Gaywaves is the longest continuously aired LGBTQ public affairs radio program in Ohio and probably beyond, having originally aired as Radio Lambda in the 1970s. The show's expanded format and pre-recorded interviews have given the opportunity to share parts of the show beyond NE Ohio. This podcast is the best of the recorded interviews with LGBTQ news makers and opinion shapers from all over the country. The interviewer is Eric Resnick, a premiere LGBT newspaper journalist formally with the now defunct Gay People's Chronicle. The podcast features newsworthy interviews with national LGBT political figures, activists, and community leaders.

Our guest this segment is Noah Ruiz from Oxford, Ohio. Noah is a 20 year old transgender man.
On July 3 while at a campground with his family and girlfriend, Noah was assaulted and beaten up in the restroom because the rules he was following placed him in the wrong bathroom.
Preble County Sheriff deputies arrived on the scene, but instead of arresting the assailants, they arrested Noah, who spent the night in the county jail and has been charged with crimes.
This event highlights the danger transgender people face doing things like using restrooms, which cisgender people take for granted.
This drama is unfolding in SW Ohio and this Gaywaves interview is the most complete account of it as experienced by Noah.
