LGBT FC
Ain't No Hood Like Motherhood
It's LGBT FC's first-ever Mother's Day episode! Joining Daisy and Luke are two amazing mothers in LA's supporters culture community, Emily Grijalva (@xelaquetzal on Twitter) and Tiff Sanchez, who are also both members of Poderosas supporters group (@poderosas_acfc on Instagram and Twitter).
First we recap an up-and-down run of form for both LAFC and Angel City FC. Then at 10' in, the Day in Gay brings some updates from state legislatures and courthouses for LGBTQ+ rights, efforts by some to ensure access in NCAA sports for transgender athletes, a possible coming out for men's footballers later this month, and a big retirement announcement in the international women's game.
Then it's time to hear from our mothers, beginning at 16' with Emily Grijalva, who shares about her sons and supporting their exploration and growth. Then, at 39'30" we are joined by Tiff Sanchez, with a family of her own, talking about bringing her own approach and providing a safe space for her kids.
This is episode is our gift to the mothers in our LGBT FC family. Have a gay day!
