It's 2024, and Daisy and Luke are together again! MLS may be taking a break, but LGBT FC is coming in hot to kick off the new year.
At 11' the Day in Gay kicks off with news of more proposed bils - yes, more - going after LGBTQ+ people and transgender people in particular. After that there's news of a possible new gay player in the English Football League, and then it's time to celebrate another country where same-sex marriage is now legal!
Then LGBT FC welcomes two transgender athletes to share their stores - one who's currently training in several sports and the other who has retired from competing.
First, at 19'15", Mack Beggs (@mack.beggs on Insta), who is featured in HBO and Hulu's "Changing the Game" (@changinggamedoc on Insta), shares about growing up an athlete while also discovering himself and what we need to be doing now to uplift more transgender and intersex athletes. And at 42'30" LGBT FC's first-ever anonymous guest shares some of his story playing sports on the boys teams as a kid and then transitioning as an adult and getting a new lease on life.
We love our LGBTQ+ familia, and that includes all our trans familia. Have a gay day!
