Mean Girls star Jonathan Bennett joins Kevin Fallon on Obsessed to spill behind-the-scenes stories about playing Aaron Samuels, his reign as the Gay King of Christmas, and why he'll never stop embracing his most iconic role. Bennett reveals how coming out transformed his Hollywood career, why he's doubling down on LGBTQ+ love stories amid today's political climate, and what it's like to make history with Hallmark's groundbreaking gay Christmas movies. Plus, he dishes on joining General Hospital, hosting Halloween Wars, and bringing more queer representation to mainstream TV. And, of course, we get to the question every Mean Girls fan knows: Does his hair actually look sexy pushed back?

The sixth annual Annapolis Pride Parade and Festival returns THIS Saturday, October 3, with the parade stepping off at 11 a.m. and the festival running from noon to about 6 p.m. at the Bates Athletic Complex behind Maryland Hall.  In this bonus podcast, we sit down with Annapolis Pride Board Chair Jake Trudeau to talk about what's planned for the weekend, including two entertainment stages, Ryan Cassata, drag performances, a dedicated kids zone, ADA transportation, ASL interpretation, and a new sensory tent. Trudeau also explains why the event moved from June to October and why this year's festival will remain in the cooler fall weather.  But the conversation goes well beyond Saturday. Trudeau talks about the growth of Annapolis Pride, its year-round community events, the need for volunteers, and a longer-term goal of creating a permanent community space for the LGBTQ+ community and its allies.  For anyone who has never been to the parade or festival, Trudeau's message is simple: arrive early, come as you are, and expect a day filled with community, entertainment, and plenty of support and love! Have a listen! (Note: If I needed another reason to dislike BWW, it would be that their televisions periodically interfered with our microphones —sorry!)

On this episode, we have a special guest from the AFJ Justice team. We are joined by our colleague Morgan Flitt an Alliance for Justice Senior Dorot Fellow. With Morgan we will be covering the upcoming cases that will be heard by the US Supreme Court this session. Many of these cases – affect everyday people and the issues they care about,  climate change, gun rights, voting, immigration and LGBTQ+ rights. Then we will talk about how nonprofits can get involved with supreme court advocacy, nominees, and more while staying nonpartisan and being mindful of lobbying limits. Attorneys for this Episode Brittany Leonard Susan Finkle Sourlis Morgan Flitt   Intro to Justice Program: Brittany ·      Our justice team works on both federal and state judicial appointments and elections and runs numerous invaluable resources including our judicial vacancy tracker and helps keep us and the public informed about nominees. This includes the decisions they make after they've been confirmed, and how cases in federal courts – especially the supreme court – are impacting our civil rights and democracy.   ·      Today, we are thrilled to be joined on the pod by our friend and colleague Morgan Flitt. Morgan is a fellow attorney who serves as the Senior Dorot Fellow on the Federal Courts team. ·      Today we want to talk about the upcoming cases in this supreme court term, what we should be keeping an eye on, the potential impacts for our c3 partners, and what nonprofits can do during this term and future terms to advocate.   Cases to watch out for this term (4 across 4 differenttt critical issue areas) ·      Climate Change o      Suncor Energy (U.S.A.) Inc. v. Commissioners of Boulder County (No. 25-170) §     Issue: Whether federal law precludes state-law claims seeking relief for injuries allegedly caused by the effects of interstate and international greenhouse-gas emissions on the global climate; and (2) whether this court has statutory and Article III jurisdiction to hear this case §     Brief context: The Board of County Commissioners of Boulder County and the City of Boulder sued Exxon Mobil and Suncor, arguing that they should share in the costs of mitigating climate change because they knowingly contributed to causing it through producing, marketing, and selling fossil fuels while misrepresenting its dangers. The companies argued federal law preempted these claims, but the lower court agreed with the Board and the City of Boulder. §     Consequences: If the Supreme Court sides with Big Oil and Gas Companies, giving them blanket federal immunity from state tort law, this could potentially wipe out the dozens of climate deception cases that states and localities have filed around the country. §     Argument: Oct 5, 2026   ·      Voting and democracy o      Republican National Committee v. Mi Familia Vota (No. 25-1017) §     Issue: (1) Whether the National Voter Registration Act or a federal consent decree prohibits Arizona from requiring voter-registration applicants to produce "satisfactory evidence" of U.S. citizenship when registering with a state registration form; and (2) whether the NVRA prohibits Arizona from implementing a program within 90 days of a federal election to cancel the registrations of voters who are not U.S. citizens. §     Brief context: In 2022, Arizona passed two additional hurdles to voting. First, they required new voter registrants to provide a physical "documentary proof of citizenship." Secondly, Arizona enabled county recorders to conduct citizenship audits of voter registration rolls against both state and federal databases. Mi Familia Vota and others filed suit against the Republican National Committee (RNC) to block these state laws from going into effect. The Ninth Circuit sided with Mi Familia Vota. §     Consequences: Siding with the RNC to greenlight these additional hurdles would render another blow to voting access and our democracy. Such demands would screen out lower income voters, people who have changed their names, naturalized citizens, and anyone who doesn't happen to have easy ways to obtain a passport or their birth certificate. It would also open the door for other states to impose similar inequitable requirements. §     Argument: December 8, 2026   ·      LGBTQ+ Rights o      International Partners for Ethical Care, Inc. v. Ferguson (No. 25-840) §     Issue: Whether parents have standing to challenge a law or policy that deliberately displaces their decisionmaking role as to "gender transitions" of their children, and in so doing creates present and likely future impediments to their ability to parent their children as they deem best for them. §     Brief context: Washington took "modest steps to address the crisis of transgender youth homelessness" by updating its laws to allow minors in shelters to access "health care — including gender-affirming care — without contacting their parents." Staff must still make good faith efforts to notify the minor's parents and are only allowed to withhold information if sharing it would cause harm to the minor. In response, the International Partners for Ethical Care and a group of parents challenged these laws, claiming they chill speech and "deliberately displace their decision-making role." The Ninth Circuit court of appeals dismissed their case for lack of legal standing. §     Consequences: The issue of legal standing is often political, and if the Court grants these parents standing, it could open the door for special interest groups to manufacture so-called grievances to bring challenges to school curricula, library books, vaccination policies, and confidential reproductive care. ·      It would also advance yet another challenge to the medical necessity of gender-affirming care for transgender people while protecting the abuse of anti-LGBTQ+ parental rejection. §     Argument: December 7, 2026   ·      Gun Safety o      Viramontes v. Cook County (No. 25-238), consolidated with Grant v. Higgins (No. 25-566) §     Issue: Whether the Second and 14th Amendments guarantee the right to possess AR-15 platform and similar semiautomatic rifles. §     Brief context: When Cutberto Viramontes and Christopher Khaya were barred from owning AR-15 style weapons after they were banned in Cook County, Illinois, they joined two gun-rights organizations and filed a suit arguing that the law banning the sale, transfer, and possession of semiautomatic rifles violates the Second and Fourteenth Amendments of the Constitution. Both an Illinois district court and the Seventh Circuit sided with Cook County and upheld the assault weapons ban. What will happen if the ban is overturned? §     Consequences: A decision overturning this ban could void other assault weapons bans in Connecticut, California, New York, and a dozen other states — bans that have drastically reduced mass shootings, including school shootings, compared to states without such bans. §     Argument: December 2, 2026   What c3s can do: ·      Supreme court advocacy is nonpartisan—you are free to stand for or against cases before any court or get involved in the cases. o      Litigation at the supreme court o      Amicus briefs o      Educating the public about cases and impacts of opinions Advocacy and lobbying work about the courts: ·      Nominee advocacy—Advocate for or against nominees to supreme court (lobbying) o      Remember the lower district courts and circuit courts as well o      Remember the lobbying rules if you are a c3: must track and report your lobbying the IRS and stay within your lobbying limits. Great place for c4s to get involved because they can lobbying in an unlimited amount. ·      Ethics advocacy—ask congress for more oversight or ethics rules (Lobbying if it will require a legislative vote). ·      Supreme court reform: increasing the size of the bench, retirement requirements, and more   Resources ·      Alliance for Justice, Being a Player ·      Alliance for Justice, Confirmation of Supreme Court Justices ·      Alliance for Justice, Judicial Nominee Tracker ·      Alliance for Justice, Supreme Court Reform ·      See more of our coverage of critical Supreme Court cases this term here.

October 1st marks the start of heat season in New York City, when landlords are legally required to keep buildings warm... but getting a landlord to actually fix a heat problem can be its own battle. Tenants' rights attorney Leah Goodridge walks us through what tenants are entitled to and the steps she, herself, took to get the hot water back in her apartment. Then, WNYC and Gothamist housing reporter David Brand breaks down landlords' perspective on why heat repairs can take as long as they do and also what the city's new policy requiring inspectors to check every complaint individually means for New Yorkers.Photo: Spencer Platt/Getty ImagesGot any questions, comments or story ideas?

In this episode, a look a the non-profit website of the National Alliance on Mental Health. What does it offer for those of us that have mental health challenges? There is good stuff on the NAMI website. Eh, there is a problem in the episode: I said the word of when I should have said on. I've fixed the visuals but... yeah I goofed. There are websites that claim to provide mental health information. Many of them are commercial for profit websites. Nothing wrong with that but you have to look at the product and what they sell.    Often it is you.    Not just cookies any more there are trackers, bugs and algorithm fences that round you and your information up for profit.   Some websites provide a surface level information that is connected to affiliate links.  Even those sites that originally have nothing to do with mental health issues.    I've seen mental health related articles on tech websites, hardware websites, and so called consumer-ish type sites that are nothing but link farms for products that are being sold under the guise of a review.    So I want to start doing more about describing the legit sites, the tolerable ones and hopefully over time, this will help folks stay away from the more skanky sites.   Resources Mentioned:  NAMI Information page on Mental Health Conditions.   NAMI Connections for Peer Support Group.

Jonny and Heather check back in on the Trumpfoolery. Is it the end of the nation or the end of this authoritarian grab? White shoes? In this stormy political wheather, they check in on the double whammy LGBTQ+ students received this week as the Department of Education removes Title IX protections against discrimination for queer and trans students , and it is also firming up its federal loan limits on degrees that don't lead to professions earning enoungh money--so sorry if you wanted to major in music, art, social work, or (checks notes)...education??? In the back half of the show they revew latest evidence that transphobia isn't earning as much campaign punch as it used to. Take note, Ohio! So, is it better to not throw trans people under the bus because it is politically ineffective or morally wrong? White shoes?

Send us Fan MailWhat if doubt isn't the opposite of faith?What if it's where faith actually begins?In Mark 9, a desperate father looks at Jesus and says one of the most honest things ever recorded in Scripture: “I believe; help my unbelief.”He isn't certain. He doesn't have his theology figured out. He's scared, exhausted, and standing in the middle of chaos.And Jesus doesn't reject him.In this message, Pastor Dan Minor challenges the version of Christianity that confuses certainty with faith. The mountaintop may give us beautiful experiences, but Jesus keeps leading us back down the mountain, into the mess, the questions, the suffering, and the lives of people who need healing more than they need another theological argument.Because faith isn't about having every answer.It's about what we do when the answers stop working.And when religion becomes more interested in winning arguments than helping hurting people, we've missed Jesus entirely.Maybe the question was never, “Who's right?”Maybe Jesus keeps asking us, “Who's hurting?”#HarvestSarasota #DanMinor #FaithAndDoubt #ProgressiveChristianity #FaithDeconstruction #ProgressiveTheology #Mark9 #IBelieveHelpMyUnbelief #FaithReimagined #ChurchHurt #InclusiveChurch #Jesus #ChristianPodcast #Deconstruction #SpiritualJourney Support the showHarvest is a fully affirming, inclusive (including the LGBTQ+ community) progressive Christian church located in Sarasota, Florida.Follow us on Social Media:Instagram - Instagram.com/harvestsarasotaFacebook - Facebook.com/harvestsarasotaTikTok CLICK HEREDONATE to support our podcast HERERecorded live at Harvest Church in Sarasota by Michael Thomas Regina and Stephen Lehman of Boardtown Creative

What rights do parents have when public schools make decisions involving their children’s gender identity without informing them? Lisa Boothe sits down with Jim Campbell, Chief Legal Counsel at Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), to examine the growing legal battle over parental rights in America’s public schools. Campbell discusses what ADF describes as “secret social transition” policies, including cases in which schools allegedly used different names or pronouns for students while withholding that information from their parents. Campbell also breaks down ADF’s litigation involving parental notification and religious freedom, explains what he says recent court decisions mean for families, and discusses cases ADF has pursued in states including New York, Michigan, Kansas, New Jersey, Texas, and Virginia. Lisa and Jim also tackle disputes over sexually explicit and LGBTQ-themed material in school libraries and classrooms, parents’ ability to opt their children out of certain instruction, and how families can challenge school policies through the courts and local school boards.

Send us Fan MailA foster adoption can change your life and it can also test every ounce of your patience. We sit down with author and longtime educator Lane Igoudin to talk through what adopting from foster care actually looks like when the system's top priority is reunification, even while you are doing the daily work of parenting.Lane shares why he and his husband chose foster care adoption in Los Angeles County instead of private adoption, international adoption, or surrogacy, and how the experience pushed him to write his memoir *If A Family Maybe*. We get into the “concurrent planning” model, the reality of termination of parental rights, and the painful mismatch between what the law promises and what families often live through in court.We also cover practical expectations for prospective foster adoptive parents, including home studies, background checks, required parenting classes, ongoing oversight, and the unpredictable timelines that can turn a six month goal into years. Along the way, Lane raises bigger questions about what makes a family, who gets heard in the process, and why attachment and stability should matter as much as biology.If you are considering adoption from foster care, supporting LGBTQ parents, or trying to understand the foster care legal process beyond the paperwork, this conversation will give you clarity and a lot to think about.

Forty-seven sailors were dead. The Navy had an answer that wasn't an accident but pointed to one dead man.In 1989, the USS Iowa suffered a catastrophic turret explosion that killed everyone inside. Investigators soon focused on Clayton Hartwig, his life insurance policy, and rumors about his relationship with another sailor. As the case unfolded, an LGBTQ+ true crime story emerged alongside questions about military culture, homophobia, and whether a dead sailor had been turned into a convenient scapegoat. But independent investigators would later challenge key parts of the Navy's case, raising a haunting question: was this a crime, an accident, or an investigative failure?Hosted by Jordi and Brad, Beers With Queers explores true crime with a queer perspective, uncovering the darkest corners of LGBTQ+ history. Press play, grab a drink, and join us for one of the Navy's most controversial mysteries. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Gay men are perhaps the most aesthetic community out there: gym routines, filler, hair plugs, veneers, BBLs, skincare, holetox, steroids, and even surgery. This episode dives into the “looksmaxing” of it all, and other trends that inform (or infect) our community. Is everyone who gets cosmetic surgery insecure? Are you toxic for having a really strict gym regimen? How do we draw the line between affirming aesthetic body modification and unhealthy impulses informed by cultural pressure? Answering these questions with us are two guests: nurse practitioner “Injector Chris” and therapist Benjamin Goldman. Hungry for more Sniffies’ Cruising Confessions?

When a teen gets defiant or starts with the back talk, most of us push harder. More rules, louder voice, fewer explanations. And the harder we push, the further they pull away or shut down completely. José Rolón, known as NYC Gay Dad, raised his son and twin daughters as a single dad for ten years. He's the first LGBTQ dad on the cover of Parents Latina and co-host of the Love Take Two podcast, and he shares how he stays strict and fair without the yelling.   IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN HOW TO: Find the one setting where a teen who won't talk finally opens up Understand the real reason your disrespectful teen goes from 0 to 100 Know what to say instead of "because I said so" when defiance hits Use the one thing that earns your teen's respect faster than stricter rules   RESOURCES MENTIONED José Rolón, @NYCGayDad  Love Take Two podcast   The Parenting Teens Academy The challenges we cover in this episode aren't happening in just one house.

Trump's America Is Exhausting Us — And That May Be the Point It feels like America barely has time to process one crisis before the next one arrives. On today's The Karel Cast, Karel takes on the relentless political and cultural news cycle—from the Trump administration's latest moves affecting LGBTQ rights and Title IX, to rising prices, continuing war, climate threats and a country increasingly numb to stories that once would have stopped us in our tracks. But this episode goes beyond Washington. What happens to a society when outrage becomes routine? When allegations of horrific violence become another internet argument? When women and older performers such as Madonna are judged by standards their younger counterparts rarely face? And when celebrity culture can convince us that doing almost nothing is somehow revolutionary? Then there's something called a Kelvin wave. It sounds harmless enough—but changes in the Pacific can have serious consequences for ocean conditions and coastal communities. What does it mean, and why should California be paying attention? Politics. LGBTQ rights. War. Prices. Climate. Celebrity. Social media. One story after another. One outrage after another. And eventually, people become exhausted. That may be one of the most important things happening in America right now. Join the conversation: Are you experiencing news and outrage fatigue?

On The Charlie James Show on Tuesday, September 29, 2026, host Charlie James expresses criticism of progressive Christian denominations, specifically targeting an Episcopal sermon that framed the biblical figure Lazarus through a queer lens. He then discusses recent CDC survey data indicating a sharp decline in American teenagers identifying as LGBTQ+, characterizing the previous rise as a temporary social trend. Later, caller Ben from Travelers Rest shares an experience from Furman University involving a campus presentation that reinterpreted the biblical story of Joseph and his coat of many colors through a gender-nonconforming lens. James and Ben criticize these theological reinterpretations, with James concluding that such shifts drive believers away from mainline denominations.

In this week's episode of The Bible for Normal People, Brian Recker and Tamice Spencer-Helms celebrate the podcast's 10th anniversary by talking with Pete Enns and Jared Byas about how their relationships with the Bible, faith, and certainty have evolved over the past decade. They reflect on the costs of questioning evangelicalism, the ways The Bible for Normal People has helped people hold onto a love for Scripture while letting go of rigid interpretations, and how lived experiences from people of color and LGBTQ+ communities have expanded their understanding of what it means to read the Bible. Together, they explore Scripture as a “means of grace,” the freedom of admitting what they don't know, and the possibility of having conviction without certainty.  Show Notes → thebiblefornormalpeople.com/episodes/episode-338-the-brian-recker-and-tamice-spencer-helms-takeover Watch this episode on YouTube → https://youtu.be/gaZtio1Ue2I Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, we explore one of the most haunting lines from Kurt Cobain's suicide note: “Why don't you just enjoy it?” and the devastating response: “I don't know.” We unpack why human beings struggle to feel joy through the lenses of neuroscience, psychology, evolution, trauma, addiction, overstimulation, and modern culture. From dopamine and cortisol to loneliness, achievement addiction, and the pressure to perform happiness, this episode examines why so many people feel disconnected from their own lives — and what history, philosophy, pop culture, and human connection reveal about truly feeling alive.Topics include:Why the brain adapts to pleasure and noveltyThe difference between stimulation and fulfillmentTrauma, stress, and the nervous system's impact on joyEvolutionary reasons humans struggle with contentmentWhy modern life can make us spectators instead of participantsThe role of relationships, meaning, awe, and shared strugglePop culture references from Nirvana to Black Mirror to Ted LassoHow to reconnect with ordinary moments and meaningful experiencesWhat we might say to someone who can't “just enjoy it”Thrive With Leo Coaching: If you want to reduce your psychological pain, regain your purpose and forge your own path, go to www.thrivewithleo.com to begin your journey.If you or anyone you know is considering suicide or self-harm, or is anxious, depressed, upset, or needs to talk, there are people who want to help:In the US: Crisis Text Line: Text CRISIS to 741741 for free, confidential crisis counseling.

Send us Fan MailJay Brause and Gene Dugan met at the Alaska Gay Community Center in Anchorage in 1978. In 1979 Jay's father, a Lutheran minister, presided over their holy union at Joy Lutheran Church in Eagle River. In 1994 they attempted to register their marriage and were denied. This led to litigation that ultimately was decided in Jay and Gene's favor in 1996, but Alaska changed its constitution in 1998 to only recognize marriages between a man and a woman. They were legally married in Portland in 2004, but that marriage was nullified by Oregon shortly afterwards. In 2006, they got married in South Africa; in 2007 in the Yukon Territory; and finally, in 2015 they were legally married in Anchorage. Jay & Gene were instrumental in the LGBTQ rights movement in Anchorage for decades. Jay was responsible for changing the name of the Gay and Lesbian Center to Identity, the organization he served as the director of for many years. He was a researcher on the 1985 "One In Ten" study of LGB issues in Alaska and the 1989 "Identity Reports" discrimination study. Gene founded Out North in 1985 which is an award-winning progressive multidisciplinary arts organization that still has a footprint in Alaska. Jakob Dugan-Brause and Eugene Dugan-Brause (their names today) moved to the UK in 2006. This interview took place via Zoom from their home in Northern Ireland.Listen to previous episode with Jim Obergefell here.

What if everything you were told about midlife intimacy was wrong? Most of us were taught that once we hit our 40s and 50s, our sex life quietly fades and that's just the way it goes. Clinical sexologist Dr. Stacy Friedman says the real culprit isn't age at all. It's shame, and it has been running the show in far too many bedrooms for far too long. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Stacy, my very first expert guest on Comfort to Courage, to unpack where that shame comes from and how to break free of it. She explains why shame triggers a physical threat response that shuts arousal down, the difference between spontaneous and responsive desire, and why painful sex and erectile changes are among the most fixable issues she sees. You'll hear the story of a woman whose husband asked "where have you been these 30 years?" after she took one small, brave step, plus the simple opening line that gets the intimacy conversation started without pressure or blame. If you're in midlife, in a long-term relationship, or quietly wondering whether the spark is gone for good, this conversation is for you. Dr. Stacy brings clinical expertise, humor, and heart to a topic most people are too embarrassed to raise with their own doctor. You'll walk away with practical strategies to rebuild connection, reignite desire, and have better intimacy now than you did at 25. 5 Powerful Takeaways Shame is a physical threat response. Your cortisol rises and arousal shuts down because your body can't tell the difference between real danger and fear of being judged by the person you love. Low drive doesn't mean no desire. Understanding responsive desire lets you give arousal space to build instead of waiting to feel the way you did at 20. Break out of the "lips, nips, below the hips" routine. Exploring the whole body, touch, and a daily juicy kiss brings back the connection that intercourse alone never will. Open the conversation with connection, not complaints. "I miss feeling close to you" builds intimacy, while "why don't we have sex anymore?" shuts your partner down immediately. Painful sex and erectile changes are not a life sentence. They can point to hormone, heart, or thyroid issues, and they are some of the most fixable concerns when you stop staying silent and get support. 00:00 Courage Is Contagious Intro 01:30 Imposter Syndrome Reset 04:04 Meet Dr Stacey Friedman 07:21 Origins Of Purple Passion 10:04 Midlife Sex Myths 11:57 How Shame Shuts Desire 15:34 Hormones Pain And ED 18:13 Bedroom Strategies That Work 20:17 What Changes On The Other Side 23:33 How To Start The Talk 27:09 Courage Challenge 28:19 Badass Rapid Fire 34:48 Where To Find Dr Stacey 37:13 Final Takeaway And Outro About the Guest Dr. Stacy Friedman is a clinical sexologist, private intimacy advisor, and sex and intimacy coach with more than 26 years in the medical field and over 20 years focused specifically on sexuality.
