GAYBC Happy Hour | Original Date: 11 Jan 2024

Richie Roy and Johnny Mac spread their sunshine all around the globe on the GAYBC Happy Hour. Except... the Sunshine State. The phobic and fascistic state of Florida continues to crank out anti-LGBTQIA+ legislation as fast as the governor and his MAGA-bigot lawmakers can think of something more dangerous than the last bill. In fact, one such proposed law might put a target on this very description and leave us facing a lawsuit and $35,000 fines because the freedom of expression would have some pretty tough curbs.

It's no laughing matter, but the hosts are also laughing at a Fox News primetime host who is unhappy about Taylor Swift's influence over voters who share her progressive and civil rights views and who registered to vote this year. Jesse Watters is concerned that Swift is a psyop agent of the Biden Administration's Pentagon. LOL. Rules relating to denial of care for religious reasons implemented by President Trump have been removed by Health and Human Services. But, bigots on the Right are over-riding Republican Gov. Mike DeWine's veto of a bil that bans gender-affirming care for youth and bans transgender female athletes from being on sports teams.

Wrapping up this episode, Richie and Johnny talk about LGBTQIA+ themed entertainment being honored with the crowning achievement in television at this year's Emmy Awards, then offer product recommendations and Richie has his bar apron on and is whipping up an idea for your pleasure in his Mixology 101 classroom.
