils into being hateful bigots. Some guy who's a
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: trainee from a local church. Big future ahead of him.
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: The school's now investigating and says it doesn't support any
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: message that undermines dignity. And you know how mahoosive queer
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: ice hockey drama heated rivalries become? Well, one real life
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: team in America didn't get the memo. Dallas Stars have
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: cancelled their annual Pride night game, replacing it with a
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: women in sports night because heaven forfend you have one
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: and the other. They are going to be holding a
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: Western night and a Star Wars night, though. No time
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: to tell you that. Munich's Oktoberfest is having its first
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: dedicated event for queer women. Beer, Boobs and Pretzels Monday
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: takes place later this month and it's already sold out.
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: And I'm now a member of the podcasters appearing on
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: other podcasters' podcast party. Catch me on the Jack Murley
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: Sports Show, not talking about sport. It's a spin-off series
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: called Off The Pitch, celebrating extraordinary LGBTQ plus people. And yes,
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: that does apply to me, actually. Hi there, I'm Kev McGrath.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: Coming up, bigots debase themselves in Berlin. First, though, to
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: Pennsylvania in the US, where four transgender people are thought
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: to have taken their own lives in the last year.
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: The Pittsburgh Lesbian Correspondents blog names them as Rosaline Mataboni,
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: who was 22, 40-year-old Riley Autumn Hart, Sydney Lou Walden,
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: who was 30, and 48-year-old Robin James Post. All the
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: deaths are unconnected in a state that's regarded as being
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: in the middle when it comes to trans rights and acceptance.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: Riley jumped from the Homestead Grays Bridge, leaving her brother
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: Robert Donovan devastated.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: For those who are struggling.
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: Please reach out to somebody that you love.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: Just a phone call. And if you know somebody, call them.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: I just can't help but to think one phone call
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: could have changed this whole thing. Thanks to CBS Pittsburgh,
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: Riley was known for handing out small hearts, while Rosaline
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: liked technology and Pokemon. Sydney enjoyed music and nature, and
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: Robin loved his fur babies, Maddie and Bosley.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: Pride Daily.
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: Next, a maple tree planted at the site of the
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: Berlin Pride terror attack has been ripped out by vandals.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: It comes just days after a rainbow bench, which was
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: also part of a memorial at Tiergarten Park, was destroyed.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: A woman was killed and 31 people were injured on
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: July 25th when a van was rammed into crowds. And
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: something a bit less depressing, because good grief, we need it.
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: The Archbishop of Naples in Italy is telling the Catholic
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: Church to support transgender people, not judge them. Cardinal Domenico
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: Battaglia says no one is excluded from the heart of God. Well,
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: maybe that guy in the White House. Reckons the church
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: needs to listen more and renew its focus on humanity
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: so it can cross new thresholds, as he puts it.
• 5:57
  Speaker 8: If you've ever felt like your family didn't fit the
• 6:00
  Speaker 8: traditional mold, this show is for you. I'm Jamie, host
• 6:04
  Speaker 8: of the Queer Family Podcast. And every week we highlight
• 6:08
  Speaker 8: LGBTQIA plus families and the beautiful, unique ways we build
• 6:13
  Speaker 8: and show up for our families. in a world that
• 6:16
  Speaker 8: wasn't designed for us. We celebrate, highlight, uplift and normalise
• 6:21
  Speaker 8: queer families because our stories deserve centre stage. New episodes
• 6:26
  Speaker 8: every Monday. Listen wherever you get.
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: Your pods.
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: Hi there, I'm Kev McGrath. Coming up, the school anti-hate
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: guidance being de-queered. First though, Two women who've tortured and
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: killed a transgender man in America have got life in
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: prison without parole. Sam Norquist was held in a motel
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: room for a month early last year by seven people.
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: He was caged, starved, beaten, sexually assaulted, covered in bleach,
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: forced to drink urine and eat excrement. The 24-year-old's body
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: was later found in a field in Ontario County, New York.
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: Ringleader Precious Arzuaga and Jennifer Chiano both admitted a number
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: of charges, including first-degree murder.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: This is the type of case that nightmares come from.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: This is the worst of the worst.
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: The depravity of this case, what Sam went through, what
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: they did to Sam, is deplorable and disgusting, inhuman. It's
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: not human.
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: Someone held against their will and systemically tortured for weeks
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: on end is not common.
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: Local district attorneys James Nobles and Sarah Van Strydonk Sam
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: had met Arzuaga on TikTok and thought she was his girlfriend.
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: Of the four other people involved, two have pleaded guilty
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: to second-degree murder. The remaining three are due to go
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: on trial. Next, a transgender woman who was raped in
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: Austria was then turned away by two hospitals because of
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: her gender identity. And Viola only got treatment at a
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: third hospital after police piled on the pressure. Actually happened
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: in May, but she's now decided to go public, says
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: one doctor asked her, if we look between your legs,
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: what will we find? She's filed criminal charges against all
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: the hospitals. And guidance for how schools in South Korea
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: should respond to hate and discrimination has had LGBTQ plus
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: references removed. Earlier drafts of a new guidebook specifically mention
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: sexual orientation and gender identity, but the final version doesn't.
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: It's thought this is because of the fear of complaints
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: from right-wingers and Bible bashers. No time to tell you that.
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: Australia's Newcastle Pride Festival Fair Day has been paused till
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: next year. Organisers say they've struggled to raise the money
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: they need despite last year's record attendance of more than 18,000 people.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: Hi there, I'm.
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: Birthday boy Kev McGrath. Coming up, fists and homophobia. First though,
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: two New York bartenders could become the first LGBTQ plus
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: America's favourite couple. Evan Enslow and Aaron Pryor in the
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: final 14 of the competition out of 200,000 hopefuls and
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: could win $ 20, 000. The pair have been together three years,
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: and as Aaron tells PIX11 News, there's been a recent development.
• 9:39
  Speaker 6: Just proposed to Evan just a couple months ago. I
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: made a whole movie and did a surprise film for
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: him with 50 of our family members that flew in,
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: and I just love this man with my whole heart.
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: This happened in a cinema. Aaron hired a movie theatre
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: for this. America's Favourite Couples, a charity fundraiser, launched last
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: year by the actor Jeff Goldblum and his wife Emily.
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: Another prize is dinner with them in the Hollywood Hills. Fancy.
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: Voting closes today and the winners announced on October 9th. Next,
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: Vietnam's Miss Universe competition has banned transgender women. It comes
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: barely two months after organisers specifically said they could compete
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: as long as the participants' legal and medical documents were
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: in order. Now the criteria has been updated so only
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: female citizens recognised by Vietnamese law and medicine are eligible,
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: a standard that can't actually be met because of legal
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: grey areas. And an amusement park in Italy has covered
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: up one of its games because of its homophobic scoring system.
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: It's one of those you punch, and if you don't
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: hit it hard enough, you're rated as gay. The lower
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: end of the scale also includes young lady and disabled.
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: Bosses at Luna Park in Tuscany say the El Toro
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: games are a very old attraction, and the offensive terms
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: have now been hidden with tape. No time to tell
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: you that. Global Black Pride started in Paris, got an
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: awards due tomorrow and a march on Saturday. And queer
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: film festivals get going today in Cork in Ireland and
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: Vancouver in Canada.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: We'll see you next time.

• 12:34
  Speaker 4: Pride Daily. Hi there, I'm Kev McGrath, and on the
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: 25th anniversary of the September 11th terror attacks in America,
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: we remember some of the LGBTQ plus heroes who stepped up. First,
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: gay PR exec and rugby player Mark Bingham, who was
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: on the hijacked Flight 93 to San Francisco. We think
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: al-Qaeda terrorists planned to crash the plane in Washington, D.C.,
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: either into the Capitol building or the White House. 31-year-old
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: Mark called his mother, Alice Hoagland, from the aircraft.
• 13:08
  Speaker 7: This was about 15 minutes before he met his death.
• 13:11
  Speaker 7: He said, Mom, I just want to tell you I
• 13:12
  Speaker 7: love you. I'm on a flight from Newark to San Francisco.
• 13:17
  Speaker 7: And there are three guys on board, there turned out
• 13:19
  Speaker 7: to be four, who have taken over the plane and
• 13:22
  Speaker 7: they say they have a bomb in He became distracted
• 13:24
  Speaker 7: as if someone was speaking to him. And then he
• 13:26
  Speaker 7: came back on. There was noise on the line and
• 13:29
  Speaker 7: then the phone went dead.
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: Alice rang back and got through to Mark's voicemail. She
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: wanted to fill him in on the day's other hijackings.
• 13:37
  Speaker 7: Tell them that they're planning to use the plane as
• 13:40
  Speaker 7: a suicide missile against some site on the ground. and
• 13:43
  Speaker 7: that nobody on the ground is going to help him,
• 13:45
  Speaker 7: that he needs to group some people together. He's good
• 13:48
  Speaker 7: at that because he's a rugby captain. Find some guys
• 13:52
  Speaker 7: who are on board who are equal to the job
• 13:54
  Speaker 7: and break into the cockpit and take over the airplane.
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: Alice, who died nearly six years ago, was speaking to
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: the Camler Show in 2014. We don't know if Mark
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: ever heard her message, but he and three other passengers
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: did bring down the plane in a field in Pennsylvania.
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: Everyone on board was killed, but the lives of very
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: many more were saved with the aircraft just 20 minutes
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: away from Washington. International inclusive rugby tournament, the Bingham Cup,
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: was created in his honour in 2002 and takes place
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: every other year. Next, Father Michael Judge, a gay Catholic
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: priest who is officially recognised as the first victim of 9-11.
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: The 68-year-old was the chaplain for New York's fire department
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: and he rushed to the World Trade Center after it
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: was attacked by two planes. He died after being hit
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: by debris from the collapsing South Tower whilst administering the
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: last rites and comforting people at the North Tower. During
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: the 1980s, Father Michael cared for AIDS patients and conducted
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: their funerals. His sexuality wasn't widely known during his life,
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: and he maintained a vow of celibacy. And Jessica DeLong
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: was part of the effort to get much-needed water to
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: Ground Zero. Back then, the bisexual writer was a volunteer
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: assistant engineer on one of the fire department's retired boats,
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: the John J.
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: Harvey.
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: The vessel was brought back into service, pumping seawater to
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: fire trucks for 80 continuous hours until water mains had
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: been repaired. It was used for evacuations as well, saving
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: maybe as many as 200 lives. When Jessica wasn't working
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: in the engine room, she also helped sort through tons
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: of donations, says there never seemed to be enough respirators,
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: gloves or hard hats, but they had more nappies and
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: hand puppets than they knew what to do with. No
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: time to tell you that. It's Northern Ireland's Trans Pride
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: NI tomorrow in Belfast, and you've got Ukraine's Kharkiv Pride
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: on Sunday. There's more on our socials at Pride Daily Pod,
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: including any breaking news. That's your lot. I'll see you
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: next week.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: We'll see you next time.
