Get ready for a spicy edition of Richie & John, where
we're diving deep into the headlines that matter most to the LGBTQ+ community!
This week, we're outraged at Meta's removal of tampons from men's restrooms,
allegedly part of Zuck's dubious new anti-LGBTQ+ playbook. Also on our radar: the
Vatican's latest twist in their guidelines for gay priests, with a generous
sprinkle of celibacy—a recipe for real talk you won't want to miss. The
wicked witch of the Florida Orange growers from the 1970’s has kicked the
bucket. Anita Bryant, the beauty pageant bigot turned anti-LGBTQ
rights crusader in the last quarter of the 20th Century is remembered
with her ‘pie in the face’ moment while visiting the Upper Midwest years
ago. She died in Oklahoma last month in her early 80’s. Who didn’t already
think she was dead? And in brighter news, the Human Rights Campaign says
Corporate America might just be stepping up for LGBTQ+ inclusivity—go, CEI
(Corporate Equality Index)! We'll also discuss the rollercoaster journey of
a trans TikToker in Florida facing down their state's oppressive ID policies.
Finally, we're celebrating as Dr. Elizabeth Steiner makes history as
Oregon’s first LGBTQ+ treasurer! Join us as we blend celebration with some
no-holds-barred commentary. Plus, find out what we have planned for January
20th as America gets ready for its wildcard inauguration day with the
return to Washington of the Dynamic Dunces: The Rapist Racist Misogynist; and,
junior perv: The Couch Humper!

Our Commitment to news
Over the past two decades, mainstream media has begun telling our stories and talking about what really matters to LGBTQ+ people in North America and around the world. However, the resources reporting from within our community has dwindled with fewer people from within to make sure information is correct or properly reflecting the perspective of the LGBTQ+ Community.
Richie & John are working with reliable journalists and sources that have been doing an excellent job over the years to keep the news REAL, and not fall into the cycle of fake news reporting.
You will always have the opportunity to take what you get from our reporting and know that we're not pulling the wool over your eyes!
