U.S. State Strategy Lessons by This Way Out Radio

The 2014-2016 cycle of U.S. state anti-LGBTQ legislation was not unlike the current one — and we could learn a thing or two from what happened then in Arizona, Indiana, North Carolina, and Mississippi (archival reporting includes Govs. Jan Brewer (AZ), Mike Pence (IN), Pat McCrory (NC) and Phil Bryant (MS), homophobes Bryan Fischer and Rush Limbaugh, allies Rev. Al Sharpton and Charles Barkley, and commentators Trevor Noah and Rachel Maddow).

And in NewsWrap: Istanbul protesters are arrested supporting students busted for rainbow flags, Poland proposes a sexist and anti-queer family rights treaty, Cameroon trans women are jailed for “attempted homosexuality,” Georgia okays the nation’s first gender identity change, Japan is pressed on pre-Olympics LGBTQ protections, a new U.K. 50-pound note honors persecuted gay World War 2 codebreaking hero Alan Turing, and more international LGBTQ news reported this week by Michael LeBeau and Christopher Gaal (produced by Brian DeShazor).

All this and more on the April 5, 2021 edition of This Way Out!
