for lgbt plus people. cann love who i want, you love who want, and my brother can be himself without the asld of criminal prosecution our ancestors set 50 years ago. he can be happy with who ever he wants to be under the protection of the law. the act remains important in the world where many seek our differences to decide us. ouras the first at taken by united kingdom to accepting the lgbt community. the differences in our society it rather than shunning them. of wednesday, the first minister of scotland apologize for the homophobic laws. the criminal records of those homosexualsor being are held as being right. , i am proud tot live in such an inclusive society. thank you.

the last homeless count had lgbt youth at 49% of the youth who are on the streets. the broader homeless population, 20% are lgbt, so we continue to see kind of a lack of balance around the funding that are going to these services and the amount of lgbt folks that are able to access these -- these shelters and housing resources. so i definitely feel like there's a lot of ask from the community partners and working with your office to continue to make sure that we're advocating across city departments to mistake sure that those needs are in the fold. >> supervisor sheehy: thank you, yeah, because i do think we have to acknowledge that economic disparities are a form of violence itself. >> and i think my work around economic development and workforce development, it's been more focused, and so now broadening that, i really feel i can use those learnings across the public sector and across the city as well. >> supervisor sheehy: thank you. >> thank you. >> supervisor sheehy: so next, we will hear from sergeant mcdonald from the san francisco police department. >> good m

your a to z covering the lgbt, lmnop and everyone in between. (upbeat music) here's michelle meow. - welcome to the michelle meow show. your a through z covering the lgbt, lmnop and everyone in between show. tonight we have an interview with writer evelina galang on her new book, lola: filipino women living with war. the book focuses on 16 women who share their stories about becoming sex slaves during world war ii. we'll also profile mia satya from the lgbt center here in san francisco. before we get started with the show let's share some quotes. our first quote comes from bobby eardley on losing his partner during the las vegas shooting.

so this is just a hate crime, but also how many lgbt folks are victims of violence, and those type of things, i think, are really important. and then, we should also get data from the office of citizen complaints to find out what kind of complaints are we also hearing about the police force, too, just in the light of trying to protect this community at this critical time, especially when we know nationwide that deaths of transgender folks have been increasing, the incidents of antilgbt organizations getting boulder and stronger. all of these things feed in a culture that is anti what san francisco desires, and what the lgbt community of san francisco deserves. it's not fair to put it on you, but i guess it's sort of to the messenger, but i think that a deeper comprehensive look with the police department. we are not going to actually get a handle on this until we actually work collaboratively with the police department because i actually feel like we really depend on your services, actually, to help keep this population safe, too. and are we all working together at the same goal? i th

mississippi, you have the state sanctioning anti-lgbt views. you have someone on the court who is opposed to lgbt quality --equality under the law. -- he ist is horrifying. he is the public face of vote suppression. but cal duncan is the face of these other forces we have been fighting in the trump era. >> let's talk about their centra l role in evaluating federal judicial nominees. over 1700evaluated nominees. it is rare when they decide someone is unanimously unqualified to be a judge. there is a panel of 15 people who thoroughly evaluating this nominee. they do really exhaustive work. one year in, trump has a total of four judicial nominees rated unqualified. one who got the rating was e.ephen crabb >> he was rated unqualified unanimously for bias. it is a temperament. i have not seen that. aually the ada rating is minimal qualification. it does not look at your ideology or your adherence to presidents. this is a writer and unusual rating. they interviewed people locally here in the reputation of the nominee. reluctant toe are say these kind

another topic is lgbt programs in russia and radical groups against lgbt like this story. years i've worked in stories about russian hackers , russian hacking activities against russia, all of this stuff. about how article russian security services recruit guys from around the country for the russian cyber army. now in the canon institute i'm working on a book about the history of russian hackers from the soviet days to our days. today i will tell you some stories about that. i did not want to talk a lot about russian hacking in the american election because you read a lot about this. want to talk about russian hackers and their connections to the government. elsewhere -- sometimes a big story is leaked. employee of the company that provide services to protect against attacks. in august of 2015, she left russia. we met in after this and she showed me documents that told a dramatic and dangerous story about russian cyber weapons. sheebruary of 2015, accompanied an executive in military contracting. -- the film in demonstrating -- ukrainian minister of defense and slandered

that is why it is called when we rise, not when lgbt rises. women's movement, and something called peace movement from the 70s which we seem to have forgotten about. i was writing this as a warning to get back to coalitions so we would not be defeated and the pendulum of progress would keep going forward. instead, we were divided and we were conquered. and now it is a warning. and so i am doing projects which show a path forward. it is not unique to be in this position where the pendulum is so far back. it is part of a process, and there is a way forward. a final point, you have talked a lot about what drives your filmmaking and activism. you also said earlier in this interview, you cannot deny your mormon roots and you want a big family. you are married, happily married. yes. children is definitely something you want to embrace. absolutely. yeah. i am wondering how would you fit all of this in. the wonderful thing about writing in particular is that production is difficult, but with writing, you are also looking for distraction, and children

cases that concern immigrants' rights, lgbt issues, reproductive rights. really the business that goes before courts demands that we have judges that bring with them a diversity of perspectives so it's truly a travesty what we're seeing from this president. >> so i would add that the senate judiciary committee did a hearing a couple years ago talking about the influence, even if there's just one -- how one woman on a three-judge panel how the males judges vote and rule on those panels. it was this really impressive statistical study about the influence of just adding that one element of diversity on a panel and so as an example, how we can move the needle in terms of the outcomes you get and how they -- >> how did it affect them? >> it dramatically affected not just -- it wasn't just a study about how the female judges ruled, but it was a study to show their influence on panels. and so i'm sure acs can dig up that stat and put it up on their website, but it was in a senate judiciary committee hearing about five years ago and it was one of those moments whe

i'm not willing to choose the lgbt over the african community over the asian community. so i'm going to do what i always do when i don't know the answer to an important question. i'm going to listen to the people. in this instance, listening means letting the people vote. and i believe that the power and the resources of the mayor's office will give an insurmountable advantage to any candidate who is running. and that would be unethical silencing of the voters of san francisco. so today i will be voting and i want you know to know why i will be voting for any caretaker who is not running for office, who can get six votes from this board of supervisor and who will keep our city running and safe for the next five months and this time we'll get a true caretaker mayor. the reason we use this term, the last time we appointed ed lee and he was supposed to just fill in and then he ran for mayor. this time, if we can come to six votes and appoint someone today, this person can't run. >> thank you your time is up and under the board rules only 10 minutes to speak. seeing no other

ifi lgbt community put the name of the arena in question. if i was playing, i would not play on it. when she calls about day she talks about children of transgender is being from the devil that puts me over the edge because we are all god ‘s children. over the edge because we are all god 's children. and while the tournament director says her views do not echo the organisational sport, he said there are no immediate plans to change the name. there is more than one stakeholder that there is ongoing conversation but is there a formal process? no. king is attending the tournament of the first time in eight years, marking the 50th anniversary of her title in melbourne that while the americans said she wouldn't promote a boycott of the stadium, she encouraged players to look inside their heart before making a decision. they have to decide. they can discuss it. everyone is entitled to their opinion. margaret is married to ship —— very much entitled to their opinion. i would be very welcoming to margaret. she would say i would be welcomed. she believes in conversion. she thinks i can go ba

most unfortunately of our lgbt history now resides only in the confinement of archival repositories, documentaries, books and ever decline number of lgbt elders -- hello -- who have lived that history and are that history. little structural evidence of an lgbtq presence remains in san francisco. and even in the castro. we are continuely being asked how to landmark what was once and now is no more. what we do have at 150 eureka street is the brick and mortar miracle on the eureka street sidewalk, embedded in the firm base of our nscc stories to spill down to a few words or phrase, words that have cig dmans our lives, deeply rooted memories of time, place, being a justice seeking church, being the church with aids, the church with lives. and all this we had to the memory of our family, friends, creation of stories of life-changing event and our celebrations. the bricks in this sidewalk are living stories of our lgbtq heritage at 150 eureka and we want to continue to hold close to us. mitt investigation within the e.i.r. should include having our narrative and journey stories continue t

as part of lgbt 50, radio 2 to brought the i feel love concert to town.tive and i feel i kind of stand on the shoulders of great people who have done — you know, like, marc almond's here. i mean, that'sjust like, he's an amazing artist an amazing advocate for lgbt people. alison moyer, amazing. so it's just why would i not say no to be in the company of those people? hello from hull, the 2017 city of culture. hull took over the airwaves again in september with contains strong language, a festival celebrating poetry and spoken word. what is exciting is to see the hull acts and the hull language taking its place on this global stage. here, domes and statues. spires and cranes cluster. you mentioned before about philip larkin and andrew marvell. yeah. reading both of them today, who is hull's best? 0h. do you know, i never compare — i never compare lovers, i never compare poets. i mean, i never compare music. it'sjust different. i'm glad we don't have oscars for poets — i mean, it's ridiculous enough for actors. then there was the weird and wonderful — bill

it's a signaling that bias against lgbt litigants doesn't really bother anybody that much. that's why we have double down on our work. many communities rely on the courts, the lgbt walked towards greater equality has been very much informed by the opportunity to make her case in court and not with the shucks we didn't know, but having that information laid out in the to be confirmed is a very revealing development. >> it's important to remember the american bar association is one that is been around forever. virtually every lawyer belongs. it is a nonpartisan organization. the ratings they have been producing judges have relied on for decades, since eisenhower. george w. bush was an exception to that. so we have an administration changing rules and standards to put forth these dangerous nominees. it's shameful this administration announced it would not take into consideration the ratings that have been provided but i also want to lift up the numbers. between 89 and 2006 they rated more than 1800 nominees. only two found not qualified. and under this administration we've see

lgbt people of color? second, we know that in medical schools around the country about 4% of the curriculum is spent on cultural competency training including psychologists and psychiatrists. what is the federal government going to address increasing cultural competency training in medical institutions? the third question, which is kind of a holdover from the previous panel, what can the federal government do to ensure that police departments around the country are culturally sensitized to the cause for mental health crisis especially when it affects people of color? >> the issue of sensitivity it cultural differences is one that is important. at my agency we have the office of behavioral health equity. that office works across agencies to try to better make sure that individuals and organizations have access to the kinds of tools that are needed to instill cultural competency. >> the issue of sensitivity it that is an ongoing role at our agency. as far as care and treatment of people of color with mental

that from the soma lgbt leather community be on there. and so we have real representization. the full cost of impact needs to be covered. thank you. >> good afternoon. thank you, supervisor kim for having this hearing today. we've been very active about the street improvements. yesterday we had a meeting about pedestrian safety, open space and community planning. it's an initiative from robert wood johnson that has diverse partners to build healthier communities where children and their families can thrive. there are six communities participating in this. in this initiative, when children are the focus, everyone benefits. for example, when the seatbelt laws originally adopted to protect young children have saved an estimated 3,017 lives since 1975. so when we heard from attendees, they would like to see more sidewalk programs and to have signs lit, crosswalks for children and their family. and to organizations that can provide culturally competent outreach and education. for example, through the folsom and howard, there was no english -- or no spanish surveys, and so we want

like you said, i'm a member of the lgbt ac and disability rights advocate. i would like to bring to the attention of the commissioners and people here on data and equity one of the important parts that has been very much not mentioned during the meeting today that affects lgbt. and specifically when it comes to autism-spectrum disorders, which according to scientific studies affect 10% of homeless people and 10% to 20% of transgender people compared to 1% of the general population, so you can see why in san francisco, there would be disproportionately high number of people affected by this. and one of the things that this condition entails is a certain life expectancy and drastic life outcomes, between 12 and 30 fewer years than the general population and it has to do with the way that society treats people and there's a high level of discrimination in society, sadly even in places like san francisco that otherwise has a progressive record. i would like to bring this to the attention of everybody today. you cannot address a problem if you don't know what the
