Today marks the start of Pride month across Canada. Today at 9 Wing Gander, the military was scheduled to raise the Pride flag, in support of the LGBT community. It's an important step for an organization that has not always been accepting of anyone who was gay, bisexual or transgender in the Forces. Gregory Lick is the Ombudsman for the Department of National Defense and the Canadian Armed Forces. He was preparing to part in the flag raising ceremony.
Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men are increasingly finding sexual partners through apps such as Grindr. These apps haven't just changed the way people find partners, though, they've also changed queer men and gay culture in major ways, some of which have been positive, while others have been negative. So let's talk about the good, bad, and ugly of gay hookup apps. I am joined once again by Zachary Zane, a Brooklyn-based sex writer. He is the sex and relationship columnist for Men's Health, where he writes Sexplain It. He is the co-author of the book Men's Health: Best. Sex. Ever. Zach's latest book is titled Boyslut: A Memoir and Manifesto. Some of the topics we discuss include: How are apps like Grindr different from apps that cater more to a heterosexual audience, like Tinder? What are some of the ways in which these apps have had positive effects on queer men and the gay community? Did Grindr really kill the gay bar? Do hookup apps make it easier to get the kind of sex you want? How can we reduce toxic behavior on hookup apps? How can individuals use these apps in healthy ways that don't take a toll on their mental health? Content advisory: This episode contains very frank discussion of sexual matters.

Ireland's 2015 Marriage Equality referendum is often framed as an incredible achievement just twenty years after sex between men was decriminalized (1993). But starting the story of gay and lesbian rights in Ireland in 1993 is misleading; the work and roots of the major reforms of the 1990s and twenty-first century are in the 1970s, when gay and lesbian activists formed organizations, lobbied for legislative change, and, perhaps most importantly, engaged in the essential work of shifting public perception of same-sex love. In his 2021 book Gay and Lesbian Activism in the Republic of Ireland, 1973-1993, Patrick McDonagh chronicles the work of the groups and individuals who helped shape Ireland into the state it is today. Join us as we chat about the isolation of being gay in a conservative Catholic nation, the fortitude of Ireland's gay and lesbian groups, and the revolutionary possibilities of Saturday night discos.

It's got tens of thousands of members who play right around the world. In fact, with more than 70 global tournaments each year, the Gay and Lesbian Tennis Alliance may well be the biggest tennis organisation that you've never heard of. Daniel Merrithew is the GLTA'S President and Commissioner – in fact, he's been in that role longer than anyone else who before him. It's a role that takes him across the world, dropping in on the dozens of clubs who are members – and it was Dan's own experiences in tennis that got him involved in the first place. So, we get into all of that on the podcast – Daniel's journey in tennis, the changes he's seen in the sport, the difference the GLTA has made, Pride Days at the Grand Slams and so much more, all on this episode which we think you're going to love!

On 24 June 1978 Sydney's gay and lesbian community demonstrated in opposition to the prejudice and discrimination they experienced. By the end of 2017 marriage equality was legal. This would have been unthinkable in 1978. How has this shift in Australian attitudes affected the annual Sydney Mardi Gras? - Pada 24 Juni 1978 komunitas gay dan lesbian Sydney berdemonstrasi menentang prasangka dan diskriminasi yang mereka alami. Pada akhir tahun 2017 kesetaraan pernikahan adalah sah. Hal yang tidak terpikirkan pada tahun 1978. Bagaimana perubahan sikap Australia ini mempengaruhi acara tahunan Sydney Mardi Gras?
A panel discussion detailing the experiences of those living at the intersection of being both Indigenous and part of the LGBTQIA+ community.
A panel discussion detailing the experiences of those living at the intersection of being both Indigenous and part of the LGBTQIA+ community.
In an explosion of colour, the Mardi Gras spectacle is held each year to bring the community together no matter what their sexual or gender identity may be.
It was founded in 1989 by a group of clubs in Germany and the Netherlands. And in the three decades that have passed since then, the European Gay and Lesbian Sport Federation has grown into a body that represents more than 22,000 members from right across the continent. The goal is simple – to represent all athletes in Europe, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity, and to help administer the EuroGames event as well. Sarah Townsend and Hugh Torrance are the co-presidents of the EGLSF, and are two cracking guests to have on the show to tell us all about the Federation's work. We chat about their respective journeys in sport; how they got involved with the EGLSF ; running EuroGames; keeping going during COVID; the work being done by EGLSF; and so much more. Two brilliant guests on one superb episode – and we think you're really going to like it.

Really didn't need a funky title for this one, as it kinda speaks for itself. But yes, we were surprised and tickled to discover that in the early 2000's, in protest to Australia's laws regarding same sex marriage, a group of Gay activists broke off from Australia, claimed a tropical Island as compensation for discrimination, declared themselves a Nation for Queer Folk the globe over and then declared War on the Australian government. We present to you The Gay and Lesbian Kingdom of the Coral Sea IslandsThe Truth is Queerer than fiction :)It was such a fabulous story it had to be told.

Since 1992, the International Gay and Lesbian Football Association has been working to promote and grow LGBTQ+ soccer around the world. More than 100 teams and clubs have played in their competitions over the years – and just a short time ago, at the Compete Sports Diversity Summit in Arizona, we found out about their latest one. The announcement confirmed that the IGLFA World Championships will be coming to Buenos Aires in 2024, with the full support of the Argentine Football Association. It's a big moment for IGLFA to get the backing of a national body like the AFA – and on this special episode of the podcast, you'll hear from two of the people responsible for making it happen. Up first, it's IGLFA president Gus Penaranda - who gives us a fascinating insight into his love of soccer, his experiences in the game, and the hard work that has gone into making this tournament happen. And after Gus, it's referee Ryan Atkin – a friend of the podcast who is also an IGLFA official – talking about why IGLFA means so much to him, and how preparations from Buenos Aires are going. So, two cracking guests, talking about one big announcement!

A Christian teen's relationship with gay and lesbian friends should be no different than a Christian teen's relationship with straight friends. It's a theology & an equality & a relational commitment. I believe we can hold strongly to truth and grace at the same time.

Dr. Michael LaSala is the Director of the DSW program and an Associate Professor at the School of Social Work at Rutgers University. His research and clinical interests are the couple and family relationships of gay men and lesbians. Dr. LaSala has published extensively in peer-reviewed professional journals, and his current work examines the role of gay and lesbian family relationships in coping with stigma, ethical practice with LGBTQ populations, as well as the parental influence on gay youth's safe sex behaviors. He is the author of Coming out, coming home: Helping families adjust to a gay or lesbian child which describes the findings and practice implications of a National Institute of Mental Health-funded qualitative study of 65 gay and lesbian youth and their families. Dr. LaSala has been practicing social work for over 30 years at the direct practice, supervisory, and administrative levels and continues to practice part-time as a licensed clinical social worker at the Institute for Personal Growth in Highland Park, New Jersey Therapy for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ) focuses on mental health issues related to an individual’s sexual or gender identity and treats mental distress caused by the oppression, marginalization, and discrimination that may occur when coming out to family members, adjusting to a person’s authentic identity, and dealing with family pressures and expectations. According to the research, youth who identify as LGBTQ have an increased risk of self-harm and suicidal ideation, especially when they are faced with discrimination. In school, students who identify as LGBTQ are bullied, victimized, and rejected by their peers, which can lead to mental distress. LGBTQ adults may also experience similar persecution at their workplace, schools, and housing. These stressors may be the catalyst for LGBTQ individuals to seek mental health treatment, and an LGBTQ informed therapist can help reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and substance use in their clients (Almeida, et al., 2009; Yarbrough, 2018). Family Therapy for those who are Gay, Lesbian and Transgender targets the relationships between the individual and their family members. We have repeated findings that strongly suggest that supportive relationships between LGBTQ+ and their family members can be protective, reducing their risk for suicide, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and risky sexual behaviors. Family therapy can thus help the family harness this protective power. When a child comes out to a parent, the child is looking for support and acceptance while the parents is possibly experiencing shock, guilt, sadness and worry. Family therapy techniques targeting this population involve education, enactments, or getting family members to talk to each other in productive, non-reactive ways, and reframing difficult conversations (LaSala, 2010; Nealy, 2017; Stone Fish, 2007).

We were lucky enough to meet Melissa in the Philippines at the Tropical Think Tank conference. Melissa has a passion for supporting transgender and non-binary youth in their transitions. In this podcast we dive into some fascinating topics! With transgender becoming more and more accepted in today's society, Melissa helps us to understand the key differences between often misunderstood abbreviations to describe sexual orientations and gender.

In Lavender and Red: Liberation and Solidarity in the Gay and Lesbian Left (University of California Press, 2016), Emily K. Hobson challenges conceptions of LGBTQ activism as single-issue analogous to but separate from other activist initiatives. Instead, Hobson uncovers the gay and lesbian left, whose activists saw sexual liberation as intertwined with challenging racism, militarism, and imperialism. She focuses on the gay and lesbian left in the San Francisco Bay Area, tracing the movement from 1968 through 1991. This community of struggle was separate from both separatist and liberal LGBTQ organizing. It grew out of late-1960s and early-1970s gay liberation, but solidified in the mid to late 1970s, usually seen as a period when gay activism turned to more reformist and single-issue frameworks. Geography, space and place are important to Hobson's analysis. The Bay Area generated a lesbian and gay left partly because of newly politicized white queers proximity to Black liberationists, women of color feminists, socialist feminists, and Central American anti-imperialist and anti-capitalist refugees. These activists encountered each other in neighborhoods, activist offices, and at marches and rallies, where they learned form and sharpened each others politics as well as changed the trajectory of each others actions. As the New Right gained ascendancy, lesbian and gay activists found common cause with others under attack within and outside the Unites States. Over the decades, gay and lesbian leftists supported the Black Panther Party and political prisoners, challenged U.S. intervention in Central America, built links with lesbian and gay Sandinistas in Nicaragua, and brought their direct action skills to bear on the AIDS epidemic. Their coalitions were not without tensions, particularly ones of race; many gay and lesbian left groups were primarily white, and gay and lesbians of color challenged these gaps to create their own left-leaning formations and solidarities with other oppressed groups. Hobson analyzes these tensions and recovers varying forms of political critique, strategy, and community. Through drawing on oral histories and archival documents, including striking photographs, flyers, and political artwork, Lavender and Red lifts up a strain of gay and lesbian activism that had been all but lost to memory for most activists and scholars of today.

Tonight's SPECIAL GUEST is Drew Carillio, survivor and actor. One of today's most passionate activists when it comes to the horrors, the shame and the preventative steps we can all take when it comes to sexual abuse, is aspiring actor and model, Drew Carrillo. Many know Carrillo for his role in the movie "Vampires Suck," in which he played the part of a cast member of "Jersey Shore." He also has been featured in many popular television advertisements, the most recent being the "NERF or Nothing" toy campaign. In an interview with San Diego Gay & Lesbian News, Drew who is now openly gay, tells his "backstory" .. that he was raped at the age of 16 while a dedicated member of a prominent movement called Teen Mania Ministries. Coming to terms with one's sexuality can be very dramatic and tough due to gender societal parameters. To make matters worse for Drew and other young followers like him, Teen Mania Ministries spends millions of dollars on educational materials telling members of the church that homosexual men are in fact, often that way because they were raped. Drew was featured on the Dr Phil Show in 2005.
