LGBT FC
Be an Ally
Daisy and Luke are celebrating an LAFC derby win and here to remind y'all to be an ally. So this episode features two LAFC podcast hosts - JR Lebert (@lafc_thescarf on Insta and Twitter) and Travis Helwig (@travishelwig on Insta and Twitter) - who themselves are straight allies to the LGBTQ+ community.
There's lots to recap at the start of the show, including cool news from overseas and announcing the winner of LGBT FC's first-ever Sexiest Men's Footballer March Madness Tourney.
At 15' the Day in Gay brings some ups and downs - some anti-LGBTQ+ bills dying and others rising from the dead - followed by a sweet story from the south of Spain, an unexpected story out of the women's NCAA tourney, and a big surprise from professional women's basketball.
Then it's time to hear from our allies. First, at 21'30", JR Lebert, host of Defenders of the Banc (@defendthebanc on Insta and Twitter), shares about being a teacher and organizer of youth soccer leagues. And then at 48'30" Travis Helwig, host of Happy Foot Sad Foot (@happyfootsadfoot on Insta and @hafosafo on Twitter), talks about creating community and turns the tables on our hosts.
Remember: Be an ally. And have a gay day!
