they were gay.the school when it comes to talking about identity and that sort of stuff? if you want to learn about it, you can go to, like, obviously ask questions in wellbeing, and you will get the occasional pse lesson. but other than that, it's, like, everyone�*s kind of chill about it. there's a couple of teachers who are, like, lgbt—trained. sometimes we have, like, meetings and it's, like, "how do we, like, represent lgbt more?" is it stuff you guys talk about or not really something you mention? occasionally. but most of the time, - just kind of, like, it's never happened — like, - i was always just me. it doesn't really come up a lot, honestly. just it's there, and simple. what i ended up with was feeling a bit uneasy about something as i went through my teens because you knew there was this thing you weren't being honest about. it would have been, like, a neater situation, in a lot of ways, if you'd realised, "ok, i'm gay". so, ten years on from the same—sex marriage act coming into effect

mcgreevey was anti-gay marriage. barack obama was anti-gay marriage.en they get married, are performing something before god. savage: 2004, when mcgreevey's moving up, it would have been impossible to support gay marriage. and so i don't hold that against him, necessarily. i am not apologizing. but his desire to be seen as a sympathetic, tragic case, that this at all had been done to him, as opposed to the choices he had made and things he had done to others, maybe i'm just too catholic for that shit. my truth is that i am a gay american, and i blessed to live in the greatest nation... when mcgreevey said, "my truth is that i'm a gay american," and immediately framed everything that would come after the resignation in that line, it set the tone. it was a spectacularly well-conceived pr strategy. reporter: apparently mcgreevey thinks he left office as punishment for his homosexuality. this is nonsense. if anything, his admission of sexual preference won him more support. reporter #2: polls taken after the announcement gives the governor the highest job

gay people, group or gay rights with not a gay gay people, and deliberately excluded?u were talking about, there is the studies that were deemed to be too low quality to include in the final review is that, no, no, i'm looking at the that's a point about the review overall. >> yes. so i'll come on to some specific criticisms. >> did speak to a number of people who've through this people who've been through this this did took this treatment. and she did took a compassionate approach in a very compassionate approach in doing so. >> but i'm looking at >> indeed. but i'm looking at the outcomes of the report and let's move on to the presentation. if we could put the first graph up that i'd supplied. now this is actually a page from the report. and you can see that what you have is an exponential rise. apparently in the number of people being referred to gids at tavistock. the trouble with it is that graph cuts off at 2014. and if we put the next graph up. right here are the true figures and what the figures for the next few years. and what you actually see is that the grap

not actually gay.do, for instance, when russell did it's a sin... i disagreed with that. i think the best thing he can do for that young cast of, the young actor playing who was gay, playing the gay part, the best thing that you can do for him is cast him in a straight role, in a romantic lead in a straight role, and say, "watch how brilliant he is." because what you're doing then is you're enabling that actor to go on and have a diverse career. and what you're doing is you're challenging the preconceived, the subconscious prejudice of the audience. what you don't do is say he's a gay actor, therefore, he can only play gay roles. that's what will happen. and what's the percentage of gay people in the country? what is it, 10%, 15%? so, what? they're going to be eligible for 10% or 15% of the roles? you would never have had ian mckellen, you would never have had anthony sher, you would never have had these actors if you said, "well, they're gay, therefore they can only do that." a final thought for you,

it's the cass review that said gay kids, gay kids are actually being led to on transgender pathways.stand kids , is that all these people kids, is that all these people who criticise, the health care opfions who criticise, the health care options that have been offered in these situations , i don't in these situations, i don't hear any of you saying there should be more therapists. there should be more therapists. there should be more people trained medically in dealing with transgender questions, because the answer is when you have situations where a child has wrongly been put down the path of puberty blockers or of being assumed to be transgender, then thatis assumed to be transgender, then that is because they haven't been assessed sufficiently and that the research isn't good enough. but that does not mean that there are not young people who have that kind of identity issue. they know it fundamentally in themselves, in the way that someone like you can never possibly understand, and that our society and our nhs and that our society and our nhs and our schools should respect and ou

this new law in uganda punishes people just for being gay.ife in prison in some cases. in some cases, it punishes being gay with the death penalty. death penalty is the penalty for homosexuality. the second highest court in uganda just upheld most of that law, including the death penalty part of it. in their ruling, the court in uganda cited dobbs, cited the american supreme court decision that overturned roe v. wade. they cited dobbs as the justification for why the kill the gays bill is legally sound. we didn't just get the overturning of roe v. wade thanks to donald trump. we got the new standard that replaces it, this dobbs standard that is now being cited internationally as evidence that even in america, nobody has a right to bodily autonomy, not to get an abortion, and not to survive your own government if they decide to kill you for being gay. joining us now is melissa murray, law professor at new york university. melissa, thanks very much for being here. it's really nice to see you. >> great to be here. >> i -- despite appearances, do

this bill is part of what could be seen as a growing anti—gay crackdown in africa.nd a wave of what appears to be discrimination against this community on the continent? the majority of what we are seeing now is not how africa has always been towards lgbtq persons. i mean, some people have disagreed. but we never saw criminalisation, we never saw systemic strategies of erasing lgbtq persons. all this is promoted and heavily funded, unfortunately, by american evangelical christian groups that are touring the whole african continent and spreading hatred and fighting the lgbtq community. unfortunately, what is happening in uganda is happening in other countries like ghana and kenya and zambia and malawi, and we are worried that we might actually see similar legislations coming up in these countries. ghana's parliament has already passed a similar legislation. and all this is not africans promoting homophobia, it is the christian american evangelicals. coming in with donations and projects at the same time, promoting hatred towards the lgbtq community. if you don't mind

he let millions of gay men die, blah, blah but it was all a lie. was all a lie. gates. i mean, aids didn't really become an issue the early eighties. and before that it was sort oc hemophiliacs and haitians get aids and was only later in the i'd say 81, 80 to 83 that people came to realize who was really was affecting now the government at the time telling them to you know, telling homosexuals gay men to practice safe sex but they had cure. but by five, he was already talking about it in his state of the union address in 86, he talked to extent of the about the issue and he had the government commit billions of dollars to aids. you know, starting in 85. so the idea that he ignored or somehow wanted to die was is a lie. it's a it's a mean spirited lie. it's not true. and it goes back to his time in california. reagan believed fervently in the rights of the individual, the dignity and privacy of the individual. and there was that can 78. now, this shows his courage because you're getting ready to run for president again. and a lot of conservative, pro-family pro-life for
