Ep. 314: Elliot Page Silences Haters, NH Bathroom Bill Vetoed Again & Gay Bar Shooting | Listen Up Girl

Listen Up Girl — your daily LGBTQ+ news podcast, hosted by Zach Randles-Friedman. Today on Listen Up Girl: Trans actor Elliot Page is receiving some of the strongest reviews of his career for his role in Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey — and months of right-wing backlash have been thoroughly embarrassed by the film's reception. New Hampshire Republican Governor Kelly Ayotte has vetoed a trans bathroom bill for the fourth time, telling lawmakers that sending the same bill repeatedly won't change her answer. A gunman opened fire outside gay bar Shakey's in Asheville, North Carolina — staff locked down the venue and kept every single person inside safe. Out lesbian Congresswoman Becca Balint called out the administration for what she described as "weird, intense, homoerotic feelings towards men while also being incredibly homophobic." A trans person was killed and another injured in a shooting in Pakistan. And an educator has been awarded $265,000 after his school district fired him for being gay. Six stories. All new. All yours. 🎙️ New episodes every day 📍 Find us wherever you listen to podcasts 📲 Instagram: @TheRealZachRE 🌐 listenupgirl.com Hosted by Zach Randles-Friedman https://www.listenupgirl.com/ Follow me at https://www.instagram.com/therealzachre/ Podcast music: https://dillonderosa.com/ Thank you Dillion!!!
