ali: the problem is not going anywhere. this year, hundreds more anti-lgbtqeen proposed. 44 so far have passed into law. according to the aclu, they include bathroom bans, health care restrictions, id laws, sports restrictions, curriculum censorship. do you think the pace of the passage and the consideration of these laws is going to be affected one way or the other by whoever wins the presidential election next month? jaymes: i think that there is a chance that whoever wins the presidential election, that we are going to continue to see an increase in the states that we're going to continue to see and maybe perhaps not on the federal level, but in the states. and th's because we have the same politicians who are continuing to be divisive, who are continuing to pass misinformation. so really, the way that we fix that, there's an education gap. people do not understand or know who trans people are, what it means to be non-binary. they don't understand. so what we need to do is to reduce the stigma attached to it. and we need to educate people. if we don't educ

the lgbtq plus report included discussion of the use of w a mo by the lgbtq plus communities. project open house new building on market street is 55 unit building with--the project will double the number of units provided by open house and open to all members of the community. there is still cfl--priorities and updates. there was updates by the members of the council. we met again in september the usual meeting and again, executive dearman gave a thorough department update, rbs which included update on the department annual report. the link to the annual report has been sent to all the advisory council members, and executive director dearman mentioned accessibility was added to diversity equity inclusion goals. she mentioned there would be training given to staff and then question asked whether that is available to the broader group of folks and the council volunteered to be the focus group for that training going forward. basically it was to a bit of selfish-- volunteering on our part so we got the training as well. we were given update on the resource guide as well as informa

it's just a i quoted the trevor project and talk about how libraries are a safe space for kids of the lgbtq. i talked about how people are trying to erase history. i but it was just a speech that every single i know would give the same speech. it wasn't anything risque or i didn't talk about books, but all of a sudden, these minimum, these men that i didn't even know i don't even know these men. i've never interacted with them, don't know why they chose to target me because i wasn't the only one that spoke that night. 20 something 30 people spoke and said the same thing i did but they started they took my picture and they were saying i was advocating for certain acts with children that i giving pornography and erotica to six year olds and that was circulated and you know when you even see your kindergarten the lady who taught you can the guardian write you're a groomer online it takes hit and i kids watch us as educators kids watch us you know and we have to set a good example and i couldn't have responded on social media it would have no good and i wasn't about to get into some kind of arg

little bit about the slew of bills that have been passed in states around the country that target the lgbtq community. damon, can ask about how these bills come some which have become law, intensify polarization, divide our country further? >> well, that's the whole purpose. i hate to even use the phrase culture war because it's a word that feels academic and atmospheric when it's really about the lived experience, how it plans on folks. but these are laws and we often see at the lgbtq+ bills, bathroom bills as they call it. also in schools we are seeing a chilling of curriculum. we are litigating cases and to state right now, oklahoma and arkansas, and arkansas one of our clients, students and teachers at central high school and they're wondering can we teach and learn about the little rock nine and david dukes and civil rights history? and oh, they don't know if they can teach and learn about the tulsa race massacre, which still did open up a new investigation about yesterday, the department of justice. or the trail of tears, what happened to our native people, right? we have partnered in

the annual list celebrates 100 lgbtq plus trailblazers making a difference in their community. now, this year, one of the nominees is right here from the bay area. abc seven news anchor and race and social justice reporter julian glover nominated nico alexander for the honor and shares why he is so deserving. >> lush greenery stretches for as far as the eye can see in the cazadero region, known as the hidden gem of sonoma county. if cazadero is the gem, then the shelter would collective is among its crown jewels. >> shelterwood is an attempt at world building that features queerness, land, stewardship, joy, and an exploration in what could be. >> nicholas alexander is the co-founder of shelterwood collective. the 900 acre plot that centers on reconnecting black and indigenous lgbtq plus people with land and the techniques used to preserve it. >> we're based on unceded territory of the kashia band of pomo indians. there's no other way that we can move forward as a society without addressing the historical harms done to our people, to our communities, and without addressing the ha

it's huge and it's, stepping in as a woman of color as part of the lgbtq community, means more than justyself, right. i represent more than just myself. but as a leader, other people in this department, other people in the community that are looking at me and seeing that there is space for them. and so that is really creating space for everyone. >> when i first joined the military, it was still under don't ask don't tell. i had to be super cautious about what i was doing. i was still figuring out what i was doing. i joined when i was 19, i knew i was part of the community i was not accepting yet. my first duty station was officer guam and that's where i got to explore who i was. and being under the umbrella of don't ask don't tell, and having a friend being separated because he was gay. it was very rule. had you to make sure that you were following the rules you needed to do everything you need today do. i was fortunate to be there when don't ask don't tell was repealed. you find people who are making a big deal about it, the next day everybody went to work like nothing happened. we were

respectful of other means of view, there are those who will never get a lot anti- women to look at the lgbtq, anti- anything that's not who they are, so put that over there. then you have very rich in america, there are not that many electorally but there are plenty in the campaign and they don't want to pay tax. many don't pay their fair share and it's a motivation for the cost of doing business and it is a factor but in between their people, this is where we find common ground, they have legitimate concerns about innovation, globalization and some of them even immigration which is the lowest threat to the job security they don't always see it that way. my father was a truck driver but you all know given the globalization with a fauci down the road now in another country so the impact of globalization, it's fertile territory for the message. what joe biden has done, sometimes bipartisan slightly but nonetheless, to address the concerns and have a rescue package and infrastructure to have act to make us self related and extended education too many into the pact act for men and women in unifo

what she's been saying, as hallie said, how she sees and worked with trans people and people in the lgbtqades and also there's a concern within the campaign about how those middle of the road voters, people who maybe don't hate or dislike trans people, but maybe haven't met any, don't understand it, aren't educated on the actual facts of trans, nonbinary people in this country, not to turn them off as we get closer. there are people in the lgbtq+ community who are frustrated by that, who want to hear more from vice president harris who they have seen as an ally for a really long time, for good reason. you remember when her marrying the first gay couple to get married when she was in california. that happened. that was something she did. so they have concerns. i don't know that it's enough to turn people off from voting. as the governor was saying, so much of this is happening on the margins. every single vote, every single person who could vote, every low propensity voter is someone they should be focussed on. there's a risk here for people feeling like there isn't clarity to this answer.

the secular. sort for lgbtq people, for liberal women and i at this point donald trump isn't even talking about economics it's all of it's all this grievance tour and a resent tour and yet there are still people who insist that there's a very powerful class dynamic at work. one of the ways that i address in the book is to do a big push back against the asinine david brooks stuff notion of working class. i know david brooks is someone you deeply admire. doug. i should say, since we're on the record, doug does not admire david brooks, but but david brooks is one of those most responsible for defining working as someone without a college. so other words, an elementary school making $33,000 a year is not part of the working class. but a construction crew foreman. making $85,000 a year is part of the working. so that's most of trump's support that people define as working class people make in the trades earning a good living and motivated by fear and has to still ity towards immigrants, towards single women, toward l

my involvement in the theater raised awareness to not only the castro theater to be emblematic of the lgbtq culture and history but also there are many other sites in the city that also contribute to the identity. that is why so many people come to san francisco as a place of freedom and diversity so in my previous work i worked at the world heritage center, so when i joined san francisco heritage i was thinking why isn't san francisco a world heritage city? for the architecture alone it could be inscribed. golden gate bridge to name a few but the city is so unique in the architecture, the mansioned and historic landmarks so hoping to start a conversation on that with city stakeholders this year. >> that is great. let's talk about your relationship with other agencies. you mentioned economic and office of work force development and planning commission. how do you unt integrate to them? >> these relationships are essential. we are working with office of small business for the legacy business program and the planning department is really one of our most crucial relationships. we meet quarterl

it means if you are not married, if you are a member of the lgbtq community, cannot get married, you cannot access any kind of sexual reproductive rights. the average rates right now is roughly around 17 and the average age of marriage is 27. so you have a 10 year gap. when they can even access. you have examples of laws that are having the opposite of their intended effect or opposite of actually protecting women and girls. one of the things that we see is this real need for women to have a seat at the table to articulate and say this is happening. raising that awareness. our bodies have been the battleground for far too long. and then for women to be able to say this is what we need to do to change and strengthen the laws. starting to lobby for funding in that area. why is it that we still don't have -- i mean, i've been at this for 25 years and we still don't have a. a lot of that is who are the voices at the table. who are the voices at the table. where the battles being fought. who are the warriors that we need to actually speak bacchants fight these battles. where do you take t

that he was really able to accomplish his dreams and now he's providing a safe space for others in the lgbtqhan just a haircut. it's a healing experience provoiding clients with the fresh new look while offering the care and attention that can mend a weary spirit. >> even if i was trying to accept myself, there was a risk being typical when the other people in the society did not accept you who you are. >> reporter: after arriving to the u.s., the idea of healing cuts took shape. it was in san francisco that he discovered himself and gained confidence to pursue his dreams. >> what is it is that i wanted to be? i asked myself the question. and more than anything, it was -- the question became because i wanted to be happy. >> reporter: this vision blossomed into a salon where he could help others look and feel good. for so many immigrants he says that hasn't been the case. the trip north often ends with jobs most don't want to do and simply work to help pay the bills. through the barbershop, and its recent expansion of personal care services at neighboring taboo salon, he helped hire others al

because it's not just the african-american community because you can have in the larger culture, white folks, you know, denigrate lgbtq community. but as a child growing up because of how people and especially evangelicals, which is why i wrote the book, how they take scripture and the bible out of context and the interpret that scripture in ways that they want to, they use the same scripture to subjugate women. they use the same scripture to enslaved people of color. and so then they use the same scripture to denigrate the lgbtq community, to denigrate gay people and so growing up, it was tuft. so i thought having a belief in god especially when i was going to be born again right from being baptized, that i could pray it away. it was magical thinking. >> then the older you get and you start to think critically and you start to realize around the time santa claus and the whole realization, i won't say here, because people may be watching. >> then you realize that that's actually not what faith in god. >> you have such a strong faith. i do is a big reason why you wrote this book. >> it is, and i don't wear it on my sle

. >> there's so much negativity against trans folks and the lgbtq community. i think there's 500 pieces of legislation against us all over the country. >> trans activists and supporters say the match forfeits amount to an attack on equal rights. >> title nine is a protection of women and trans women are part of that protection. >> fleming's fellow teammate and team captain, brooke slusser, joined a lawsuit against the ncaa over its title nine inclusion of trans athletes in college sports. >> she had no idea initially that blair was a biological male transgender woman when she initially joined the team. in fact, brooke was asked to room with blair. >> san jose state declined an on camera interview request, instead emailing a statement that reads in part, it is disappointing that our su student athletes are being denied opportunities to compete. we are committed to supporting our student athletes through these challenges. we reached out to both fleming and slusser but have not heard back. the spartans have a match scheduled for thursday evening at colorado state.

the legislation also includes the lgbtq plus community and unpartnered individuals. this comes just a couple weeks after legislation to establish a nationwide right to ivf failed to advance in the u.s. senate for a second time. but not all support the legislation. the california association of health plans is opposed to the bill. in a statement, the association said in part, the coverage requirement is expected to raise health care costs by 182 million in the first year and increase to 329.9 million in year two. during a committee hearing, the california chamber of commerce also expressing opposition, saying it will increase premiums on employers. >> that was alicia machado reporting for us. and now to get more insight into the practical consequences of this new law, the bill's coauthor, state assembly member buffy wicks of oakland. assembly member wicks, thank you for joining us today. >> thank you so much for having me. >> so can you tell us first how many californians suffer from infertility and what are the costs for ivf and other typical infertility treatments? >

they are not so far removed from the lgbtq rhetoric in schools that donald trump espouse. and now removed from the fact, if they get pregnant and they don't want to be pregnant or have a bad pregnancy, they may die. they understand that. because that affects them directly. and so for that reason, i don't know that young people need to be motivated as much as they are running in early voting specially to come out and vote. and you see that from all of the numbers. >> and we'll be learning more about the early voting numbers. thank you for joining us. and this sunday vice president harris sits down with reverend al sharpton in atlanta for a exclusive interview with early voting in georgia underway. they're discuss the importance of reaching black voters and what is at stake in this election. watch "politics nation" sunday at 5:00 p.m. eastern. >>> in 90 seconds. stunning new footage showing the leader of hamas throwing debris at a drone just moments before he is killed. more on that and what ma'amas is now saying after his death, next. what will you do when the power goes out
