In this episode of the Parent Advocate podcast, Lizette and Stephen get into Don Lemon being arrested by the feds, Trump deporting LGBTQ+ asylum seekers to countries where they’ll be killed, and GLAAD reporting a nearly 400 % increase in anti-LGBTQ+ attacks during Pride this year. In Allies & Assholes, we celebrate the Boss, Bruce Springsteen for holding a benefit concert for Minneapolis and for releasing a powerful new protest song titled “Streets of Minneapolis.” We drag Tennessee Republican state representative and 2026 gubernatorial candidate, Monty Fritts , for suggesting execution for parents and caregivers of transgender kids and those who care for them.
