GAYBC Happy Hour | Week of July 16, 2023

Charlie Kirk is the co-founder of an anti-LGBTQ+ young conservative cult Turning Point USA is crowing about a perceived left-wing attack on muscular men. He says, "nobody who has gotten strong in the gym believes in the lies of liberalism." On this episode of the GAYBC Happy Hour, Richie Roy and Johnny Mac school this likely latent homosexual. There is something fishy going on with federal funding and the operation of the new 988 mental health telephone services for LGBTQ+ youth. The Trevor Project suddenly cut 50% of its staffing and blamed in on a constriction of resources. But, that's not adding up with the audits.And, just how protected from workplace discrimination are the thousands of men and women serving as openly LGBTQ+ in the United States Armed Forces? With recent rights repeals by the Supreme Court and the movement by crazy MAGA kooks in Congress, the issue may not yet be resolved. We talk with special guests James Apedaile, VP of American Veterans for Equal Rights and retired Army Col. Grethe Cammermeyer, Ph.D about where things stand and what can be done to shore up protections for those who serve honorably and truthfully from the LGBTQ+ community.
