  Ep. 369: Queer Clubs Vanish From Instagram, FDA Pick's Anti-Trans Record & More | Sept 26, 2026

  Sep 26, 202612 min

  Listen Up Girl | Saturday, September 26, 2026 Alaska Senate candidate Mary Peltola, a former Anchorage Pride grand marshal, faces allegations from former staffers that she used anti-gay and ableist slurs. Her campaign denies the anti-gay slur and says she regrets the other language. Queer voters are debating what it means for a race that could decide the Senate. The administration's FDA nominee, Dr. Heidi Overton, sidestepped basic questions at her confirmation hearing, from IUDs to the MMR vaccine. We also look at her record opposing gender-affirming care for trans youth. Queer nightclubs in Los Angeles and San Francisco, many serving Black and Latino communities, lost their Facebook and Instagram pages for months with no explanation. They only got them back after a lawmaker and reporters stepped in. In Australia, 100 organizations are urging lawmakers to reject efforts to redefine "sex" in the Sex Discrimination Act. And in England, a Labour councillor responds to his leaked Grindr profile with humor and zero shame. Your daily LGBTQ+ news briefing.
