Podcasts about Garrard Conley

Good dystopian literature forces its readers to confront ideas of government, culture, community, and identity. This episode of the "Velshi Banned Book Club" will examine two of the most celebrated works of dystopian literature of all time: “The Giver” by Lois Lowry and “1984” by George Orwell. Both novels are staples in the American public education system, the dystopian literary canon, and they are among the most frequently challenged literary works. These books grow along with their readers – from elementary school with “The Giver” onto adulthood with “1984”. Today, perhaps more than ever, these books are necessary -- even critical -- to our collective futures.

Author Garrard Conley published his first book in 2016, "Boy Erased". The bestselling memoir, relaying Conley's experience undergoing conversion therapy at 19, inspired a major motion picture two years later. This hour, Conley discusses his newest book and his first foray into fiction. "All the World Beside" explores queerness in Puritan New England. Set in 1700s Massachusetts and inspired by Nathaniel Hawthorne's "The Scarlet Letter," an affair unfolds between Arthur Lyman, a physician, and Nathaniel Whitfield, a reverend.

Join Alex and guest host Dr. Lee Golembiewski as they discuss the harrowing true story of a young gay man enduring conversion therapy in the US South in Boy Erased (2018). The film stars Lucas Hedges as Jared, playing a version of Garrard Conley, who wrote a memoir of the same name in 2016, detailing his journey through conversion therapy in the early 2000s. The film also stars Russell Crowe as his pastor father, who ultimately made the decision to send Jared to the harmful Christian ministry, Nicole Kidman, as his mother, who makes a startling transformation during the film, and Joel Edgerton, who plays the ministry's lead "counselor" — Edgerton also directed and assisted in adapting the book into a screenplay. They explore the therapy's practices, religion and spirituality, acceptance, and harm done by these kinds of programs, that to this day, still exist in many parts of the US and the world, because of the view that anything different in sexuality and gender from the norm of cisheteronormativity is aberrant and must be corrected through spiritual healing. While the filmmaking is rough around the edges, the message and themes are powerful ones from a psychological perspective!

Garrard Conley's memoir Boy Erased chronicled his upbringing as a Baptist preacher's son and his experience being sent to conversion therapy. His new novel, All The World Beside, explores similar themes of faith, love and queer identity — but through the lens of a relationship between two men in Puritan New England. In today's episode, Conley speaks with NPR's Ari Shapiro about how fiction allowed him to actually provide even more autobiographical details than a memoir, and how writing this book grounded him in his relationship to Christianity.

Books that tell LGBTQ+ stories are banned at a disproportionately high rate. The first episode of Velshi Banned Book Club features two equally powerful and poignant novels that grapple with what it means to discover who you are and who you love. “Two Boys Kissing” by David Levithan masterfully weaves four separate narratives and a haunting Greek chorus of AIDS victims to tell a story of freedom, equality, intergenerational mobility, and community through a tender, coming-of-age lens. “Boy Erased” centers around author Garrard Conley's two-week treatment at a so-called conversion therapy center and explores the crucial role of family, understanding of religion, and, of course, identity. This episode features audio from various school board meetings across the nation including: Spotsylvania County Public Schools on November 8, 2021; Dearborn Public School District on October 10, 2022; Lake Travis Independent School District on September 17, 2021; and Hillsborough County Public Schools on February 10, 2022. 

Was bleibt, wenn einem alles genommen, wenn sogar die Identität ausradiert werden soll? Im sog. Bible Belt der USA: Ein Bekannter outet den 19-jährigen Garrard Conley gegen seinen Willen vor den Eltern als homosexuell. Seit Jahren schon kämpft Conley gegen die Scham, die ihm als einzigem Sohn eines Baptistenpredigers eingeimpft worden ist.

Tune in as Anya and Isabel (Book Expectations) hang out with Arthur for a deep dive into Daisy Jones & the Six, the 2019 historical fiction novel by Taylor Jenkins Reid (The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, Carrie Soto Is Back) about a ‘70s rock band that gives off Fleetwood Mac vibes. This makes sense, considering they had been a major inspiration for TJR during the writing of this book. The hosts' expectations for the upcoming Netflix series adaptation of TSHOEH, the pronunciation of “Rhysand” and “Feyre,” and the perks of listening to the audiobook version of DJ&TS are just a few of the topics that are brought up on this episode.

Gay conversion threapy er meðferð sem miðar að því að breyta kynhneigð og kynvitund fólks. Stutt var við rafstuðsmeðferð, dáleiðslu og heilaskurðlækningar til þess að tengja samkynhneigð við sársauka, veikindi og skömm. Meðferðin var studd af hinum eina sanna Trump árið 2016 og var Mike okkar Pens þar einnig í farabroddi. Við heyrum sögur af þeim Raymond Buys og Garrard Conley, mönnum sem upplifðu slíka meðferð og David Matheson, manni sem stofnaði og hélt uppi slíkum meðferðarbúðum í um 30 ár.  

In this AGL Story, which forms part of LGBT History Month here in the UK, we talk about conversion therapy. This is the story of Garrard Conley which he titled Boy Erased. Many people consider gay conversion therapy to be a thing of the past but for many it is still very much present and 1,000s of people are still subjected to this barbaric treatment every year. Together we can continue to share this story so that we can help bring an end to this, and so hopefully one day no one else has to endure gay conversion therapy ever again. AGL Stories is here to bring a voice to crimes and stories of all types that have involved the LGBTQ+ community. Listen along with us and check out our website at www.allgaylong.com.

This episode we discuss the book Boy Erased: A Memoir by Gerard Conley, with our outstanding guest, the musician Adaline. This episode comes with a trigger warning as it discusses religious trauma and conversion therapy. The son of a Baptist pastor and deeply embedded in church life in small town Arkansas, as a young man Garrard Conley was terrified and conflicted about his sexuality. When Garrard was a nineteen-year-old college student, he was outed to his parents, and was forced to make a life-changing decision: either agree to attend a church-supported conversion therapy program that promised to “cure” him of homosexuality; or risk losing family, friends, and the God he had prayed to every day of his life. Through an institutionalized Twelve-Step Program heavy on Bible study, he was supposed to emerge heterosexual, ex-gay, cleansed of impure urges and stronger in his faith in God for his brush with sin. Instead, even when faced with a harrowing and brutal journey, Garrard found the strength and understanding to break out in search of his true self and forgiveness. Adaline also hosts a podcast called Bad Believers in which people on the queer spectrum explore and challenge traditional religious views. Her experience as a queer person and the daughter of pastor gave her a unique perspective when discussing the book. Intro and outro music is an original song by Kansas City based queer musician Nicole Springer.Adaline - webpage: adalinemusic.com, Instagram and Twitter: @Adalinemusic and @BadBelieverPodcast on Instagram and @BadBeliever_ on TwitterMusic by Nicole Springer - webpage nicolespringersings.com, Facebook: Nicole Springer, and Instagram: @nicolespringersings As always Big Queer Book Club Podcast can be found on Instagram: @bigqueerbookclubpod, Twitter: @bookqueer, Facebook: Big Queer Book Club Podcast

O episódio 33 do Fora do Meio fecha a "trilogia de se entender" de forma intensa. Enquanto os episódios anteriores focaram nas bases científicas e sociais que afetam a construção da sexualidade do indivídio, este capítulo final aborda as consequências desse peso que a sociedade impõe sobre a não heterossexualidade e a saída apresentada para corrigir esse rumo: as terapias de reorientação sexual, popularmente conhecidas como cura gay. Neste episódio, Fernando recebe três convidados que vivenciaram essa experiência e podem falar com propriedade sobre os efeitos e consequências que essas práticas tiveram em suas vidas. Além da terapia, outro ponto une os três convidados: a religião. Carlos, psicólogo e fundador do "Divã Colorido", Thales, host do Conflictu Podcast e Eduardo Palmeira dividem seus relatos de forma sincera e muito aberta sobre a suas buscas por se tornarem héteros. Apesar de não ser uma prática com bases científicas e ser reconhecida pelo Conselho de Psicologia, a "cura gay" é uma constante na vida da população LGBTQIA+ e quando o fundamentalismo religioso caminha com o pensamento de que sexualidade é uma condição, isso se torna ainda mais perigoso. A história contada neste episódio busca permitir que as pessoas entendam a abordagem, o pensamento por trás dessa terapia e as marcas que ela deixa no indivíduo. Baseado nas discussões dos episódios anteriores, será mesmo que é possível alguém deixar de ser LGBTQIA+? Se Joga! Boy Erased: Uma verdade anulada (2019) - Livro de Garrard Conley.

My conversation with Kashif Andrew Graham ebbs and flows through his experience of coming out to his pentecostal family and friends, as well as institutions here in the south. In what he refers to as his "deliverance years," Kashif has gone from praying that God would change his sexuality to thanking God for being gay. His story is one of moving away from shame and into acceptance, with strong doses of reality that are refreshingly punctuated by laughter. As a librarian for religion and theology at Vanderbilt University's Divinity Library, Kashif carries a reverence for the written word. He reminded me of that old adage, that you are what you read. And he shares with us the story of how the small but powerful gesture of handing a book to someone at just the right moment has the power to change us at our core. Kashif identifies as a queer Jamaican American, with the gender pronouns he/him/his. Find Kashif on Instagram, @kashifandrewgraham And follow his poetry on Instagram, @kagwrites For Reflection: Have you ever needed to be delivered from a belief that was harmful to you, and how did that unfold?

Based on a memoir by Garrard Conley, the film stars Lucas Hedges, Nicole Kidman, Russell Crowe and Troye Sivan, and tells the story of the son of devout Baptist parents who is forced to take part in a gay conversion therapy program. Boy Erased is scored by Danny Bensi and Saunder Jurriaans, who also collaborated with Joel on his directorial debut, The Gift. At Joel's behest, it's a nuanced affair, hinting at the darker themes of the movie without ever over-stating them. They also make great use of choral voices. We should mention that Joel and Edith discuss a key plot detail during the course of the interview, so if you're planning to see the film, you might want to hold fire before listening to this ...

Boy Erased, starring Lucas Hedges, Nicole Kidman, Russell Crowe, and Joel Edgerton, explores the story of the son of a Baptist preacher is forced to participate in a church-supported gay conversion program after being forcibly outed to his parents. Based on the memori and true story of Garrard Conley, the film takes us on the…

This is a modern day story of Job. It starts with Garrard Conley, a young gay kid growing up in rural Arkansas, trying to find a place to stand between a devout father and unforgiving God, and ends in a dramatic escape from an ex-gay camp and the smuggling out of a book that overturns an industry.

The film, adapted from Garrard Conley’s memoir, is both efficient and effective. What I liked best about Boy Erased is that the film is driven by empathy. There are no outsized villains here – even Victor Sykes, played nicely by Edgerton himself, the bulldozer who runs the therapy program, has texture.

On this episode of Movie Trailer Reviews, we welcome Ro to the MTR Network family as she joins Kriss & Brandon to review Boy Erased. This film is based off the memoirs of Garrard Conley and tells his struggles growing up as a gay child in a Christian fundamentalist household after he's outted to his parents. While the film is good, what keeps it from being great are underdeveloped supporting characters and not delving deep enough into just how terrible the lead character's parents and the camps were. When dealing with a sensitive subject matter, it can be difficult to find where they line is so that the film doesn't go into torture porn (*cough* Detroit *cough*). The flip side to that is that not really getting into and addressing how terrible something is can sanitize the story. In Boy Erased, director Joel Edgerton made a deliberate choice to try to not paint Jared's parents as evil when they do evil things to this young man. Again, the film is good...but we can't help but think of how good the film could have been.

Author Garrard Conley sits down with Cameron to discuss his memoir turned major motion picture Boy Erased, his experience with conversion therapy, and the new podcast UnErased. This episode is sponsored by Wildfang (www.wildfang.com code: QUEERY), Daily Harvest (www.daily-harvest.com code: QUEERY), and Helix Sleep (www.helixsleep.com/QUEERY).

This is a good episode to notate directly from the supporting text.  Please enjoy this week's full issue of The Culture Translator, email newsletter edition.  ----------------------------------------------- Three Things This Week 1. Boy Erased What it is: Based on Garrard Conley’s memoir, this new movie tells the tragic story of the son of a Baptist preacher forced into gay conversion therapy. Why it's challenging: Especially for Christians, the movie asks some tough questions: How should I react if my son/daughter is same-sex attracted? How do I model the love of God while calling my child to pursue purity? Why does pop culture portray the church as an unsafe place for LGBT+ teens? How does your church respond to LBGT+ individuals? Luckily, Lead Them Home ministries has a movie kit to help you navigate this conversation with your teens. Following Jesus means living as He lived, and that is often uncomfortable. He always moved toward the outsider, included the marginalized, and embraced the outcastwhile calling them to repentance. May we learn to do likewise as we seek to embody Christ to our LGBT+ friends and family in a way that transforms us all. (BTW, Timothée Chalamet is the newest teen heartthrob actor, and his new interview—language—by fellow heartthrob Harry Styles is illuminating.)   2. Instagram > Snapchat What it is: According to new research, Instagram now tops Snapchat as the most used app among teens. Why it makes sense: 85% of teens say they use Instagram at least once a month, and the company reported 1 billion monthly users back in June. Crazy. Interestingly enough, Silicon Valley parents seem obsessed with keeping their children from the very devices and platforms they’ve created, as one former Facebook employee states, “I am convinced the devil lives in our phones.” Is she right? Image-based apps can feed compulsive behavior by targeting three key developmental needs in teens: socialization, significance, and the longing to be heard. And when the app fails to fulfill these desires, it fuels feelings of isolation, unworthiness, and neglect. 3. #NoP*rnovember What it is: Fight the New Drug has released a new Conversation Blueprint in order to help us all start conversations about the effects of p*rn this November. Why it’s what we all need: Whether your loved one has never seen p*rnography or is deeply addicted, this tool aims to help you in your specific situation and offer helpful tips, practical advice, and a framework for beginning this difficult conversation. With the ability to customize things like who you’d like to talk to and why you want to talk them (including confessing your own p*rn habits or addiction), the Blueprint is thorough, easy to use, full of resources, and tailored for you. Now’s the time to talk about this plight on our hearts and minds, and with the Blueprint, you can be better prepared than ever. Also, check out their upcoming documentary Brain. Heart. World.   Shame on You You’ve felt it. Your kids have felt it. We’ve felt it. That gut-wrenching feeling of utter unworthiness due to something you’ve said or done: a bad grade, losing your temper with your kids, being overweight, getting unfriended on Facebook, etc. (Did you feel it just from reading the title of this article?) Shame attacks your very identity, whispering lies that you aren’t enough, you don’t measure up, and you’ll never get it right. Where guilt can be helpful as a catalyst for change, shame engenders despair and hopelessness. As Christians, the key to overcoming shame lies in our ability to trust in God’s inherent goodness. But, like Adam and Eve, when we sin, our inclination is to run and hide or play the blame game. Why? Because we struggle to believe in God’s radical mercy. Instead of “original sin,” we could simply call this primordial reaction “original shame.” Fortunately, when we look deeper into the creation narrative, we see at the center of the story a nurturing, gentle Father who doesn’t amplify shame, but instead sews garments to heal and remove Adam and Eve’s shame. It’s one of the most beautiful and overlooked passages in all of Scripture. The next time your teen disappoints you, fails, or just willfully disobeys, pause and ask yourself how you can respond to their behavior in a manner that encourages confession and true change instead of humiliation. And in those tough moments, do your best to remember shame breeds destruction while mercy leads to transformation. To help you, we’ve created a Parent’s Guide to Shame-Free Parenting. It’s a practical tool to help you identify and eliminate shame from your home and disciplinary methods.

This is a modern day story of Job.

Director Joel Edgerton discusses his film, Boy Erased, with fellow director Gavin O'Connor. Based on the memoir of the same name by Garrard Conley, the film tells the true coming of age and coming out story of Jared, who is viciously outed to his parents. Pressured into attending a church-supported gay conversion program, he butts heads with its head therapist and begins to find his own voice and accept his true self.

This Halloween week writer and critic Alicia Lutes joins me to dissect some of the new horror hits on film and TV. We cover Jaime Lee Curtis' return for her final confrontation with Michael Myers in ‘Halloween’, Luca Guadagnino's reboot of Dario Argento’s ‘Suspiria' and the Netflix hits ‘Chilling Adventures of Sabrina’ and ‘The Haunting of Hill House’. PLUS This week marks the US premiere of  ‘Boy Erased' starring Nicole Kidman, Russell Crowe and Lucas Hedges. We revisit our interview with Garrard Conley, author of the memoir 'Boy Erased’, and survivor of gay conversion therapy.

In presa diretta da Los Angeles, la McMusa fa parlare l'America: i suoi suoni, le sue contraddizioni, le sue storie più vere. Tra cui quella potente e toccante di Garrard Conley, autore dell'ultimo libro di Black Coffee "Boy Erased - Vite cancellate", tra poco nei cinema. Preziosi contributi di Donald Trump, Sean Penn e altri importanti personaggi di Hollywood. Questa puntata è stata registrata a Silver Lake e a Echo Park, due quartieri di Los Angeles. La sigla è Drunken Rollers, la musica di Meydn.

Garrard Conley, author of Boy Erased and activist, joined us to talk about his experience with gay conversion therapy and what it’s like to have a painful part of his past turned into a feature film. We had SO MUCH to talk about, starting with our collective rage about the Kavanaugh hearings and the high standards we (society) measure victims/survivors against. After twenty minutes of therapeutically channeling our rage, we move onto a just-as-heavy topic: Gay Conversion Therapy! First, we talk about some of the differences between the upcoming motion picture and his memoir. Then, we dive into casting, from his parents getting played by academy award-winning Aussies, to the challenges of casting LGBTQ roles. From there, we go into the dangers of conversion therapy and what battles still need to be fought, as well as where  progress is being made…and so much more. Despite the dark topic, we managed to have SO MUCH fun on this episode (because we might all be dead inside)! Probably too much fun because we had to edit out at least 15 minutes where we took things a little too far. We end it with a question from a Canadian listener who is fresh out of the closet. Buy and read Boy Erased, and then see it in theaters. Or the other way around, whichever. #RepresentationMatters #TellQueerStories -Keep the podcast a-lez and gay by donating to our Patreon, where you can get some sapphic swag. -For related content, follow us on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Leave Us a Review if you like what you hear! -Like our theme song?

Episode 114: “Boy Erased” Garrard Conley by Pop Culture Confidential

Mindfulness coach, teacher, writer and warrior in spirit, Jay Tepley brings us this week's 'Writer's Routine'!For Jay, everything in the world is energy, and because of this, everything is interconnected and the realisation of this can give humans the closest thing to superpowers. It allows her to see through time, talk to the dead, interact with the inanimate, and she teaches these tricks of extended perception in her 'Ariya Mind Training' programme.Her book 'The Lightwatch Chronicles: The Guardians', is a book designed to awaken these powers within those who have them. It's a fantasy epic, in line with The Lord of the Rings and Star Wars, about a group of 'Stars' searching for a lost member of their team and becoming stranded on Earth in the chase. We talk about how the story just appeared to her and be commanded to be put down on paper. Also you can hear the mental blueprint that she made to get it published, and how she packed such grand ideas about the Universe into a 200-odd page fantasy novel.And, we get a top writing tip from Garrard Conley about how the secret to telling a good story, is reading more of them.NB - Levels are a bit off during the actual interview, can't be helped I'm afraid, the recording was a bit too quiet.

This week we take a skim through the daily diary of Garrard Conley! Garrard's memoir 'Boy Erased' has just been released in the UK, it's critically acclaimed in the USA and will be released as a film starring Nicole Kidman and Russell Crowe later in 2018. It tells the story of how he escaped gay conversion therapy, after being outed to his Baptist parents and given an ultimatum to change, or to leave. It's an incredible conversation as Garrard, thankfully, completely gets and is fascinated by the whole point of the show! We talk about how he relived those harrowing experiences to write it down in memoir, how he knew which parts of his past to exploit for the audience, and the curious focusing tasks he uses to get in the 'writing zone'.We've done something different with this show too. Normally I will, quite forensically, edit our chats with authors, but it just seemed wrong for this. Who was I to decide which part of Garrard's story we should hear? It's all mind-blowing, shocking and - most importantly for us - full of top tips to help you get writing.@writerspodwritersroutine.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The Night Language (Rare Bird Books) The Night Language tells the story of a young man, Prince Alamayou of Abyssinia (present day Ethiopia), who is taken from his home and the Abyssinian war to the court of Queen Victoria—a world he knows nothing about. With him is Philip Layard, a young apprentice to one of the doctors on the battlefield in Abyssinia, who becomes Alamayou's guardian, only friend, and eventually, the love of his life. When Parliament accuses Alamayou of murder, the young prince is sentenced to return to Abyssinia, where he will be executed. His only hope comes from the very thing that cannot be uttered: the unexpected and forbidden love between Alamayou and Philip. Inspired by true events, The Night Language is a unique novel of love, loss, and the consequences of repressive societies. Praise for The Night Language "The Night Language is a rare achievement: lush language and classic storytelling with a contemporary feel that renders its history palpable. It is also a love letter to the artist, the outcast, the othered. Keep it by your bedside, read it in the early hours—it will not fail to inspire you."—Garrard Conley, author of Boy Erased"Not since Michael Ondaatje’s The English Patient have I read a novel in which a character—the story and skinsong of Alamayou—has haunted language, history, and heart so intensely. David Rocklin's novel The Night Language is a book of longing. Longing for history to unravel and retell itself around those whose buried voices and bodies truly mattered, longing for time to reverse and make decolonization possible, power giving way to intimacy, longing for art to bring a body back home, longing for language to unmoor itself and bring us back to life. If you read one novel this year, let it be The Night Language. It is still possible for a reader’s heart to be broken back open." —Lidia Yuknavitch, author of The Book of Joan, The Small Backs of Children, and The Chronology of Water"The Night Language is a postcard sent from a lost time and place but postmarked today. As he surveys the crisscross borders of gender and race in a troubled past, David Rocklin draws a line around the heart of our troubled present: the price of war, the privilege of wealth, the poison of xenophobia. Also: the wordless power of love. The shadows of two black men, an African prince and a British apprentice, dance together out of a forgotten history right into the here and now."—Martin Pousson, author of Black Sheep Boy David Rocklin is the author of The Luminist and the founder/curator of Roar Shack, a monthly reading series in Los Angeles. He was born and raised in Chicago and now lives in LA with his wife, daughters, and a 150 lb Great Dane who seriously needs to stay on his own bed. He’s currently at work on his next novel, The Electric Love Song of Fleischl Berger.
