🚨 Trump vs Pride: Why the Politics of Hate Is Escalating | Karel Cast Ep. 25-75 🌈
IIn this powerful episode of the Karel Cast, we break down the GOP’s growing war on LGBTQ rights and visibility. Trump’s administration just erased Harvey Milk’s name from a Navy ship — during Pride Month — and declared June as “Title IX Month” instead, twisting the law to target trans rights.
This isn’t new — the GOP has a long, shameful history of anti-LGBTQ rhetoric. But we won’t be erased. They can cancel a month, but they can’t cancel Pride — because Pride is protest, resilience, and love.
Also in this episode:
🐾 New science proves pets improve mental health — so why is pet ownership still restricted in so many places?
💊 A new pill could extend your large dog’s life — would you use it?
