Texas Drag Ban, Love Wins (Again) & Canada’s Pride Budget

This week on HOT AIR, we’re diving into the whirlwind of LGBTQ+ news that’s shaping 2025. Canada announces $7.5 million in new federal funding to support Pride festivals as threats continue to rise. The U.S. Supreme Court officially denies Kim Davis’ request to revisit marriage equality, shutting down her years-long crusade against queer joy. And Nevada becomes the first state in the nation to protect same-sex marriage directly in its constitution — a massive milestone worth celebrating.But it’s not all confetti and happy tears. We also get real about the frustration many queer people feel about still having to fight for basic equality in 2025 — even as progress is being made.Plus, with Transgender Awareness Week happening November 13–19, we share an update about next week’s episode, which will be fully dedicated to honoring and uplifting the trans community.Watch the full episode on YouTube HERE!🔥 Subscribe to HOT AIR now—new episodes drop every Tuesday & Friday with unfiltered convos, chaotic stories, and all the queer tea you can handle.🎧 Don’t miss a moment: Follow on Instagram & TikTok @_hotairpod for behind-the-scenes, memes, and bonus content!Visit: HotAirWithJoshuaRobert.com to submit listener stories, topic suggestions and shop merch!
