Description

On Spirit Day, which raises awareness and fights against anti-LGBTQ bullying, Laverne Cox explains how the real bullies aren’t in the schoolyard; they’re on Capitol Hill. She unpacks the flood of anti-LGBTQ legislation passed by right-wing politicians, why these bills are harming Queer kids, and how Republicans are weaponizing transphobia in the 2024 election to distract from real problems. #DailyShow #LaverneCox #SpiritDay Subscribe to The Daily Show: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwWhs_6x42TyRM4Wstoq8HA/?sub_confirmation=1 Follow The Daily Show: Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheDailyShow Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedailyshow Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedailyshow Stream full episodes of The Daily Show on Paramount+: http://www.paramountplus.com/thedailyshow Follow Comedy Central: Twitter: https://twitter.com/ComedyCentral Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ComedyCentral Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/comedycentral About The Daily Show: Jon Stewart and The Best F**king News Team host The Daily Show, an Emmy and Peabody Award-winning program analyzing the biggest stories in news, politics, and culture through a sharp, satirical lens.

I was not expecting Laverne to knock it out of the park. She's amazing. Bring her back for more episodes.

It's wild how lawmakers spend more time writing laws about bathrooms than fixing actual problems. Imagine being so fragile that someone else's gender identity is your biggest concern while the world is literally on fire.

As a teacher, I can confirm that we can't even get kids to wear deodorant.

65 mil for ads against KIDS and there's people starving in this country. Homeless people, no social services, no health care. Great. Don't fix the country, throw the money away😔

Not for nothing, but if you could go off to school, have a major operation , and come home at 3 on the bus like Trump thinks.....that would be amazing medical advancements.

Hello Laverne! 💜 Your purple suit is awesome! I'm trans, 47 years old, and I can attest to the fact that internet wasn't the problem I had growing up! I started my transition in 2016, and there seems to be a huge uptick when pumpkinhead got in there. Not to mention getting surgeries in school would be "free healthcare", which repubs are TOTALLY against; let alone that the schools can't even afford chalk. The teachers have to buy it because the govt has gotten so stingy over what is considered "necessary", like food.
