Podcasts about Homophobia

LGBTQ+ people have always existed in the history of our palaces, yet the stories of this community have often been obscured or misunderstood.   When we explore queer histories, we gain a much fuller picture of societies in the past, from when our palaces were first built, right on through to their more recent history.     In this week's episode, Curator Matthew Storey is joined by Assistant Research Curator Holly Marsden, and Dr Kit Heyam, to discuss some queer stories connected to our palaces, and how best to understand them in their historic context.      Explore more LGBTQ+ histories from our palaces on our website.  Read Matthew's article about Kathleen Woodhouse.   Read Molly McClain's article on Stuart women.  Find Kit Heyam's books on their website.   In this episode we use a range of different gender pronouns to discuss historical people, including those used in the original sources and those used by historians today.  Content warnings:   Homophobia, including the murder of queer people  Transphobia   Non-consensual medical examination   Suicide    

(Trigger warning: Homophobia, transphobia, conversion camps)On this week's episode of Teen Girl Talk, we're heading to the worst camp with the best people.  We're covering But I'm a Cheerleader.  Also on this episode Suesie calls out Frank's blatant slander against the Twilight fandom.  Frank calls out Christian Grey for being terrible.  Intro and outro is Rebel Girl by Bikini Kill.Please rate, review and subscribe to the show on iTunes and SpotifyE-mail: realteengirltalk@gmail.comTeen Girl Talk's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/realteengirltalk/ Frank's writing website: franklincota.com Suesie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susieboboozy/Frank's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/siriwouldchallenge/Frank's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJcUttxP0ujvc6HXBz-4kIw

In this episode, I welcome back Glenna Goldis, a lawyer with extensive experience in government and advocacy, to discuss a recent Health and Human Services review on gender medicine. We dive into the report's findings, which critically assess the evidence for both the alleged psychological benefits and the physical harms associated with gender-affirming treatments, particularly for minors. Glenna highlights that the evidence supporting psychological benefits is shaky at best, while the report emphasizes the significant physical risks involved, including the lack of prior animal studies.We also explore the ethical implications of pediatric gender medicine. The report categorically states that it is unethical to subject adolescents to hormonal and surgical interventions, arguing that the risk-benefit profile is unfavorable. Glenna and I discuss the concept of medical consumerism and how it relates to patient autonomy, questioning whether giving patients what they want is always ethical.Additionally, we touch on the historical context of gender medicine and its ties to homophobia, emphasizing how this practice has disproportionately targeted gender-nonconforming individuals. Throughout our conversation, we aim to unpack the complexities surrounding gender identity, the responsibilities of medical professionals, and the societal implications of these treatments. Join us as we navigate this critical and timely discussion.Glenna Goldis is a lawyer in New York with experience in government, fraud investigations, and domestic violence advocacy. She publishes Bad Facts, a newsletter about the movement for trans rights. She first appeared on this podcast in episode 148.

It was 1973 when the National LGBTQ Task Force, the nation's first LGBTQ rights organization, was founded. Homophobia was being codified into legislation; the AIDs epidemic was a devastating and deadly epidemic, and gay people were subject to discrimination and violence. A brave group of activists, scientists and doctors stepped up to create a nonprofit from which they advocated for the right to exist, be heard and win legal protections. Co-founder Bruce Voeller, a biologist who coined the term AIDS, and died from complications of it in 1994 was instrumental in organizing the first ever briefing on LBGTQ issues with the White House. In this episode of Power Station I speak with the fearless Allen Morris, Director of Policy at the National LGBTQ Task Force about how he uses his voice on Capitol Hill and in state legislatures to stand up against vitriolic rhetoric and policies targeting queer and trans people. Allen is leaning into principled struggle with policymakers, pressing them to see that queer people are not the enemy. As this administration seeks to turn back the clock on LGBTQ rights, the Task Force is unbowed. Allen is inspiring and a joy. Hear him!

In the cycle between LGBTQ+ inclusion and exile, you can see the same signposts in either direction.

And in NewsWrap: Ghana's horrific anti-queer bill is being reintroduced by ten member of Parliament, Germany's government is cautioning its transgender and nonbinary citizens about traveling to the United States, Lesotho's government and leading queer advocacy group deny U.S, President Donald Trump's accusation that they received $8 million in LGBTQ+ aid, Trump's State of The Union address goes on to condemn nonexistent transgender mice and “wokeness,” a bill to ban trans women and girls from competing in federally funded school and college female sports fails in the U.S. Senate, more than 11,000 people took over Oxford Street in Sydney's queer Darlinghurst neighborhood for the Australian city's 47th annual Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Parade, and more international LGBTQ+ news reported this week by David Hunt and Melanie Keller (produced by Brian DeShazor).

In this episode, we explore the controversial "Twin Flames" phenomenon, a spiritual belief that suggests each soul has a perfect counterpart, known as their twin flame, with whom they must reunite for ultimate spiritual enlightenment. While proponents claim these intense, sometimes tumultuous connections lead to profound personal growth, critics argue that it can foster harmful, cult-like behavior and toxic relationships. We delve into the psychological and emotional impact of twin flame teachings and how they can lead to a dangerous blend of obsession, dependency, and manipulation.Trigger Warnings:ManipulationSpiritual AbuseTransphobia/TraumaToxic MasculinityThe PatriarchyJavyhttps://snwbl.io/javy-coffee/LACI33468Coupon Code: LACI33468 Deadly Faith PATREON: https://patreon.com/DeadlyFaithPodcast?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLinkDeadly Drip Merch https://www.bonfire.com/store/deadly-drip/?utm_source=facebook_messenger&utm_medium=store_page_published_share&utm_campaign=deadly-drip&utm_content=default Need A Podcast Editor?
