Gaywaves

This content is broadcast on WRUW 91.1 FM, at wruw.org, and contains reports on the Human Rights Campaign strategy to remove 8 anti-transgender members of congress.

This episode also features guest Lis Regula, organizer of the campaign to make two amendments to Ohio's Constitution.  The first is a same-sex marriage amendment to protect Ohioans in the event of the U.S. Supreme Court limiting marriage rights.  The second is an equal rights measure to ensure equality in employment, housing and public accomodations for LGBTQ+ and other people typically disenfranchised.

Lis updates listeners as to how the effort is going, how people can get involved and where petitions can be signed.

Lis and the host also discuss the Trump administration's inclusion of transgender people and advocates as threats in the annual counterterrorism strategy.
