2022-04-06 Human Rights are Trans Rights

Jonny checks in on the ever-escalating kerfuffle in Florida as the state government doubles down on its war with Disney, as law suits against HB 1557 are filed, and as teachers begin to push back in creative ways. He then recaps the weekend's Trans Day of Visibility, noting the increased importance of trans affirming demonstrations in Texas and how meaningful they were in Carbondale and Southern Illinois. In the back half of the show, he links several stories from the UK where attempts to pare off the T from LGBT aren't working out so well. Included: PM Boris Johnson's flip flopping on banning conversion therapy, the demise of the Gender Critical Lesbian and Gay News site, the petulant impotence of the LGB Coalition, and flailing preparations for the Johnson administration's planned summer summit on LGBT Rights.
