EPISODE 66–Coming Out When You're a MomOn this podcast, we often have conversations addressing parenting issues with experts, and we talk about parenting with parents.  Today's episode explores an example of a mom realizing she was queer as an adult parent with grown children, and the impacts that had on her family. In this episode of In the Den, Jen visits with Jamie Michaels, her daughter Laurel Armstrong, and Jamie's partner Celeste Carolin about navigating a coming out later in life as a parent.  Special Guest: Jamie MichaelsGrowing up in a Christian household, Jamie Michaels embraced her faith and raised her family within Evangelical Christian teachings. However, in 2015, Jamie came out as gay to her husband and her three adult children, a revelation that challenged her family's beliefs and reshaped many of her relationships. Through her honesty and vulnerability, Jamie navigated the complexities of reconciling her sexuality with her religious roots, while navigating the complexities of a blended family. Her story serves as a powerful reminder of the strength found in embracing one's true self at any stage in life.Special Guest: Lauryl ArmstrongLauryl, the eldest child of Jamie Michaels, grew up in an Evangelical Christian household, deeply rooted in faith and tradition. In her early twenties, she embraced her role as a youth leader intern, passionate about guiding and inspiring younger members of her community. Lauryl continued to uphold her family's values, raising her own family within Christianity. However, her world was turned upside down in 2015 when her mother came out as gay, introducing her partner into the family in 2016. This shift challenged Lauryl's beliefs and sparked a journey of self-discovery and acceptance, ultimately reshaping her perspective on love, family, and faith.Special Guest: Celeste CarolinCeleste, Jamie Michaels's partner, came from an LDS upbringing, coming out in 2005. Entering Jamie's predominantly Christian family introduced her to new complexities and unexpected joys, navigating the intricate dynamics of family ties, including adult stepchildren, grandchildren, and proximal family. Blending traditions, managing expectations, and navigating family rules became a delicate dance in their shared journey, where curiosity and adaptability undoubtedly played pivotal roles in fostering harmony and understanding within their blended family unit.Links from the Show:Join Mama Dragons here: www.mamadragons.orgIn the Den is made possible by generous donors like you.

For the past six weeks, thousands of high school students from around Toronto have gone on a special field trip back in time. They've attended an immersive outdoor play about antisemitism in 1933 Toronto, when growing racial tensions between local Nazi supporters and Jewish immigrants boiled over at a baseball game at Willowvale Park, now known now as Christie Pits. The ensuing street brawls lasted for six hours, wounding dozens of people and prompting the mayor of the day to clamp down on hate symbols by banning the display of swastikas. The creators of the new play hope that by showcasing the age-old hatred of Jews and immigrants, they'll also challenge students to recognize modern instances of hate and take action when they see it. Will the play succeed? The CJN Daily's Ellin Bessner took in a recent performance of The Riot at Christie Pits. On today's show, you'll hear from some students who watched it, teachers who accompanied them, the play's creator Sam Rosenthal of the Hogtown Collective, and his 88 year old father Joseph, who grew up nearby.

The worst race riot in Canadian history happened on a Toronto baseball field exactly 88 years ago today. Just a few months after Adolf Hitler came to power in 1933, in the midst of a global depression, the dictator's ideas were already taking hold in some parts of Canada. By the summer, pro-Nazi agitators showed up to a baseball game where a Jewish team was facing off against a Protestant team. Agitators unfurled a big banner with a swastika on it, and citywide violence ensued: within hours, an estimated 10,000 people were slugging it out, both in the park itself and in nearby neighborhoods across Toronto. To mark this anniversary, we're joined by Eli Yarhi of Historica Canada, which recently published a short video about the event, and Jamie Michaels, the author of a graphic novel about the riot. Plus: There's a federal election happening on Sept. 20. That's 36 days away—double chai. Will this be an auspicious election for Jewish Canadians? Hear what The CJN Daily has planned for the next month of coverage.

How do we teach about anti-Semitism in Canada? Jamie Michaels' graphic novel "Christie Pits" tells a fictionalized story about the real anti-Semitic race riot in Toronto in 1933 - the largest race riot in Canada's history. In our conversation, Jamie talks about the ways he worked with artist Doug Fedrau in bringing this work to life and and why understanding this history is more important than ever.

In August 1933, members of a newly-formed Swastika Club attended a public baseball game at Toronto's Christie Pits Park featuring a mixed Jewish and Italian team. After they taunted the Jewish players, a riot broke out that led to 10,000 people fighting in the streets. Christie Pits is a new graphic novel by Winnipeg author Jamie Michaels and illustrator Doug Fedrau. We talk with Jamie Michaels.

Winnipeg's Jamie Michaels is arguably the best self-promoter we've had on the podcast and what he's promoting is a graphic novel about a little known happening in Canadian history at the height of fascism's march across Europe in the years before WWII.Christie Pits is a graphic novel detailing the little-known happenings behind Canada's only race riot – when Nazi sympathizers unfurled a Nazi flag during a public baseball game and Jews and Italians united to throw down against them in Toronto's Christie Pits Park. Coming out now, the work seems more relevant than ever with Trump in office and fascism seemingly getting more of a foothold than it has ever had since the Second World War in governments around the world.We talk about that on this podcast and why Jamie Michaels decided to make a little-known moment in Canadian history the subject of the second graphic novel he has written with art by Doug Fedrau. The first was Canoe Boys the story of how he and his friends canoed to Mexico for a bet and this podcast addresses that too. We also talk about why he founded his independent comics company Dirty Water Comics and what it's like trying to make it in the independent comics game outside a national centre like Toronto and do a deep dive on the comic scene in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Like many students, Jamie Michaels really messed up his finances while in school. Instead of taking time off to save money, or calling his parents for help, he did something most of us would never dare to try. Far from home, in a foreign city, Jamie chose to be homeless. Faced with the harsh reality of spending his nights on the street, he became the sleuthhound, sniffing out shelter with every waking moment.
