Throughout her chapter, she asserts that marriage equality marks a departure from “biblical” or “traditional” marriage, from a model of marriage that has decisively shaped the Christian West from the time of Jesus and before, and that it should therefore be resisted at all costs. As Dan argues in this episode, the problem with this view is that it simply isn't true. There has never been a clear, unequivocal “biblical” view on marriage, and understandings of marriage within the Christian tradition have evolved and changed from the time of Christ right up to the present day. Listen in to hear more about this, and why this matters for confronting the anti-LGBTQ+ agenda of Stuckey and those on the religious and cultural right.

Outward is going on a little summer break, in the meantime we're leaving you with a delightfully queer episode of Slate's Hit Parade with Chris Molanphy: Little Richard was rock ‘n' roll's flamboyant architect. Lesley Gore sang that no one owned her. Sylvester was a gender-fluid icon who helped define disco. Freddie Mercury made rock operatic, and George Michael demanded freedom. What all of these LGBTQ artists had in common was bold hitmaking—and fear of being fully out of the closet. For decades, queer acts topped the charts while cloaking their true identities and paving the way for today's more openly queer stars. For Pride Month, join Chris Molanphy as he traces the hidden history of queer hitmakers on the charts—including those that managed to be both out and No. 1, right up through our modern age of Lil Nas X and Chappell Roan. It's a celebration of these artists' quest to feel… mighty real. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Liam's story isn't just about transition—it's about guts, grace, and finding your truth. In this episode, he opens up to Colton about what it really feels like to live with gender dysphoria, the messy beauty of coming out, and the rollercoaster of medical steps that shaped his journey from female to male. We talk about the heartbreak and healing that comes with self-discovery, the power of having the right people in your corner, and how social media became both a lifeline and a megaphone for his story. Liam also drops some real talk for healthcare pros on what true support for trans folks should look like. >>More Than a Transition: Liam Lazore on Truth, Transformation & Living AuthenticallyJump Ahead to Listen:[00:02:20] Transgender experiences in healthcare.[00:05:20] Understanding childhood gender identity.[00:09:06] Coming out experiences.[00:12:01] Transitioning process overview.[00:14:13] Transitioning while in college.[00:19:40] Social media and mental health.[00:22:34] Positive experiences with surgeons.[00:26:12] Fitness journey and body image.[00:29:15] Importance of patience in growth.Connect with Colton on social media:Instagram: @coltonalanlord, @nursedaddiesTikTok: @nursedaddiesConnect with Liam on social media:Instagram: @liamlazoreTikTok: @liamlaz23For more information, full transcript and videos visit Nurse.org/podcastJoin our newsletter at nurse.org/joinInstagram: @nurse_orgTikTok: @nurse.orgFacebook: @nurse.orgYouTube: Nurse.org

John West, Vice President of the Discovery Institute, joins the show to talk his new book Stockholm Syndrome Christianity. West argues that many Christian leaders and institutions are adopting secularist views and facilitating cultural decline. He cites examples like Andy Stanley's rejection of the Old Testament and Francis Collins's support for LGBTQ+ rights and abortion-related research.   Dr. John West is Vice President and a Senior Fellow at the Seattle-based Discovery Institute, where he also serves as Managing Director of the Institute's Center for Science & Culture, which he co-founded with philosopher of science Stephen Meyer in 1996. His current research examines the impact of science and “scientism” on public policy and culture. His other areas of expertise include constitutional law, American government and institutions, and religion and politics.   Learn more about John G.

Get ready for Part 2 of my set from The Cuff on June 29th at Seattle Pride. This is the back half of my closing set on Sunday night with the most wonderful crowd a DJ could ask for. I pulled out my remix of "Brave" by Sara Bareilles, which I haven't played in 8 years. And I took a bit of a risk by ending the night with the full 1998 Extended Pride Remix by Junior Vasquez of Cyndi Lauper's "True Colors" - this remix has meant so much to me over the years, but I've never played it live. With Cyndi's farewell tour happening this summer, it felt like the right moment. The remix starts out high energy before slowing down tempo and dropping into the original song, before building back up again to its crazed crescendo... it gives folks that romantic moment at the end of the night to slow dance and reflect on what Pride might mean to them. It's a moment that always resonated powerfully with me when I heard this track on many NYC Pride weekends and I wanted to share this moment - a part of Junior's legacy (the set also features his "Rocketman" Arena anthem) - with a new generation.  And then, of course, the set ends with the ending track of all ending tracks... as the last dance of the night. Next up... my full set from Purgatory at Gifford House in Provincetown on July 3rd!

Love in the Lav series. Episode #4 of 4. The late 1920s birthed what would become a defining cultural phenomenon—the "pansy craze"—when LGBTQ+ culture burst into mainstream American entertainment from the late 1920s through the early 1930s. The smoky haze of Prohibition-era speakeasies provided the perfect backdrop for drag queens, called "pansy performers,” to be catapulted into underground stardom, with major cities like New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Miami serving as epicenters of this unprecedented visibility and acceptance. As illegal liquor flowed freely, patrons witnessed titillating new performances by gender nonconforming entertainers that challenged social conventions. Elaborate gowns and carefully applied makeup caught the dim lights as "pansies" mesmerized audiences with their wit, sensuality, and gender rebellion.

As Jim noted to begin this broadcast, we live in a time where good is considered evil and evil is considered good. In fact, the prophet Isaiah gave a troubling woe to those who take that position. The Bible also tells us that parents, particularly fathers, are to raise their children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. In spite of that, the United Nations seeks to usurp that mandate to instead, raise your children in the ways of the world for what they deem, the global good. Joining Jim to discuss this continuing trend was Alex Newman. Alex is an award-winning international freelance journalist, author, researcher, educator and consultant. He is senior editor for The New American. Alex described how the U.N. is particularly upset with the U.S. because even though we've signed on to most international treaties, agreements and conventions, they've noted through an investigation that the 10th Amendment to the constitution is problematic for them because a lot of power over education is still controlled by state and local authorities. This means the U.S. federal government can't simply enforce the U.N.'s agenda for more LGBTQ, DEI, etc. on public schools. In the U.N.'s report, released during their 59th session of the Human Rights Council on June 16th-July 11th, they said that the aim of their U.S. investigation was to, "...gather firsthand information on the provision and enjoyment of the right to free quality and inclusive education for all and to engage in a dialogue with and offer recommendations to the government and other stakeholders in this regard."

He gathered the lost, the lonely, the grieving—and turned their need for kindness into a nightmare. A trusted figure, a secret obsession, and a trail of bodies flushed down London's drains.Between 1978 and 1983, Dennis Nilsen—known as the Muswell Hill Murderer—lured dozens of vulnerable young men, many of them gay and homeless, into his North London flats. What began as offers of shelter, company, even a date, devolved into strangulation, necrophilia, and gruesome rituals of dissection and disposal. In Part 2, we follow the chilling unraveling of Nilsen's double life: the domestic facade, the mounting odor beneath floorboards, and his tril. As we peel back layers of homophobia, isolation, and queerness twisted into violence, we confront how society failed its queer and queer-adjacent victims in this unsolved LGBTQ+ mystery.Hosted by Jordi and Brad, Beers With Queers brings chilling crimes, queer stories, and twisted justice to light, all with a cold one in hand. Press play, grab a drink, and join us as we uncover the darkest corners of LGBTQ+ history.

Socialist Subjectivities: Queering East Germany under Honecker (University of Michigan Press, 2025) works within the logics of queer time to reanimate East German subjectivities in the 1970s and 1980s beyond the narrative of the German Democratic Republic's long march towards demise. While East Germany certainly ended in dissolution, not all East Germans experienced late socialism in a singular manner. Rather, even after a generation of building socialism, East Germans under Honecker continued to pursue a range of socialist presents and a multiplicity of socialist futures up to and beyond 1989. This edited volume utilizes queer temporalities to interrogate how individuals lived non-normative possibilities in a highly normative world. Whether one was an apparatchik, artist, or alcoholic, the everyday interactions, experiences, and rituals of late socialism proved crucial to establishing the conditions around which subjecthood was constructed. Despite stereotypes of apathy and inertia, East Germans lent a considerable dynamism to their society, and by generating a cacophony of opinions and a heterogeneity of ideas, they constantly transformed state socialism. By foregrounding socialist subjects and the iterative nature of socialism during these decades, this volume paints a richer portrait of East Germany—one that illuminates how East Germans imagined their futures in a society whose collapse they could not foresee.

Family, this is your favorite queer radio personality Anna DeShawn and you're listening to Queer News, your weekly pod where race & sexuality meet politics, culture, and entertainment. Only on E3 Radio. This week, I'm coming to you with a heart full of gratitude and a story full of hope. Amidst a chaotic week caring for my family, a bright moment stopped me in my tracks: Lambda Legal won a massive legal victory that restored $6.2 million in funding to LGBTQ+ and HIV organizations. I knew we had to talk about it. So I sat down with Jose Abrigo, Lambda's HIV Project Director, to break it all down. Because even when the world feels heavy, there's still good news worth celebrating. Want to support this podcast?

As Jim noted to begin this broadcast, we live in a time where good is considered evil and evil is considered good. In fact, the prophet Isaiah gave a troubling woe to those who take that position. The Bible also tells us that parents, particularly fathers, are to raise their children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. In spite of that, the United Nations seeks to usurp that mandate to instead, raise your children in the ways of the world for what they deem, the global good. Joining Jim to discuss this continuing trend was Alex Newman. Alex is an award-winning international freelance journalist, author, researcher, educator and consultant. He is senior editor for The New American. Alex described how the U.N. is particularly upset with the U.S. because even though we've signed on to most international treaties, agreements and conventions, they've noted through an investigation that the 10th Amendment to the constitution is problematic for them because a lot of power over education is still controlled by state and local authorities. This means the U.S. federal government can't simply enforce the U.N.'s agenda for more LGBTQ, DEI, etc. on public schools. In the U.N.'s report, released during their 59th session of the Human Rights Council on June 16th-July 11th, they said that the aim of their U.S. investigation was to, "...gather firsthand information on the provision and enjoyment of the right to free quality and inclusive education for all and to engage in a dialogue with and offer recommendations to the government and other stakeholders in this regard."

In this case, the court considered this issue: Do public schools burden parents' religious exercise when they compel elementary school children to participate in instruction on gender and sexuality against their parents' religious convictions and without notice or opportunity to opt out?The case was decided on June 27, 2025The Supreme Court held that Parents challenging the Montgomery County Board of Education's introduction of certain “LGBTQ+-inclusive” storybooks, along with the Board's decision to withhold parental opt outs from that instruction, are entitled to a preliminary injunction because the policy poses “a very real threat of undermining” the religious beliefs and practices parents wish to instill. Justice Samuel Alito authored the 6-3 majority opinion of the Court.The Montgomery County Board of Education introduced LGBTQ+-inclusive storybooks into its elementary school English curriculum and initially allowed parents to opt their children out of related instruction. When the Board rescinded this opt-out policy, citing administrative burdens and concerns about classroom disruption, parents from diverse religious backgrounds sued. The Court applied the principle from Wisconsin v Yoder that government policies violate parents' free exercise rights when they “substantially interfere with the religious development” of children by placing them in environments “hostile” to their religious beliefs with “pressure to conform” to contrary viewpoints. The storybooks present normative messages about same-sex marriage and gender identity that directly contradict the religious teachings these parents seek to instill. Combined with teacher guidance that encourages specific responses reinforcing these viewpoints, the curriculum creates precisely the kind of “objective danger to the free exercise of religion” that the First Amendment prohibits.When a burden on religious exercise matches the character found in Yoder—substantial interference with parents' ability to guide their children's religious development—strict scrutiny applies regardless of whether the policy is neutral and generally applicable. While schools have a compelling interest in maintaining an undisrupted educational environment, the Board's no-opt-out policy fails narrow tailoring. The Board continues to permit opt-outs for other curricula, including family life and human sexuality instruction, and provides parallel programming for other student populations. The Board cannot create administrative burdens through its own curriculum design choices and then cite those burdens to justify denying constitutional rights. The availability of private school or homeschooling does not cure the constitutional violation, as public education is a public benefit that cannot be conditioned on surrendering religious exercise rights.Justice Clarence Thomas authored a concurring opinion arguing that the Board's policy represents an impermissible attempt at ideological conformity comparable to that rejected in Pierce v Society of Sisters, and that sex education for young children lacks the historical pedigree necessary to override parents' fundamental rights.Justice Sonia Sotomayor authored a dissenting opinion, joined by Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson, arguing that mere exposure to ideas conflicting with religious beliefs does not constitute a Free Exercise violation under established precedent, and warning that the majority's ruling will create administrative chaos for public schools while effectively granting religious parents a veto over curricular decisions traditionally left to democratically elected school boards.The opinion is presented here in its entirety, but with citations omitted.

All eyes are on Texas as the state's legislature is set to convene for a special session that will likely be dominated by one agenda item: President Trump's demand to redraw the state's congressional maps. Former Texas congressman Colin Allred joins The Weekend to discuss the implications this could have on the midterms. And, as extreme flooding hits many parts of the nation, the Trump administration shut down a federal website that presented congressionally mandated reports and research on climate change. Representative Eric Sorensen, the only meteorologist in the U.S. Congress, joins The Weekend to explain how these budget cuts could make it more difficult to predict storms. Plus, Emmy-winning actor Jim Parsons joins The Weekend to discuss “Reclaim The Flag,” a new documentary which unpacks the LGBTQ+ community's relationship with the American flag and examines how it can be reclaimed as a symbol of unity for all Americans. 

Maurice – or Melissa, as they sometimes introduced themselves – was 22 when they were shot and killed in Phoenix, Arizona. They were just starting to build a name for themselves as a performer, making it to the regional final for American Idol and acting in dozens of local productions, including The Wiz, Westside Story, and Alice in Wonderland. But the curtain fell too soon…According to friends and family, gender identity was fluid for Maurice. They sometimes presented as femme and went by Melissa, as they did the night of the shooting. This led both LGBTQ+ activists and local officials to fear that maybe this was a hate crime. Maybe… But investigators have struggled to pin down a definitive motive – and the killer.If you have any information at all about the murder of Maurice Dupree Green, also known as Melissa, in March of 2006, please come forward.
