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.

The rights of LGBT people are on the chopping block across the world, with new countries criminalizing same-sex practices and banning representation of queer relationships in 2025. However, the landscape for LGBT rights has also shifted tremendously towards progress over the past decades. What gives? This week, we explore the texture of progress for LGBT rights. As Indonesia prepares for a new Criminal Code that will outlaw same-sex relations, prominent local advocate Dédé Oetomo charts the trajectory of LGBT rights from cultural openness to increasing repression. Indonesia's path illustrates a pattern of both forward movement and backtracking on the rights of LGBT people across the globe. Dédé Oetomo: Scholar and activist Kyle Knight: Associate Director of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Rights Program at Human Rights Watch Phillip Ayoub: Professor in the Department of Political Science and School of Public Policy at University College London

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. Send us a private message. *Note: INCLUDE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS if you'd like us to answer. :-) Support the show

You are talking about this and then it happens: someone pulls out a Bible verse and declares that God is against transgender people.You've heard it from pulpits, from politicians, maybe from your own family.But, Beloved, here's the truth: the Bible does NOT say what these people claim it does. In fact, what the Bible does say about this is actually fully affirming!So today, we dig in and set the record straight about what the Bible doesn't say, what it does say, and why this matters so much right now!Send us a private message. *Note: INCLUDE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS if you'd like us to answer. :-) Support the show

Brian and Judson celebrate the victory of mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani and the fact that friend-of-the-podcast Brandon Kyle Goodman has extended their run in HEAUX CHURCH off-Broadway at Ars Nova through November 21. Brian raves about the Broadway play Liberation by Bess Wohl. Judson's trick is a treat on Halloween. Brian prepares for a sex party by listening back to his own advice on a previous episode and discovers he may, in fact, be vers. After listening to the Hookup of the Week, the two wax nostalgic for their younger years, hooking up in bars. ​They are then joined by comedian, writer, and actor Jay Jurden, whose debut television special, “Yes, Ma'am,” is now streaming on Hulu. Jay discusses the journey to getting “Yes, Ma'am” on screen, why it was important for the special to be so sex-positive, the necessity of stand-up for marginalized audiences, the new hour he is taking on his “Nothing Special" tour, his 14-year relationship with his now husband, identifying as bisexual, his former career as a personal trainer, his possible future on Broadway, and his deep, queer connection to Marvel's X-Men. ​To cap off the episode, Jay helps Brian and Judson respond to a Go Ask Your Dad question from a listener who is hurt after his partner declines his request for sex, only to go and have a repeat hookup with someone else.

Politicians and pundits have made trans rights one of their top wedge issues. They stir up outrage, and push legislation designed to divide, distract, and control.We've all seen it: bills banning gender-affirming care, bathroom access, policing pronouns, especially in state legislations. Leaders pushing them claim it's about “protecting children” or “upholding values.” But, it's not! This is about consolidating power through fear.And while trans people feel the sting of this, the harm doesn't stop with them. It ripples outward, touching every one of us.Because when anti-trans rhetoric spreads, it erodes compassion, truth, and freedom—for everyone.Send us a private message. *Note: INCLUDE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS if you'd like us to answer. :-) Support the show

We commemorate the birthday of the renowned gay Irish writer Oscar Wilde (October 16, 1854- November 30, 1900) with the play he was writing in October, 1891 — Salomé. Before we get to the play, listen to Brian DeShazor's 2014 interview with the erudite Mr. Nimoy and his wife Susan more than fifty years after the play's original broadcast, and learn how a chance encounter on the sidewalk outside of KPFK Los Angeles with the station's Arts and Literature Director Ruth Seymour developed into almost certainly the first radio broadcast performance of Wilde's 1891 classic tragedy. In this extended podcast edition, we feature the full-length production directed for Pacifica Radio by a “pre-Spock” Leonard Nimoy. Cast: Gail Kobe, Barry Atwater, Jeanne Bates, Andre Tayir, Peter Baldwin, Susan Bay, Gerald Renolds, Alan Montaigne, Lee Whiting, Marcel Ober, Milt Kogen, Charles Reyolds Produced for Pacifica Radio Gerald Zellinger Courtesy of Pacifica Radio Archives

Plus: The “Rainbow Rewind” recalls the end of the picket line, “Don't Ask, Don't Tell's” demise, and no room at the National Council of Churches.

In this compelling conversation, I sit down with 21-year-old desister Simon Amaya Price, who identified as transgender from ages 14 to 17. Now serving as Outreach and Events Lead at the LGB Courage Coalition, Simon offers invaluable insights into why young people—especially those with autism—fall into gender ideology.We explore the perfect storm of factors that led to Simon's trans identification: autism, bullying, sexual assault, and false accusations in the wake of the #MeToo movement. Simon shares how his parents' firm boundaries against medicalization, combined with giving him a "long leash" to make mistakes and learn from them, ultimately helped him desist.Our discussion delves into practical strategies for parents, including the "match plus one" social skills framework, body-based distress tolerance techniques, and why allowing kids to experience natural consequences is crucial. Simon challenges the "neurodiversity affirming" approach that keeps autistic kids disabled, advocating instead for teaching real-world skills. We examine how disconnection from the body fuels gender dysphoria and why adventures, cold showers, and physical challenges can reconnect kids to reality. This episode offers hope and concrete tools for families navigating the gender crisis.Simon is a desister, writer, and speaker, fighting gender ideology with classical liberal values. At 14, he came out as transgender but desisted after 3 years. He has written for The Boston Globe, testified on bills nationwide, has spoken in communities across the country, and been featured in the Daily Mail, Boston Herald, and The Daily Signal. Simon now is the Outreach and Events Lead at the LGB Courage Coalition.Simon can be found at:X (Twitter): @SimonAmayaPriceInstagram: @SimonAmayaPriceYouTube: @SimonAmayaPriceWebsite: simonamayaprice.comBooks mentioned in this episode:The Coddling of the American Mind by Jonathan Haidt and Greg Lukianoff[00:00:00] Start & guest introduction[00:02:52] Political Violence and Role Models[00:04:00] The Coddling of American Minds[00:05:00] Finding Normal Male Peers[00:05:41] Charlie Kirk's Impact[00:07:00] Coming Out as Bisexual[00:08:00] Sexual Assault and False Accusations[00:10:09] Why Accusations Fueled Trans Identity[00:11:18] Parents Unaware of Trauma[00:12:49] How Boys Learn About Female Power[00:14:46] Rejection and False Allegations[00:16:28] Young Men's Dating Fears[00:18:00] Male Coping Strategies[00:20:37] Conservative vs Liberal Dating Success[00:21:41] Parent Coaching Advice[00:23:07] What My Parents Did Right[00:26:00] Making Mistakes Builds Character[00:27:00] Adventures and Neuroplasticity[00:28:01] Natural Consequences Build Identity[00:31:32] Learning Through Experience[00:33:30] Complaining as Communication[00:34:30] Inconvenience vs Challenge vs Trauma[00:37:00] The Long Leash Double Bind[00:39:00] Life Skills Prevent Trans Identity[00:40:26] Social Skills Algorithm[00:41:47] Match Plus One Framework[00:43:00] Life Skills Get You Out[00:44:05] Working Hard on Social Fluidity[00:45:00] Neurodiversity Affirming Care Problems[00:47:23] Therapists Who Only Validate[00:49:00] Tools for Autistic Teens[00:51:00] Frameworks for Social Understanding[00:54:00] Mental Health Energy Landscapes[00:56:00] Reflective Listening for Rumination[00:58:03] Body-Based Distress Tolerance[01:02:00] Concrete Goals in Therapy[01:04:00] Breaking Down Big Goals[01:07:00] Modeling Coping Strategies[01:09:08] Ice Cube Self-Harm Prevention[01:11:00] Embodied Experiences Matter[01:14:00] Ancient Vedic Psychology[01:16:00] Looking Inwards vs Ruminating[01:18:30] Trauma Separates Mind from Body[01:19:41] Growing Into Your Body[01:22:00] Losing Connection at Puberty[01:24:00] From Appearance to Function[01:25:17] Adult Personality Development[01:27:00] Presenting Yourself Authentically[01:28:02] Breaking Down Big Tasks[01:30:00] Health Signals and Attractiveness[01:31:00] Queer Theory vs Reality[01:33:00] Theory of Mind and Autism[01:33:39] Standpoint Epistemology Problems[01:35:45] Understanding Historical Atrocities[01:37:05] Street Conversations with Opposition[01:39:00] Charlie Kirk Abortion Discussion[01:40:30] Building Empathy Across Difference[01:41:56] Starting with Agreement[01:43:38] Closing and Contact InformationROGD REPAIR Course + Community gives concerned parents instant access to over 120 lessons providing the psychological insights and communication tools you need to get through to your kid.

Jesus' message was clear: the kingdom of God is here and now. His anger burned toward those in power who oppressed the vulnerable. His focus was justice, compassion, and service — NOT personal salvation formulas.Yet so much of today's theology on LGBTQ issues, sin, salvation, and authority doesn't come from Jesus at all — it comes from Paul.So we ask: are Christians really following Paul instead of Jesus?Send us a private message. *Note: INCLUDE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS if you'd like us to answer. :-) Support the show

Shaun Peterson's film documentary investigates the evidence that Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, would today be considered bisexual or queer (interviewed by Brian DeShazor).

In this episode of Quakers Today, co-hosts Sweet Miche (they/them) and Peterson Toscano (he/him) explore the impact of affinity groups and how they provide a space for community and spiritual nourishment. Affinity Spaces: A Sacred Necessity African American Friends Vanessa Julye and Curtis Spence speak from the heart about why affinity spaces are sacred. Vanessa, Associate Secretary for Organizational Cultural Transformation at Friends General Conference, and Curtis, a writer and minister, share how these groups offer "soul rest," a place to breathe, and an opportunity to be fully seen without constantly centering polite white supremacy (PWS). Vanessa credits Yawo Brown as the originator of the phrase, “polite white supremacy.” “I didn't join a BIPOC Quaker affinity group because I had something to teach. I joined because I needed to breathe.” — Curtis Spence “If there is a BIPOC person within Quakerism looking for a place where they can have more connections with other BIPOC people, there are resources out there... I hope there comes a time when we can stop justifying affinity spaces.” — Vanessa Julye You'll hear excerpts from their influential articles in the October 2025 issue of Friends Journal: Vanessa Julye, Affinity Spaces for BIPOC Friends: Healing from Polite White Supremacy Together [link to article at FriendsJournal.org] Curtis Spence, We Gather to Affinity Worship and the Light That Disrupts [link to article at FriendsJournal.org] Extended Conversation: Watch the full video conversation with Vanessa Julye and Curtis Spence on the Friends Journal YouTube channel. [insert hyperlink] Environmental Justice & the Illusion of Separation Writer and activist Eileen Flanagan shares wisdom from her new book, Common Ground: How the Crisis of the Earth Is Saving Us from Our Illusion of Separation. She connects the spiritual dilemma of loving one's neighbor with the urgent realities of the climate crisis, highlighting how environmental racism creates a shared, though unequal, stake in the fight for a habitable world. “I boiled down my dilemma to a challenging theological question: How do I love my neighbor when he is killing my other neighbors?” — Eileen Flanagan Learn more about Eileen, her tour, and her writing at EileenFlanagan.com. Read a review of Common Ground by Rua Swinterfeld at FriendsJournal.org. For one of her chapters, Eileen interviewed Daniel Hunter.

Happy Hump Day, babes! Scott's got another deliciously naughty tale that starts with steam and ends with... well, you'll just have to listen

Last week, we talked about healing—the kind that doesn't just change us, but changes the world. The healing that makes us more kind, more loving, more empathetic.But here's the truth: while we're doing this sacred work, there is a battle raging around us. A relentless stream of fear, attacks, and psychological warfare designed to wear us down, to make us give up hope.So how do we stand strong in the middle of all that? How do we keep our hearts from breaking under the weight of it?Today, I have a story for you. It's not just powerful—it's one of the most powerful stories I've ever heard about finding courage, resilience, and unshakable love in the face of fear.
