Good morning and welcome back to another episode of the Queer LBC Podcast. I'm your host, Nino, with my fabulous co-hosts Christoph and Dr. Mikey. Today, we delve into some thought-provoking and potentially disturbing topics, so listener discretion is advised.

In our segment, "Today in Gay," we discuss a recent study revealing that same-sex sexual behavior among animals is widespread but often underreported. We also celebrate the renaming of a Baltimore street in honor of Black trans icon Aya Damon's and the California legislature's ban on schools notifying parents of gender change requests.

We then shift to "Today in Transphobia," where we examine the controversy surrounding the White House's statement on transgender minors' healthcare. In "Today in Non-Binary," we highlight trans non-binary runner Nikki Hiltz's dedication of their record-breaking Olympic qualifier to the LGBTQ+ community.

In "Today in What the Fuck," we discuss Louisiana's new law requiring schools to display the Ten Commandments in classrooms, sparking debates on the separation of church and state.

Our main focus today is Project 2025, a proposed Republican initiative that could significantly impact LGBTQ+ rights. We explore its implications, including the elimination of federal protections, criminalization of transgender individuals, and restrictions on gender-affirming care. Join us as we unpack the potential consequences and what it means for our community.
