  Speaker 3: many as two percent of the population falling through the
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: game when it comes to the likes of legal protections,
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: employment and access to healthcare and education. But laws are
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: now being reviewed off the back of a High Court challenge.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: This is actually ongoing, but it's already prompted the government
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: to act. Travel can be an issue for intersex people
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: as well.
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: If you imagine someone's they.
• 1:23
  Speaker 5: You're a gear.
• 1:24
  Speaker 6: But now what is presented for us is a point
• 1:28
  Speaker 6: you see in having to keep on explaining yourself everywhere
• 1:32
  Speaker 6: you get to, is it?
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: Government minister Egger Moyo speaking to Star FM. The people
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: and organizations have taken this to court one, amongst other things,
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: a third gender marker and no more surgery on intersex kids,
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: Pride Daily to South Korean XT and another push to
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: overhaul the country's LGBTQ plus sign language because some of
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: it's quite offensive. For example, the terms gay and lesbian
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: a report presented by graphic sexual gestures ones for anal
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: sex while the others are meant to be two women
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: rubbing their bodies together. Human rights groups have submitted a
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: petition to the National Institute of Korean Language, calling again
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: for alternatives created back in twenty twenty one to finally
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: be adopted. Pride Daily and after an LGBTQ plus cruise
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: ship was turned away by Turkey and Egypt, recently a
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: different one has been allowed to dock in extremely anti
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: queer Morocco. The celebrity Equinox stopped for nine hours in
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: Tangier in the northwest, allowing passengers to go see the sites.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: It's led to outrage on social media. Outrage I tells
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: you after people found out the queers had been walking
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: among them. They say it shouldn't have been allowed because
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: homosexualities allegal there. Pride daily either. I'm keV McGrath coming
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: up Putin's PayPal purge first. Though, Slovakia's antiqueer government seems
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: to think it can be a part of the European
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: Union while ignoring the bloc's rules on marriage equality. It's
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: not been legalized in the country, but since last November,
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: member states have had to recognize marriages conducted elsewhere in
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: the EU Slovakian's methods. Spartsek and Ivan Novotni got married
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: in Austria six years ago. Authorities at home aren't playing
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: ballbo and they plan to sue.
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: As long as their marriages are not recognized. LGBTQ people
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: will inevitably feel discriminated against, feel like second class citizens.
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: Many will feel they have to live in the closet
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: or try to hide their sexual orientation in public from
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: acquaintances or from their employers.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Mit Toad speaking to DW there. Slovakia's Prime Minister is
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: Robert Fiso. How would we look If a same sex
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: couple could register a marriage at the Civil Registry office.
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: When the constitution only for a marriage between a man
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: and a woman, we would look like fools.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: Thanks again to DW. Fizo, who's got a very square head,
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: has trampled all over LGBTQ plus rights since Slovakia. Perhaps
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: to distract from his very square head, the European Commission
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: says his country's got legal commitments as an EU member state,
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: and in not so many words, sanctions have been threatened.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: Pride Daily next Russia's censored the LGBTQ plus references from
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: the autobiography of Pope Francis. These include the bits where
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: he says homosexuality isn't a crime, that gay and transgender
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: people are welcome in the Catholic Church, and he talks
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: about blessing same sex unions. President Vladimir Putin's had them
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: blacked out of the printed version in Russia, where the
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: nonexistent international lgbt movement is designated an extremist organization. Both
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Francis died last year and had worked to make the
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: church more inclusive. Pride Daily and Nicholas Keenan's become the
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: Men's Hockey World Cups first out bisexual player. The twenty
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: nine year old has been competing for Argentina against Japan
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: and later his side faces the Netherlands. And this is
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: where things could get tricky because the Netherlands Prime Minister
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: Rob Yetten is Nicholas's Fyonce, so someone could be sleeping
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: on the couch if he plays too well.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Queer Fellow Podcast.

• 6:24
  Speaker 3: One Nation parties really ramping up its efforts to utterly
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: repel queer voters. It's only a few days since failed
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: election candidate Paminda Singh was forced to apologize for calling
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: homosexuality and mental illness, and now Tyron Witten, the hate
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: group's Senator for Wes and Australia, has said pretty much
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: the same thing. But transgender people.
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: Is male, there's female, and then there's mental illness. If
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: you want to wear a dress, that's fine, I don't care.
• 6:54
  Speaker 6: But they can't keep saying that he gives that's normal,
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: it's not. You're going to be a boy? Are you
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: going to be a girl? And parents that promoting this,
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: I think that's trial abuse.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: He's been speaking to Billboard Battalion, a populis conspiracy theory outlet.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: Oh and just for good measure, you've also got the
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: One Nation leader Pauline Hansen, who's been doubling down on
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: comments from thirty years ago. The seventy two year olds
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: reiterated her dislike of Sydney's gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras,
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: which she said at the time was promoting something that
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: is not natural, much like the color of her hair.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: Pride Daily next, an LGBTQ plus man could be deported
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: back to Uganda from Germany later, where being queer carries
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: the death penalty. Mark Z is currently in a detention
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: center at Munich Airport after escaping his home country. Says
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: he was tortured there for his sexuality, leaving him with
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: severe PTSD and depression. Authorities in Bavaria aren't convinced he's queer,
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: despite his ex boyfriend providing intimate details about the relationship.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: Mark's lawyer and human rights groups are pushing for an
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: emergency block on the deportation. Pride Daily and Honjuras wants
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: to ban conversion therapy. Outlawing attempts to change a person's
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: sexuality or gender identity is part of a new LGBTQ
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: plus protection law being proposed, but also make it easier
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: for trans people to officially change their name and gender
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: markers past. The law aims to target antiqueer violence and discrimination.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: No time to tell you that. It's the opening ceremony
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: of the LGBTQ Plus Rugby World Cup later in Brisbane, Australia.

  Speaker 3: resilience pride daily Hither I'm keV McGrath coming up step

  Speaker 3: forward for same sex surrogacy in Australia first, though, the
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: Russian LGBT Network, possibly the last remaining queer advocacy organization
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: left in the country, has shut down. A statement from
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: them says after it was designated as extremists by President
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: Putin a few months ago, the safety of anyone linked
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: to it would be at risk. Over the last twenty years,
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: the network provided free legal help, plus psychological and emergency support,
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: whilst also documenting hate crimes. It won an award back
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: in twenty thirteen from LGBTQ plus magazine Attitude and Listen
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: to how prescient the acceptance speech was.
• 9:41
  Speaker 7: I hope the events which are happening now in Russia,
• 9:44
  Speaker 7: Uganda and other countries where homophobia became official state policies
• 9:49
  Speaker 7: have made the people of the West understand that equality
• 9:51
  Speaker 7: and freedom are not given once for all time.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: These are values we have to fight for every day countless.
• 9:59

  Speaker 3: offered at state run medical colleges. Pride Daily and a
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: gay couple in Western Australia have won the Supreme Court
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: fight to be surrogate parents. Trend and Brad Dunn were
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: told only the Straits can have this option, so they
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: got legal in twenty twenty three. Judges have now said
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: its discrimination, making the guys the first same sex pair
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: to be approved for surrogacy. A law change due next
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: year will fix to some fairness, but because of the
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: court verdict, the Duns are good to go now. Don't
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: have to wait, and they've already found a surrogate. No
• 11:15

  Speaker 1: In West Cork, it's simply known as the Murder. In
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: nineteen ninety six, French film producer Sophie Toscanda Plantier is
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: found dead near her holiday home. The police suspect one man,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: but they can't make a charge stick and he refuses
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: to leave, becoming the embodiment of everyone's unsettled nerves.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: For people in West Cork, the murder that changed the
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: character of their peaceful home has become about something completely different.

  Speaker 1: classics at the ACAS dot com Forward Slash Classics.
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: Pride Daily. Hi there, I'm keV McGrath. A bit longer
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: than usual today because I am a giver coming up
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: the homo history of Queer Cork. First though, let me
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: give you the satisfaction of hearing a dirty rotten transphobe
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: being called out to a dirty, rotten, transphobic face culture warrior.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: Lorena Biasotti's on a school board in Las Vegas and
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: turned up for a public meeting wearing an anti transgender
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: T shirt. Ally a man the New Calls was also there, though,
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: and she wasn't having.
• 13:03
  Speaker 8: A transgender and non binary youth already faced staggering rates
• 13:08
  Speaker 8: of anxiety, depression, and bullying, they looked to school leadership
• 13:13
  Speaker 8: for protection, stability, and basic dignity. For a leader to
• 13:17
  Speaker 8: bring targeted hostility into the very room where decisions about
• 13:22
  Speaker 8: their education and well being are made is both irresponsible
• 13:26
  Speaker 8: and cruel.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: This is from a speech Amanda put together during the meeting,
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: having only just seen the T shirt, which features a
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: big logo of xx sex Y Athletics, a transphobic clothing brand.
• 13:38
  Speaker 8: You cannot effectively advocate for the well being of all
• 13:42
  Speaker 8: children while publicly displaying contempt for some of them. It
• 13:47
  Speaker 8: compromises the neutrality of this board, signals a hostile environment
• 13:52
  Speaker 8: to our students, and undermines the trust of this community
• 13:56
  Speaker 8: that has been placed in this office.
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: Remember this is all being said right to be Assotti's face.
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: She's also a member of the Far Eye anti transgender
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: Mom's for Liberty hate group and has previously compared being
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: trans to pedophilia. Anyway, back to Amanda, because she ain't done.
• 14:16
  Speaker 8: I call on this board to condemn hostility toward trans
• 14:20
  Speaker 8: humans and to hold its members to the highest standards
• 14:24
  Speaker 8: of respect and responsibility. Our students and our parents are
• 14:30
  Speaker 8: watching and they deserve so much better than this. Thank you.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: Afterwards, Amanda said it's time to speak out, fight and
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: stand firm to get fire eye elements like Biasotti off
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: the school board. Pride Daily next, three queer street performers
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: have been attacked with fireworks in France. Two dancers and
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: a musician were taking part in Leon's annual Everyone Outside festival,
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: and even from when they were setting up, there was
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: in tim and homophobic insults. Then escalated to the fireworks,
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: leaving one of the group with the ruptured ear drum
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: and destroying its computer. Lots of condemnation, including from the mayor.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: He says They'll always be welcome in Lyon Pride Daily
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: and for the first time a museum in Ireland's got
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: a permanent LGBTQ plus exhibit. It's at Cork Public Museum
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: and tracks the city's queer history with lots of artifacts
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: and personal items like flyers, badges and magazines. They helped
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: tell the story of people and organizations that work to
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: defend the queer community there, especially up to nineteen ninety three,
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: when homosexuality was illegal in Ireland. No time to tell
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: you that music events funded by the state in Uruguay
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: could have to include at least thirty percent gender diverse
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: and female artists. Plans have been passed by the Senate
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: and now need approval from their Chamber of Deputies. And
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: San Francisco Queer Film Festival kicks off today with the
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: Dyke Festival Berlin tomorrow. Both are on till Sunday. There's
• 16:07
