We are back with a very special episode. Joining Daisy and Luke are none other than Will Ferrell (@officialwillf on Twitter) and Harper Steele (@harperjsteele on Insta). Will is a comedic legend and co-founder of LAFC, and Harper has been Will's partner in comedic writing, and she transitioned male to female as an adult.

To start this episode, we quickly recap the 2024 seasons for Angel City FC and LAFC, who are both out until 2025. Then at 10'30" in, the Day in Gay covers a few big challenges facing transgender folks in the US, after which we offer some glimmers of joy to celebrate in otherwise difficult times for the LGBTQ+ community.

Then, at 15', it's time for our big chat, with Will and Harper, who share why they decided to do a road trip, and film it, and what privilege means for them. We also get their thoughts on going to LAFC and Angel City FC games, and their ideas for ways to make the beautiful game more inclusive for the LGBTQ+ community.

Special thank you to LAFC's Larry Freedman for helping to make this conversation possible. Have a gay day!

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!

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!
