About this episode

The episode discusses various topics including gender identity, LGBTQ+ rights, and features an interview with Casey Deck, the Hell Raiser Dad.

In this episode of the Parent Advocate, Lizette Trujillo and Stephen Chukumba chop it up about b’day parties, karaoke, SXSW and Stephen losing his voice. In Today’s Topics, we cover the United Nations rejecting the US’s attempts to redefine gender, the US Senate rejecting Trump’s SAVE Act, and 72% of Americans supporting protections for LGBTQ+ people. We interview the Hell Raiser Dad and "Dadvocate," Casey Deck, and talk testifying at the state capital, standing up for trans kids, and holding space for parents. In Allies & Assholes, we celebrate librarian Luanne James for refusing to uphold book bans, and drag the Portuguese Parliament for advancing three anti-trans bills.
