Across this summer's Pride season OUTCAST UK is dropping a weekly LGBTQIA+ news update followed by our hot take and analysis of the week's events.Ex BBC 5 Live / LBC and Times Radio journalist and broadcaster Kevin McGrath joins Graeme Smith every week across this summer. On this episode we're talking about the return of Dannii Minogue in a new LGBTQ+ dating show, Dannii was always the spicier more interesting Minogue in Graeme's controversial opinion. We hear about how US law makers in Montana have banned a trans representative from the state legislature for standing up for trans rights, including for the family of a trans teen who attempted suicide watching them debate anti trans legislation. There is also the Montana state representative who said she would rather her daughter died by suicide than transitioned. Then there is the curios case of the man who defecated on a Pride flag and then wiped his bottom on another. It's the latest bizarre anti LGBTQ+ protest to take place there recently. We dissect his actions whilst falling about laughing.THIS IS OUTCAST UK

Nobody knew how to make the great and powerful with big egos get in line during a TV interview than Dame Edna. Her chat shows became the ones all the big ego celebs wanted to be on… only to be ridiculed and cut down to size be the Dame who in end could have passed for an elder member of the aristocracy.The Dame is one of the most ensuring cultural figures of the last few decades and was played by the Australian comic and actor Barry Humphries. Despite being the Dame being an LGBTQ+ icon to many, Humphries was famously anti woke and was labelled by some people as anti trans.So how did one of the biggest gender non confirming entertainment acts of all time end up being played by a straight man with conservative political leanings?Graeme Smith takes a personal look at the cultural impact of Dame Edna on young queer people growing up in the 80's and 90's and how that contrasted with the politics of the man himself.

We dissect the week's queer news agenda and then discuss Kevin's impending trip to Berlin. Graeme and Kevin have both been to Berlin, but had vastly different cultural experiences, Kevin going to the David Hasselhoff museum and G heading to the Berghain. We also explain modern porn to Kevin who has only ever seen porn once. Actually that makes twice in his life now, by the end of this episode anyway.THIS IS OUTCAST UK
