What this episode covers
In today’s episode of Listen Up Girl, we’re breaking down the biggest LGBTQ+ news stories making headlines right now — and trust us, there’s a LOT to unpack. A controversial trans sports ban is now facing legal challenges over thousands of potentially invalid signatures. Meanwhile, Senate Democrats are navigating internal tensions over how strongly to defend trans rights as anti-trans legislation continues to surface in national politics. Plus, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signs a bill targeting Pride celebrations and DEI initiatives, sparking backlash. Internationally, Eurovision is facing a growing boycott, with multiple countries refusing to participate or broadcast the event. And in one of the wildest stories of the week — The Onion may take over Infowars, with plans to turn it into a satirical platform, possibly even centered around trans comedy. We also cover Caitlyn Jenner reflecting on her transition journey, GLAAD pushing back against proposed media restrictions, and a major criminal case out of the UK. 🎧 Stay informed. Stay loud. Stay proud.
