About this episode

The episode discusses various current events related to LGBTQ rights and features an interview with Evanston Mayor Daniel Biss.

In this episode of the Parent Advocate, we catch up on Lizette’s V-Day Wuthering Heights in Spanish, Charlie XCX, Adidas, and deep conversations with the kids. In Today’s Topics we address the removal of the Pride flag from the Stonewall Monument in New York City, the GOP rep from Tennessee seeking an investigation into “gay sex acts” in Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime show, and the European Parliament overwhelmingly passing a non-binding resolution affirming the full recognition of trans women as women. This week we speak to Evanston Mayor, Congressional candidate, and father of two trans and nonbinary kids, Daniel Biss and talk public service, staring down ICE, and finding hope in difficult times. In Allies & Assholes, we celebrate the Blade Angels, the 2026 USA Women’s figure skating trio for standing with the LGBTQ community, and drag USA Hockey for quietly banning trans athletes from participating on teams that align with their gender identities.
