• 0:08
  Speaker 1: You pushed a girl down the stairs. I'm going to

  Speaker 1: tell everyone you attacked me.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Let me go! I hate you!
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: Investigations continue into the disappearance of Danny Carter.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: You're never letting me go, are you? Is anyone feeling

  Speaker 2: sad or anxious now?
• 0:26
  Speaker 4: All right.

  Speaker 7: Pride Daily. Hi there, I'm Kev McGrath. Coming up, are
• 1:17
  Speaker 7: gay adoption bans to be overturned? First, though, after an
• 1:22
  Speaker 7: anti-transgender zealot lost another appeal over a discrimination conviction in Australia,
• 1:28
  Speaker 7: she now reckons she's leaving the country. Sal Grover ran
• 1:32
  Speaker 7: a female-only social media app called Giggle for Girls and
• 1:36
  Speaker 7: revoked the membership of a trans woman in 2021, accusing
• 1:40
  Speaker 7: Roxanne Tickle of not looking female enough. Five years on,
• 1:44
  Speaker 7: the attention-seeking bigots finally run out of legal road after
• 1:48
  Speaker 7: the High Court basically told her to sit down. Let's
• 1:52
  Speaker 7: hear from Roxanne speaking a few months back about how
• 1:55
  Speaker 7: she's been affected by all this.
• 1:56
  Speaker 8: Seeking justice for the discrimination has stolen over four of
• 2:00
  Speaker 8: my eight years since I began my gender affirmation. Those
• 2:03
  Speaker 8: years were intended to be the most joyful years of
• 2:06
  Speaker 8: my life, a time for me to live my life
• 2:08
  Speaker 8: and truly be who I am. But that joy was
• 2:10
  Speaker 8: ripped from me.
• 2:11
  Speaker 7: Grover has to pay Roxanne $ 20, 000 compensation, which was doubled
• 2:16
  Speaker 7: when she lost an earlier appeal. Claims she's leaving Australia
• 2:20
  Speaker 7: because she's got no respect for the government, institutions or
• 2:24
  Speaker 7: the judiciary. Lack of respect seems to be a bit
• 2:27
  Speaker 7: of a theme with her.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Pride Daily.
• 2:30
  Speaker 7: Next, the adoptive parents of a transgender woman who took
• 2:34
  Speaker 7: her own life in Spain are accused of forcing her
• 2:37
  Speaker 7: to detransition after her death. The grave of Daniela MS
• 2:42
  Speaker 7: in Alicante features her previous name, male pronouns and photos
• 2:47
  Speaker 7: of her pre-transition. She died four and a half years
• 2:50
  Speaker 7: ago at the age of 21. Her Christian parents, who
• 2:53
  Speaker 7: previously put her through conversion therapy, could now be facing
• 2:56
  Speaker 7: hate crime charges. Pride Daily. And there's a promise to
• 3:01
  Speaker 7: overturn the gay adoption ban in Hungary. Prime Minister Peter
• 3:05
  Speaker 7: Magyar says restrictions brought in by his far-right predecessor in
• 3:11
  Speaker 7: 2020 are being scrapped. Going to go back to having
• 3:13
  Speaker 7: adoption decisions overseen by child welfare professionals rather than politicians.
• 3:19
  Speaker 7: No time to tell you that. Turkey's been cracking down
• 3:22
  Speaker 7: on LGBTQ plus organisations with police raids on their offices.
• 3:27
  Speaker 7: The far-right government says it's protecting family values. About 50
• 3:31
  Speaker 7: arrests have been made. Hi there, I'm Kev McGrath. An
• 3:37
  Speaker 7: extra one for you, just cause. And we'll start in Australia,
• 3:41
  Speaker 7: where yet more police raids have been carried out in
• 3:44
  Speaker 7: Sydney's main LGBTQ plus area. A number of venues were
• 3:48
  Speaker 7: targeted by, we think, 17 officers with sniffer dogs looking
• 3:53
  Speaker 7: for drugs in the second operation of its kind in
• 3:56
  Speaker 7: three months. This claims customers were ordered to remove clothing
• 4:00
  Speaker 7: in public view and asked what they were doing in
• 4:02
  Speaker 7: the bathroom. Police say there were 28 drug detections with
• 4:06
  Speaker 7: no arrests and no charges. Next, an update on those
• 4:11
  Speaker 7: anti-queer raids in Turkey we told you about earlier. Not
• 4:14
  Speaker 7: just LGBTQ plus organisations affected across the country, but also
• 4:19
  Speaker 7: the homes of activists and HIV support groups. Plus the
• 4:23
  Speaker 7: websites of organisations have been blocked, including Amnesty International. Maybe
• 4:28
  Speaker 7: more than 160 people arrested in the name of protecting
• 4:32
  Speaker 7: children and families. And a rainbow bench at the site
• 4:37
  Speaker 7: of the Berlin Pride terror attack has been replaced after
• 4:41
  Speaker 7: being destroyed by knuckle-draggers. It's part of a memorial at
• 4:45
  Speaker 7: Tiergarten Park and a maple tree planted there was uprooted.
• 4:49
  Speaker 7: One person killed and 31 injured in July. when a
• 4:53
  Speaker 7: van was rammed into crowds. There's been similar anti-queer vandalism
• 4:57
  Speaker 7: elsewhere in Germany, including swastikas spray-painted on a cultural centre's
• 5:02
  Speaker 7: rainbow banners in Cottbus in the east. Hi there, I'm
• 5:08
  Speaker 7: Kev McGrath. Coming up, right-wingers are so gay. First though,
• 5:15
  Speaker 7: the Lesbian Simulator. This is a virtual reality experience that
• 5:20
  Speaker 7: lets players step into the life of a queer woman,
• 5:23
  Speaker 7: created by Dutch artist Iris van der Mule. It's inspired
• 5:28
  Speaker 7: by the negativity that sometimes come away because of a sexuality.
• 5:32
  Speaker 7: Through an avatar, you attempt to navigate the likes of
• 5:35
  Speaker 7: going on a date, flirting in a nightclub, and coming
• 5:38
  Speaker 7: out to friends and family with the range of reactions
• 5:41
  Speaker 7: you get. Iris tells CNL what she's trying to achieve
• 5:47
  Speaker 7: with this.
• 5:47
  Speaker 9: It's to really highlight the more subtle forms of exclusion,
• 5:51
  Speaker 9: discrimination and homophobia within our society. And also to really
• 5:55
  Speaker 9: highlight the importance of the non-queer audience and the people
• 5:59
  Speaker 9: around the queer community about their role in also creating
• 6:03
  Speaker 9: a more accepting world and environment for everyone. And of
• 6:06
  Speaker 9: course to really show how awesome lesbians really are.
• 6:09
  Speaker 7: Hell yeah! The simulator has been pitching up at festivals
• 6:13
  Speaker 7: around the world. You can currently find it at the
• 6:16
  Speaker 7: Toronto International Film Festival. Next, four teenagers have been convicted
• 6:23
  Speaker 7: of harassment in northeast France after a gay classmate took
• 6:27
  Speaker 7: his own life off the back of relentless homophobic bullying.
• 6:32
  Speaker 7: The body of 13-year-old Lucas was found at his family
• 6:35
  Speaker 7: home in January 2023. It's claimed Louis-Armand de Golby High
• 6:40
  Speaker 7: School was told repeatedly about the abuse but didn't take
• 6:43
  Speaker 7: it seriously. Two boys and two girls convicted thought they'd
• 6:47
  Speaker 7: got away with this thanks to a previous court ruling
• 6:50
  Speaker 7: in their favour. It's been overturned on appeal though and
• 6:53
  Speaker 7: they're now waiting to find out their punishment. And there's
• 6:58
  Speaker 7: a threat to ban LGBTQ plus content on Italian TV.
• 7:03
  Speaker 7: It's part of a new far-right political party's manifesto, so
• 7:07
  Speaker 7: what they're calling homosexualist and genderist programmes wouldn't be shown
• 7:12
  Speaker 7: between 6 in the morning and 11 at night. National
• 7:15
  Speaker 7: Future says it's to protect the children. Boring! They also
• 7:20
  Speaker 7: want to ban gender-affirming care for kids. No time to
• 7:25
  Speaker 7: tell you that. A grinder outage in Dallas in America
• 7:28
  Speaker 7: has coincided with the Republican Party convention taking place there,
• 7:33
  Speaker 7: The dating app for queer men often seems to go
• 7:35
  Speaker 7: down in places where these hard right haters are congregating.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Did you always want to become a teacher?
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: For as long as I can remember. Danny! Shut up!
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: He pushed a girl down the stairs. I'm going to
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: tell everyone you attacked me.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Let me go! I hate you!
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: Investigations continue into the disappearance of Danny Carter.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: You're never letting me go, are you? Is anyone feeling
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: sad or anxious now?
• 8:08
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: Bad apples in Simmons, September 18th. Insert 15A. Slit lamp biomicroscopy.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Ocular motility. Pupillary responses. Anterior structures. This is a list
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: of what's included in a routine adult eye test. And
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: at Specsavers, you get all this absolutely free with PRSI
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: or medical card or only € 30 without. Well, you know us.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: We've always been keen on doing a lot for a
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: little money. Refractive status. Specsavers. A lot for a little.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Cross cylinder.
• 8:37
  Speaker 7: Ugh.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: He's still going. Conditions apply.
• 8:44
  Speaker 7: Hi there, I'm Kev McGrath. Coming up, an LGBTQ plus
• 8:50
  Speaker 7: milestone in tennis. First though, tear gas has been used
• 8:56
  Speaker 7: on demonstrators in Turkey pushing back against anti-queer police raids
• 9:01
  Speaker 7: across the country. About 200 protesters have turned out in
• 9:04
  Speaker 7: Izmir in the West, one of the areas where LGBTQ
• 9:08
  Speaker 7: plus venues and organisations and the homes of activists were
• 9:12
  Speaker 7: targeted last weekend. Dozens of people arrested, with many more
• 9:16
  Speaker 7: facing legal action. The office of queer news outlet KausGL.org
• 9:21
  Speaker 7: was among those raided. Editor-in-chief Yildiz Tarr says two seemingly
• 9:26
  Speaker 7: innocuous articles are under scrutiny.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: One of them is about Agatha all along. a Marvel
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: TV series, and two lead female characters are kissing each
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: other and they say that this is an obscene scene.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Another one is from a soccer field. Two male football
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: players are kissing each other and they say that this
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: is obscene. So they are basically saying that the very
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: existence of LGBTQI people is an obscene thing.
• 9:52
  Speaker 7: Thanks to Friends24. And like other queer organisations in Turkey,
• 9:56
  Speaker 7: the website and social media accounts of KaosGL.org have now
• 10:00
  Speaker 7: been blocked. A long-running anti-LGBTQ plus crackdown in Turkey, led
• 10:06
  Speaker 7: by President Erdogan, aims to protect family values. He calls
• 10:10
  Speaker 7: queer people a deviant movement of perverts.
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: Pride Daily.
• 10:15
  Speaker 7: Next, a doctor who linked queer people with paedophiles has
• 10:19
  Speaker 7: been cautioned in Australia. Thomas Brough, who's also on the
• 10:23
  Speaker 7: local council in Albany, said the plus of LGBTQ plus
• 10:28
  Speaker 7: includes minor attracted persons, nudge nudge, wink wink, rightly leading
• 10:33
  Speaker 7: to lots of complaints. Western Australia's state administrative tribunals ruled
• 10:39
  Speaker 7: he's guilty of unprofessional conduct. It's thought there'll now be
• 10:42
  Speaker 7: a link to this decision next to his name in
• 10:45
  Speaker 7: the health regulator's official register. And two out gay male
• 10:52
  Speaker 7: professional tennis players have become the first to compete with
• 10:55
  Speaker 7: each other in a final. Mika Brunold's beaten Jao Lucas
• 10:59
  Speaker 7: Race to Silver at a tournament in Australia. Race to
• 11:03
  Speaker 7: Silver became the first out gay male pro tennis player.
• 11:07
  Speaker 7: That's a mouthful, isn't it? Back in 2024. inspiring Bruno
• 11:11
  Speaker 7: to share his truth about a year later. And that's
• 11:14
  Speaker 7: how he repays his mentor by defeating him. No time
• 11:18
  Speaker 7: to tell you that. Bisexual Awareness Week kicks off today,
• 11:22
  Speaker 7: part of Bisexual Visibility Month and incorporating Bi Visibility Day.
• 11:27
  Speaker 7: And if you don't know more about bisexuals by the
• 11:30
  Speaker 7: end of all this, I can't help you. Hi there,
• 11:35
  Speaker 7: I'm Kev McGrath. Coming up, The United Nations goes nuclear
• 11:39
  Speaker 7: on Russian homophobia. First, though, more on the pushback to
• 11:45
  Speaker 7: last weekend's anti-queer police raids across Turkey. LGBTQ plus venues
• 11:50
  Speaker 7: and organisations and the homes of activists were targeted, with
• 11:54
  Speaker 7: dozens of arrests and dozens more people facing legal action
• 11:58
  Speaker 7: or part of a campaign known as My Family is Safe. Well,
• 12:03
  Speaker 7: on top of the demonstrations in Izmir in the West
• 12:06
  Speaker 7: we covered yesterday, more than 150 people have been arrested
• 12:10
  Speaker 7: in Istanbul during protests outside a courthouse. This man was there.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: This is just reactionary policies that the government is trying
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: to enact.
• 12:17
  Speaker 8: These are obviously unconstitutional. These are against the law because
• 12:20
  Speaker 8: they can't really touch people's sexuality, but they're doing this
• 12:22
  Speaker 8: under the guise of protecting family values, yada, yada, yada.
• 12:24
  Speaker 7: Thanks to Channel 4 News. Meanwhile, protests in Ankara, that's
• 12:28
  Speaker 7: northwest Turkey, have seen five transgender women arrested. Being queer
• 12:34
  Speaker 7: is legal in Turkey, but President Erdogan refers to LGBTQ
• 12:39
  Speaker 7: plus people as perverts. Got elections within the next 18
• 12:42
  Speaker 7: months in what's quite a homophobic country, and maybe all
• 12:46
  Speaker 7: this will get him some votes.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: This is maybe one of the reasons why he's going
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: on with this crackdown now under the name of My
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: Family is Safe, you know. He's been promising to his voters...
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: and also to some religious communities who were supporting him,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: that he would do that.
• 13:07
  Speaker 7: Journalist Banu Güven speaking to Channel 4 News from Turkey.
• 13:11
  Speaker 7: The websites and social media of some of the LGBTQ
• 13:15
  Speaker 7: plus groups and individuals targeted have been restricted. Pride Daily. Next,
• 13:21
  Speaker 7: a top Russian official at the United Nations nuclear watchdog
• 13:24
  Speaker 7: has been suspended for calling gay and lesbian people perverts.
• 13:29
  Speaker 7: Where have I heard that before? This is in a
• 13:31
  Speaker 7: self-help book written by Mikhail Chudakov, in which he also
• 13:35
  Speaker 7: referred to same-sex relationships as sinful deviations. I think I
• 13:40
  Speaker 7: bought their last album. Had the nerve to promote his
• 13:43
  Speaker 7: lousy literature to a UN youth group as well. The
• 13:46
  Speaker 7: International Atomic Energy Agency's put him on leave. And defeat
• 13:53
  Speaker 7: for a bigoted school board in America. absolutely bent over
• 13:57
  Speaker 7: backwards to stop an lgbtq plus inclusive club being set
• 14:02
  Speaker 7: up things got legal after boneheads at king george county
• 14:06
  Speaker 7: school in virginia approved a gay straight alliance as the
• 14:10
  Speaker 7: known then kept moving the goalposts to block it after
• 14:14
  Speaker 7: right wingers kicked off on facebook the school was being
• 14:18
  Speaker 7: sued but now it's back down rather than let this
• 14:21
  Speaker 7: go to trial And I'm sure all the students now
• 14:24
  Speaker 7: have way more respect for the board.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Did you always want to.
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: Become a teacher?
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: For as long as I can remember. Daddy! Shut up!
• 14:37
  Speaker 7: He pushed a.
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: Girl down the stairs.
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: I'm going to tell everyone you attacked me.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: Let me go! I hate you!
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: Investigations continue into the disappearance of Danny Carter.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: You're never letting me go, are you? Is anyone feeling
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: sad or anxious now?
• 14:55
  Speaker 8: All right.

  Speaker 7: Pride Daily. Hi there, I'm Kev McGrath. Coming up, Big
• 15:47
  Speaker 7: Gay Beaver Day. First though, Turkey's huge push against LGBTQ
• 15:54
  Speaker 7: plus organisations and individuals has now led to hundreds of arrests.
• 15:59
  Speaker 7: Followers police raids last weekend across the country in the
• 16:02
  Speaker 7: name of protecting the family, with more people held after
• 16:06
  Speaker 7: subsequent widespread protests against this victimisation. It's thought more than
• 16:12
  Speaker 7: 60 have been put in prison on remand. Belinda Dears
• 16:16
  Speaker 7: from the LGBTQ plus rights group ILGA Europe.
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: There is a specific campaign by the government that paints
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: LGBTI people and organising as a national security threat. They
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: pretend to defend the family, even though they're even arresting
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: and detaining the families of LGBTI people who have been detained.
• 16:38
  Speaker 7: Websites and social media accounts have also been blocked, including
• 16:42
  Speaker 7: those of journalists and Amnesty International. In Australia, meanwhile, a
• 16:47
  Speaker 7: protest planned in Sydney on Sunday off the back of
• 16:50
  Speaker 7: police raids in the main LGBTQ plus area there. 17
• 16:55
  Speaker 7: officers with sniffer dogs descended on a number of venues
• 16:58
  Speaker 7: last weekend, the second time this has happened in three months. Next,
• 17:05
  Speaker 7: after the Berlin Pride terror attack, Germany's planning tougher laws.
• 17:09
  Speaker 7: A van was rammed into crowds in July by a
• 17:12
  Speaker 7: man who pledged allegiance to the Islamic State terror group,
• 17:15
  Speaker 7: killing one person and injuring 31 others. New measures to
• 17:19
  Speaker 7: deal with militant violence would see more use of electronic tags.
• 17:24
  Speaker 7: Killer Abdul Balut was sentenced to prison in May for
• 17:27
  Speaker 7: preparing an attack. but was then freed under supervision. Stricter
• 17:32
  Speaker 7: knife laws are also planned. And happy Big Gay Beaver
• 17:38
  Speaker 7: Day Eve, everyone. Tomorrow's event's the work of the Queerled
• 17:42
  Speaker 7: Citizen Zoo in Ealing in London, and they're all about rewilding.
• 17:46
  Speaker 7: Part of that's reintroducing the rodents to more areas of
• 17:50
  Speaker 7: the capital. There's guided tours of a beaver enclosure, followed
• 17:53
  Speaker 7: by entertainment, including a lesbian pop-up arm-wrestling bar, and drag
• 17:58
  Speaker 7: performer Bren Wood. There's more on our socials, at Pride
• 18:03
  Speaker 7: Daily Pod, including any breaking news. That's your lot. I'll
• 18:08
  Speaker 7: see you next week.
