In this special Pride Month episode, we're focusing on the urgent challenges facing LGBTQ+ youth in Michigan — and what it will take to protect and uplift them.Matt is joined by Representative Emily Dievendorf (D-77) and Emme Zanotti, Senior Director of Movement Building & Political Affairs at Equality Michigan. Together, they break down the real impact of harmful legislation, the rising threats to queer youth, and the role that advocates, allies, and lawmakers must play in creating safe and affirming spaces.This is a must-listen for anyone who cares about youth, equity, and justice.

It's not just about square footage or school districts. For many LGBTQ+ people who are looking for a place to live in Indiana, it's about finding safety and support.“I would recommend traveling through different neighborhoods, and identifying areas and businesses that are affirming,” said Austin Lipking, president of the Indianapolis Chapter of the LGBTQ+ Real Estate Alliance.Lipking said that can look like a neighborhood where people hang LGBTQ+ flags, and have supportive stickers on cars and business windows. He also recommends checking out local coffee shops to get a feel for the atmosphere and connect with local LGBTQ+ organizations.Lipking said one of the biggest challenges clients face is finding gender-affirming or LGBTQ+-friendly real estate and mortgage professionals. He said clients are often concerned about outing themselves.Other unique challenges include updating legal names, and navigating documents with outdated or incorrect gender information. Lipking suggests having all documents ready before the rental or homebuying process begins.As Lipking sees it, utilizing the LGBTQ+ Real Estate Alliance is a good way to find a realtor that can maintain a client's privacy, and have a better understanding of what their needs are going to be.The Indianapolis Chapter of the LGBTQ+ Real Estate Alliance hopes to connect with the community on July 16 for an axe-throwing social where everyone feels welcome.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

June 26 marks 10 years since the Supreme Court ruled in the Obergefell V. Hodges case to effectively legalize same-sex marriage across the country.The ruling came almost one year to the day after a separate decision temporarily legalized same-sex marriage at the state level in Indiana.On Wednesday, 11 years ago, a federal judge ruled that Indiana's then-ban on same-sex marriage was unconstitutional.Two days later, another judge blocked that federal ruling. Yet, in that window, numerous couples were able to rush to the City-County Building in Indianapolis to have their marriages legally recognized.Earlier this month, delegates to the Southern Baptist Convention voted to call for the reversal of Obergefell.The Williams Institute at the UCLA School of Law says about 591,000 same-sex couples have married in the 10 years since the Obergefell decision.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Melissa Gisoni spent a lot of years trying to do and say the right thing. Then she hit 50 and decided to stop worrying about how others might see her. She joins John Corella for a conversation about finding her voice, showing up more boldly, and choosing joy on her own terms.   John and Melissa talk about the power of allyship, what it meant to her to attend West Hollywood Pride, and how her daughters, Maddie and Mackenzie, have grown up with a strong sense of inclusion and empathy. What does it look like to raise kids in the spotlight while still protecting their spirit? And how do you hold boundaries when the world keeps asking for more?   Melissa also opens up about her dream of becoming an actress and what draws her to roles that feel fun and lighthearted, maybe even a Hallmark movie someday. She shares what she learned from being a dance mom, how she supported her girls as they built careers of their own, and what she would do differently if she could go back, especially when it came to speaking up for Mackenzie.   In this episode, Melissa reflects on what she got right, what she let slide, and what she'd never do the same way again. Listeners will come away with a deeper understanding of how to support their kids without losing themselves, what it really means to protect someone in the public eye, and why using your voice, especially later in life, can feel both freeing and necessary.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Introduction to Melissa Gisoni 03:10 Celebrating Pride and Community 06:00 Finding Your Voice After 50 08:59 Navigating Social Media and Self-Expression 11:48 The Journey of a Dance Mom 14:51 Reflections on Reality TV 18:07 The Competitive Nature of Dance 20:59 Recognizing Talent in Your Children 24:04 Lessons from Dance Moms 27:06 Navigating Dance Mom Dynamics 30:00 Handling Fame and Its Challenges 33:16 The Importance of Supportive Parenting 36:04 Spirituality and Personal Growth 39:15 Dreams and Aspirations Beyond Dance 42:17 Community and Mental Health   Links Dance Dad with John Corella on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dancedadwithjohncorella/ John on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/john_corella/ Patreon: https://patreon.com/TheonlyDanceDadwithJohnCorella Website: johncorella.net Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

Boldness looks different when you're a gay dad, a former Broadway dancer, and raising a toddler named Maverick in Florida.   To kick off Pride Month, John Corella is joined by Bret and Stephen, Broadway performers, husbands, and proud dads, who offer an honest look at parenting, partnership, and identity. They talk about raising their son Maverick with intention, finding joy in everyday moments, and the kind of quiet courage it takes to show up as a two-dad family in spaces built for straight families.   Where does boldness come from when the world keeps trying to put you in a box? What does it mean to raise a child who sees authenticity modeled at home? Through stories about sobriety, social media, and their dance competition backgrounds, Bret and Stephen reflect on what has shaped them and what they hope to pass on.   This episode questions the norms that still dominate parenting culture and the dance world, and it offers a reminder that being seen can be a radical act of love.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Introduction and Pride Month Kickoff 08:57 Becoming Bold as Gay Parents 15:03 How Dance Competitions Shaped Identity 17:55 Coming Out and Family Reactions 21:03 Advice for LGBTQ+ Youth 23:50 Finding Joy in Parenting and Creativity 26:55 Coping with Online Negativity 36:57 Personal Stories of Addiction and Recovery 42:20 Relationship Advice for Gay Men 44:10 Authenticity vs. Conformity in Gay Culture 47:51 Navigating Monogamy and Open Relationships 53:47 Parenting Challenges and Emotional Growth 56:34 What Fatherhood Has Taught Us 01:00:07 Public Reactions to Gay Dads 01:04:46 Challenging Gender Norms in Parenting 01:16:30 Understanding Straight Privilege in Family Life 01:21:15 How Representation Shapes Queer Families 01:23:11 Celebrating Pride and Building Community   Links Connect with Bret and Stephen: www.instagram.com/broadwayhusbands https://substack.com/@broadwayhusbands   Connect with John Corella: Dance Dad with John Corella on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dancedadwithjohncorella/ John on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/john_corella/ Patreon: https://patreon.com/TheonlyDanceDadwithJohnCorella Website: johncorella.net Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

LGBTQ+ seniors in Indianapolis are at the center of a new effort to ensure they're not left behind. The Elder Pride Indy Collaborative just released results from a key community survey.The survey, led by the Damien Center, is part of a larger plan to close gaps for the LGBTQ+ older adults. Now that the responses are in, organizers say it's time to act.The needs assessment also revealed concerns such as the lack of LGBTQ+-affirming healthcare, mental health support, fears of discrimination in long-term housing, and difficulties connecting with local resources. Many people said they wanted a dedicated community center.The organization is considering forming an advocacy network that includes representatives from various local groups to address ongoing needs. They're also planning to create an information hub to help people stay informed and connected.Another public survey will likely be conducted next year.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Asian American Pacific Islander Pride is about creating safe spaces.It's also a celebration of culture and identity and visibility, and, for many, a moment to finally feel seen.Indy Pride aims to uplift Asian American Pacific Islander voices within the LGBTQ+ community, voices that are often overlooked.The organization on May 16 had its third annual AAPI Pride Celebration at 10 East Arts Hub, filled with comedians, drag queens, and traditional foods and performances. Castillo Jimenez says this year's celebration had a great turnout with over 60 people celebrating their identity. He is glad that the Asian American Pacific Islander LGBTQ+ community has expanded over the last few years. “Indy Pride started with a not-so-good representation. It was mainly white cisgendered individuals, and, I think, five years to now, we've made diversity and inclusion the center of who we are.”Indy Pride plans to make the 2026 Asian American Pacific Islander Pride celebration even bigger, and hopes the community supports Asian American Pacific Islander LGBTQ+ Hoosiers beyond Pride month in June.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

(Oct 11, 2024) It can feel isolating being gay, lesbian, bi, trans, or questioning in a rural place, where there are fewer resources and places for like-minded people to gather. That's why the Adirondack North Country Pride Festival in Plattsburgh makes a difference. Also: The candidates to be Plattsburgh's next mayor faced off in a debate this week.

This month, we are celebrating Pride with a brand new series! We'll explore how the 1980s AIDS crisis in San Francisco led to the birth of medical cannabis and sparked a national legalization movement. Before our series begins next week, we hope you'll enjoy an episode from the Stereotypes: Straight Talk from Queer Voices podcast, hosted by award-winning journalist Christopher Beale. You will hear the story of Jim Mitulski, a gay pastor who provided cannabis for compassionate use to dying AIDS patients through his church and broadened the definition of medical cannabis. Tune in to hear his inspiring story of courage and advocacy. “I took a risk. I used my body. I acted on a belief that was motivated by my desire to provide healing and comfort for my friends. I didn't know what else to do that I could do, but this was something I could do.” - Jim Mitulski If you enjoyed this episode, we'd recommend Episode 133, Weed Words: Marijuana- Unpacking It's Complicated History.
