“We can disagree and still love each other” is often framed as maturity or respect — but what happens when that disagreement puts real people at risk? In this episode, we confront how “just disagreeing” about LGBTQ+ lives, identities, and inclusion stops being neutral and starts becoming dangerous.We examine the real-world consequences of polite harm, the myth of neutrality, and the cost of silence when injustice is dressed up as belief or civility. This is a call to move beyond comfort and into responsibility — for families, allies, and anyone who claims to love LGBTQ+ people.Because love that refuses to protect is not love at all.Send us a private message. *Note: INCLUDE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS if you'd like us to answer. :-) Support the show

Veteran activist Ken Davis explains the situation (Barry McKay reports).

Maddy is back to talk about the film Bodies, Bodies, Bodies from 2022, a cool, thriller-horror film that plays on the generational zeitgeist of Gen Z. We talk about how the film reflects cultural fears, cultural fetishes, and unspeakable taboos, and how it keeps us all engaged by appealing to our preexisting cultural stereotypes, our natural reaction to protect certain groups of people while fearing others, and a generational gap that has many Gen Zers stuck on their phones living a life that's fake, digital, and maybe where we are all headed in the future.

Valentine's Day can be beautiful for some — and deeply complicated for others. In this episode, we make space for those who feel unseen, pressured, or left out by traditional narratives of love.We explore why romantic love is often treated as the ultimate measure of worth, how that harms LGBTQ+ people and their families, and what it means to reclaim a broader, more honest definition of love. This is an invitation to opt out of shame, redefine belonging, and remember that your life, your timing, and your way of loving are already enough.Because love was never meant to be narrow — it was meant to make room.Send us a private message. *Note: INCLUDE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS if you'd like us to answer. :-) Support the show

You've heard the false teachings. You've read the posts. You've seen the statements of faith declaring, “Marriage is between one man and one woman.”This episode is for every LGBTQ+ person harmed by those words — and for every Christian parent who affirms their child, yet still hears that sentence reverberating through their church, their family, and their faith.Let's be clear: no one should believe the Bible condemns them — or their child — because of that claim.Because it isn't biblical. It isn't historical. And it isn't truth.In today's episode, we expose the lie and shatter the myth of “traditional marriage” and the fantasy of the "perfect" family — replacing it with what Scripture actually reveals: love, covenant, justice, and grace.Beloved, this truth belongs to you!Send us a private message. *Note: INCLUDE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS if you'd like us to answer. :-) Support the show

Was Shakespeare Bisexual? The Truth Hidden in 154 Sonnets - "Shakespair: Sonnet Replies to the 154 Sonnets of William Shakespeare" by Martin BidneyIn Shakespeare's 1609 book of 154 sonnets (14-liners), you'll notice the welcoming, inclusive, bisexual sensibility of thepoems' narrator. He gets involved in three love triangles: first a woman and two men, next again a woman and two men, and finally a triangle of three men. The book's 39 opening sonnets are love poems to his boyfriend. In poem 40 a woman appears, and when the Shakespeare narrator falls in love with her, he immediately learns that the boyfriend has been romancing her for several years already! The book, viewed as a whole, resembles a TV series filled with dramatic episodes. The narrator's bipolar mood-switches are themselves psychologically fascinating. A beloved, male or female, can suddenly turn into a frenemy. The emotional range is vast, the implications unending. My contribution? I write an original sonnet reply to every one the Bard offers. He becomes my sociable companion, teacher, mentor, also a joke-telling pal, suffering victim, and rapid imaginer it's exciting to be friends with. There's no book you can read that has more vital and empathetic LGBTQ+ interests and observations. I'm inexpressibly grateful for the chanceto dialogue with "Will" (that's what he calls himself) in his favorite verse form.Martin Bidney, Professor Emeritus of English and Comparative Literature at Binghamton University in upstate New York,taught there for 35 years, publishing Blake and Goethe and Patterns of Epiphany. In the first 23 years of his "rewirement" he has published 61 books of original and translated poetry, often including both in what he calls "verse translation interviews" with poets he has read in Polish, Russian, German, and French.https://www.amazon.com/Shakespair-Replies-Sonnets-William-Shakespeare/dp/B0958VKSZ4https://www.martinbidney.org/http://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/11526mb.mp3
Bisexual, pansexual, fluid, questioning — or just tired of being told you're “actually gay” or “basically straight”? In this week's Hide and Seek, Jon and Craig are joined by CJ and Little Jase for a big, honest, frequently hilarious conversation about what it really means to live Bi+ in queer, kink, health, and dating spaces. Picking up from Big Bi+ Questions deep dive into Bi+ sexual health, the episode starts with a reality check: Bi+ people consistently have some of the worst sexual-health outcomes, not because of behaviour, but because we're routinely erased from messaging. From “MSM” labels that don't fit, to GPs who don't know what to ask, the panel unpacks how stigma, data gaps, and awkward assumptions shape care — and why regular testing and shame-free conversations still matter. From there, things get messier (in a good way). We talk kink and pansexual spaces as unexpected sites of belonging, where gender matters less than consent, communication, and what you're actually there to do. There are stories of inclusive dance floors, not-quite-inclusive venues, and why “gender-inclusive” doesn't always mean welcoming — especially for women, trans people, and disabled Bi+ folks. The episode also tackles dating apps and the “double life” problem: blank profiles, safety risks, Bi+-phobia from all directions, and the emotional labour of being someone's first safe conversation. Add in Pride, parties, tokenism, chosen family, and the ongoing question of “where do we fit?”, and you've got a full-spectrum look at Bi+ life beyond the stereotypes. Funny, sharp, and deeply human, A Bi and Beyond is a reminder that Bi+ people don't sit in the middle — we exist everywhere.

Sophie B. Hawkins performs “Not Beating Around the Bush” (recording of her original song made exclusively for “This Way Out”) and reads an excerpt from “Mrs. Dalloway” by Virginia Woolf. SOPHIE B. HAWKINS is a U.S.-born singer-songwriter whose commercial success has been matched by her passionate advocacy for animal rights, and the equality of women and the queer community. In 1925, VIRGINIA WOOLF introduced the world to “MRS. DALLOWAY”, a groundbreaking novel that explores a single day in the life of an upper-class woman in post-World War I England. With its innovative stream-of-consciousness narrative, “Mrs. Dalloway” remains a landmark in modernist literature. In “NewsWrap” 106 people are roughly arrested in a late December raid on a gay nightspot in Baku, the capital city of Azerbaijan; ten people in France are convicted of online bullying for “maliciously” claiming that First Lady Brigitte Macron is transgender; a U.S. federal judge rules that teachers or other school officials can out trans students to their parents without their consent; while a different federal judge decides that “devoutly Christian” parents can prevent their children from learning about the mere existence of LGBTQ people in school; under pressure from the Trump administration and a lawsuit filed by “devoutly Christian” foster parent applicants, Massachusetts replaces policies specifically requiring foster parents to support LGBTQ children in their care with the more innocuous “based on their individual identity and needs”; and her wife Becca remembers Renee Nicole Good (written this week by GREG GORDON, edited by TANYA KANE-PARRY, produced by BRIAN DeSHAZOR, and reported by RET and MARCOS NAJERA).

What life is like in the newsrooms and on the beat for LGBTQ+ reporters in a time when there's too much news and fewer jobs, according to Los Angeles chapter co-presidents Hansen Bursic and Katie Karl of NLGJA: the Association of LGBTQ+ Journalists (in a roundtable with This Way Out's Lucia Chappelle, interviewed by Brian DeShazor). Plus the reign of a lesbian queen, two music halls, human rights milestones, Southern Hemisphere civil unions and more in The Rainbow Rewind (produced by Brian DeShazor and Sheri Lunn). And in NewsWrap: a raid on an alleged “gay male sauna sex party” in Kuala Lumpur another kind of bust when all 200 arrestees are released without charges, all 27 European Union member nations must recognize the civil marriages of same-gender couples legally performed in any other E.U. member nation under a landmark ruling by the Court of Justice, a ruling in Tokyo's High Court contradicting four previous district court decisions in favor of marriage equality sends the issue to Japan's Supreme Court, the United Kingdom's Women's Institute is being forced to require new and renewing members to confirm that they were documented female at birth, Reverend Dr. Phillippa Phaneuf tells the North Chili United Methodist Church in upstate New York “I'm giving up pretending to be a man,” and more international LGBTQ+ news reported this week by Melanie Keller and John Dyer V (produced by Brian DeShazor).

Was Jesus kind of a stand-up comedian?I mean think about it... A priest, a rabbi, and Jesus walked into a bar. Only Jesus recognized the setup for a joke. I never really thought about Jesus being funny or not. I mean, we've heard the stories 1000 times and... I usually smile at the funnier parts, but I never exactly said, Jesus is really funny!Then I found a little book that really opened my eyes.I will share that with you today as we talk about how funny, profoundly funny, Jesus was. We sure could use a few laughs right now.Send us a private message. *Note: INCLUDE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS if you'd like us to answer. :-) Support the show

This episode is different. It's sacred. The Transgender Day of Remembrance is a day to honor and remember the transgender people whose lives were stolen by violence, hatred, and neglect. We wish we didn't need a day like this. We wish the world were already safe and affirming for our trans family and friends. But the reality is, many lives are lost each year—and too often, those lives are ignored, erased, or dismissed. So today, we stop. We pause. We remember. We honor.
