- 1:23Speaker 6: What this seems to suggest is that you're required to
- 1:26Speaker 6: exclude trans people even if you don't want to, and

- 1:32Speaker 6: for the sex they might have lived as for decades,

- 3:43Speaker 5: better than given ingrag aated and microphone. Dan the man
- 3:47Speaker 5: there from Stuart Middle school in Kentucky in America. The

- 3:54Speaker 5: parents to cancer. He wanted to talk about grief and
- 3:58Speaker 5: trauma and how it doesn't help to shape you. Would
- 4:01Speaker 5: have touched on the trauma of oppression suffered by young
- 4:04Speaker 5: people because of their identities, but after telling the audience
- 4:09Speaker 5: earlier drafts of his speech were censored for being too negative,
- 4:13Speaker 5: he blom and well went for it.
- 4:15Speaker 4: This school is.
- 4:15Speaker 6: Built on racism, sexism, in homophobia.
- 4:18Speaker 2: I courage everyone here today to stay up yourself.

- 4:44Speaker 5: social isolation, and stigma drive LGBTQ plus youth two E cigarettes.
- 4:49Speaker 5: It covered ten to twenty four year olds who found
- 4:52Speaker 5: vaping was a way to get acceptance and a sense
- 4:55Speaker 5: of belonging, especially when they've been excluded from other social spaces.

- 6:16Speaker 5: Hi there, I'm keV McGrath coming up. Why Canada's quickly
- 6:20Speaker 5: getting Queira though this is awkward. A newly elected fire
- 6:26Speaker 5: right lawmakers used his first parliamentary speech in South Australia
- 6:31Speaker 5: to say this.
- 6:32Speaker 9: I have been openly gay throughout my entire adult life.
- 6:35Speaker 5: Oh. Jason Virgo from the One Nation Party, which is
- 6:39Speaker 5: notorious for being anti LGBTQ plus. He also spoke about
- 6:43Speaker 5: his boyfriend.
- 6:44Speaker 9: Rysun, was born in Indonesia, a Muslim and is now
- 6:48Speaker 9: a proud Australian. Our closest friendship circle was made largely
- 6:52Speaker 9: of immigrants from China, India. In the Philippines, I love migrants.
- 6:57Speaker 9: The overwhelming majority are simply searching for a bit of life.
- 7:01Speaker 5: Oh. One Nation's anti immigrant as well Kel Saprize. It's
- 7:06Speaker 5: led by hate munger Pauline Hanson, who's previously said there
- 7:10Speaker 5: are no good Muslims. Jason wake up pride daily next.
- 7:16Speaker 5: As queer rights in America continue to be trashed by
- 7:19Speaker 5: the lawless radical right government there, Canada's saying come on
- 7:24Speaker 5: in the country that gave us heated rivalries, speeding up
- 7:28Speaker 5: citizenship applications for LGBTQ plus people who don't feel safe
- 7:32Speaker 5: in the US anymore. Most Americans usually have to wait
- 7:36Speaker 5: about a year, but some queer applicants are being processed
- 7:39Speaker 5: and as little as a fortnight Pride Daily and the
- 7:43Speaker 5: Mexican Waves being called into action in the fight against homophobia.
- 7:48Speaker 5: Out of the World Cup next month, Mexico's football federations
- 7:51Speaker 5: launched a campaign against anti gay chanting off the back
- 7:55Speaker 5: of an increase at matches in recent weeks. The idea
- 7:58Speaker 5: behind the wave, yes the chant no is if fans
- 8:02Speaker 5: are doing the Mexican Wave and cheering, then not screaming
- 8:05Speaker 5: homophobic nonsense, and it will drown out any bigots who
- 8:08Speaker 5: didn't get the memo. No time to tell you that
- 8:12Speaker 5: Iceland is the most transgender friendly country in Europe and
- 8:16Speaker 5: Central Asia if you go by the latest trans Writes
- 8:19Speaker 5: index and map is based on the protections and opportunities
- 8:23Speaker 5: of each nation, with Malta and Spain rounding out the
- 8:26Speaker 5: top three Pride Daily. Why I'm keV McGrath coming up
- 8:32Speaker 5: a homophobe counts the cost first, though it's LGBTQ plus
- 8:38Speaker 5: Domestic Violence Awareness Day, some research shows this can be
- 8:42Speaker 5: a bigger issue in queer relationships than straight ones. Hard
- 8:46Speaker 5: to know for definite because it's not always reported. Physical
- 8:50Speaker 5: sexual and also psychological abuse in the mix. Like coercive behavior.
- 8:55Speaker 10: We see unique forms of abuse for members of the
- 8:57Speaker 10: LGBTQ plus community, So being out of it by the
- 9:01Speaker 10: person causing harm, that person saying well, if you leave me,
- 9:04Speaker 10: I'm going to tell this person in your life that
- 9:07Speaker 10: you're LGBTQ plus.
- 9:08Speaker 5: Ash Rathwell from the Domestic Violence Network. She also says
- 9:13Speaker 5: abuse can be weaponizing a partner's identity, and we're.
- 9:16Speaker 10: Looking at the transgender community. That could look like refusing
- 9:20Speaker 10: to use someone's correct pronouns or dead naming them.
- 9:24Speaker 5: Thanks to WRTV Indianapolis, more than sixty percent of LGBTQ
- 9:29Speaker 5: plus people say they've suffered domestic violence. If you go
- 9:32Speaker 5: by a study from Australia's Latrobe University for heterosexuals, the
- 9:37Speaker 5: stat's about twenty percent.
- 9:40Speaker 4: Pride daily to itily.
- 9:42Speaker 5: Nexttan, if you're going to be a dirty, rotten homophobe
- 9:45Speaker 5: on social media, make sure you've got some cash in
- 9:48Speaker 5: the bank. A retired scientist, historian, university professor, author and
- 9:54Speaker 5: woman who definitely knows better has had to cough up
- 9:57Speaker 5: nearly one hundred and thirty three thousand euro heroes and
- 10:00Speaker 5: damages and legal fees off the back of a sustained
- 10:03Speaker 5: campaign of abuse against a gay next door neighbor, Bria
- 10:08Speaker 5: Concetta Nikolai, who's eighty two and dead inside targeted the
- 10:12Speaker 5: man for eight years. This has previously seen a convicted
- 10:16Speaker 5: of defamation, but she just carries.
- 10:18Speaker 4: On pride daily.
- 10:20Speaker 5: In India's National Human Rights Commission wants a rethink over
- 10:24Speaker 5: a new law banning gender self identification. Things changed at
- 10:29Speaker 5: the end of March, with Amnesty International calling it a
- 10:32Speaker 5: massive step backwards. Recommendations from the NHRC call for this
- 10:37Speaker 5: to be revisited, whilst it wants transgender and intersex options
- 10:41Speaker 5: in the country's next census.

- 11:22Speaker 3: you're listening to right now, Pride Daily.
- 11:30Speaker 5: Hi there, I'm keV McGrath coming up. Pride is Saved First, Though,
- 11:37Speaker 5: the dignity of a high achieving trans masculine student in
- 11:41Speaker 5: America in the face of his bigoted school, Mississippi's Diaiberville
- 11:47Speaker 5: High had already face claims it dead name Jonas Hole
- 11:50Speaker 5: in a congratulatory Facebook post for being one of the
- 11:53Speaker 5: year's top achieving graduates. It's also alleged's photo was digitally
- 11:58Speaker 5: altered so he looked more feminine. Just before he made
- 12:02Speaker 5: the opening speech is graduation ceremony, the school's principle dead
- 12:06Speaker 5: named him again, referring to him as an outstanding young lady.
- 12:11Speaker 5: But when they go low, he goes high.
- 12:14Speaker 8: Around high school, I eventually gathered the courage to advocate
- 12:17Speaker 8: self expression for myself and others. Despite my non self acceptance,
- 12:22Speaker 8: others judged you without understanding me. I became my label,
- 12:25Speaker 8: and I felt as if my achievements, hardships, personality all
- 12:29Speaker 8: became irelevant for the soul fact that I present myself differently. However,
- 12:33Speaker 8: I hold no bridge against those who were so quick to.
- 12:35Speaker 5: Criticize him, and Jonas had these words of encouragement for
- 12:38Speaker 5: his fellow graduates.
- 12:40Speaker 8: Express yourself as individuals and resist the temptation to just
- 12:43Speaker 8: be evolve. I hope followed you at some for in
- 12:45Speaker 8: your life feel that same freedom I get to feel.
- 12:47Speaker 8: I live it every day. I apologetically be yourself, and
- 12:51Speaker 8: no matter who try to stop me from doing so.
- 12:53Speaker 3: Thank you.
- 12:56Speaker 5: The alba Vel Highs also believed to have cut Jonas's
- 12:59Speaker 5: phone from the school yearbook, along with those of other
- 13:03Speaker 5: trans students.
- 13:04Speaker 4: Pride Daily next.
- 13:06Speaker 5: A pharmacist in Hollands refusing healthcare to transpeople, Flora's Kreissman
- 13:13Speaker 5: reckons that would go against his Christian beliefs, which are
- 13:16Speaker 5: presumably to discriminate and put the welfare of others at risk.
- 13:21Speaker 5: The website of the pharmacy in Niwerheim says he considers
- 13:25Speaker 5: the Bible to be the infallible word of God and
- 13:29Speaker 5: that must be visible in his work. Must be nice.
- 13:32Speaker 5: To be morally bankrupt means you can just do what
- 13:35Speaker 5: you like.
- 13:36Speaker 4: Pride Daily and a.
- 13:38Speaker 5: Pride event in Durham and the UK has been saved
- 13:42Speaker 5: after hard right politicians tried to sabotage it. The local council,
- 13:47Speaker 5: run by the Reform UK Party, cut its funding because
- 13:51Speaker 5: culture wars, but trade unions organizations that protect workers' rights
- 13:56Speaker 5: have donated fifteen thousand pounds, so the fifteenth and Pride
