lgbtq+ rights

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, the Left circles the wagons to defend poor 100 billion-dollar Disney from the mean conservatives criticizing it. Also, the governor of Texas ships illegal immigrants to DC. And Kim Kardashian runs to the defense of a woman who beat her two year old daughter to death. Another example of twisted left-wing “compassion” looks like. Plus, a pastor at a church in Iowa offers a prayer to the “God of pronouns.”

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, New York City attempts to lure all of the groomers who are upset about Florida’s anti-grooming law. Meanwhile, the sexual indoctrinators in the public school system continue to out themselves in droves. Also, DC authorities continue to refuse to investigate the murder of five fully developed infants in the city. And you heard about Corn Pop, now Biden has a story to share about Big Mama. Plus, Oreos go woke. In our Daily Cancellation, Madonna has apparently turned into a lizard. But it’s better than looking old, she thinks.

Over the past decades, the focus of LGBTQ activism has shifted and evolved, from the AIDS crisis in the 1980s to the fight for marriage equality to the focus on transgender rights today. Peter Hegarty, PhD, author of the book “A Recent History of Lesbian and Gay Psychology: From Homophobia to LGBT,” discusses how psychological research has reflected and responded to these changes, how it has helped move the needle in the fight for LGBTQ rights in the U.S. court system, and his own research on “auditory gaydar” and continuing discrimination against LGBTQ people.

For generations, it was difficult, even dangerous, to express a sexual orientation other than heterosexuality in the United States. But in recent years, much has changed. This week, we revisit our 2019 episode about one of the most striking transformations of public attitude ever recorded. And we consider whether the strategies used by the LGBTQ community hold lessons for other groups seeking change.

The Twinkie Defense has become a shorthand for disingenuous legal defense strategies. But was it disingenuous? (Yes, but not in the way you think!)

Human Rights Campaign president Alphonso David reacts to the Supreme Court's landmark ruling that protects LGBTQ+ workers and reflects on the work that lies ahead.

The Supreme Court ruled on Monday that a landmark civil rights law protects gay and transgender workers from workplace discrimination. We examine the three words the case hung on; what the written opinions had to say about bathrooms, locker rooms, sports, pronouns and religious objections to same-sex marriage; and the implications for the ruling. Guest: Adam Liptak, who covers the Supreme Court for The Times and Aimee Stephens, the lead plaintiff in a transgender discrimination case heard by the Supreme Court. Ms. Stephens died in May; she was 59. For more information on today’s episode, visit nytimes.com/thedaily

Background reading:

• Ms. Stephens was fired after she announced that she would live as a woman. She did not live to see the Supreme Court rule in her favor.
• Until Monday’s decision, it was legal in more than half of the states to fire workers for being gay, bisexual or transgender.
• The justices are confronting an unusually potent mix of political and social issues in the middle of both a presidential election year and a public health crisis. Here’s an overview of the major cases this year to get you up to speed.

How many genders are there? How do you know if you’re queer? Is sexual orientation biological, and if so, how? The amazing Michigan State University neuroscientist and endocrinology researcher Dr. Daniel Pfau joins to share their path in academia finding the perfect research, understanding their own genderqueer identity, what animals in nature exhibit queer behavior, how hormones influence the brain, how important it was for them to find community and why the gender binary isn’t a good fit for a lot of people. They are just charming and kind and wonderful and this episode will help you understand just how many ways there are to be human. Also: smitten meadow mice, Gender Unicorns and Alie as a lion. Happy Pride, y’all.

The democrats have once again proved that they are a radical anti-science cult with the passage of a bill that would, among other things, force women’s sports teams to allow men. Also, Mayor Pete is supposed to be a moderate Democrat, so why is he advocating for abortion in the third trimester? Date: 05-20-19
