Podcasts about lesbians

Women Series. Episode #1 of 4.  When we tell the story of AIDS— and we tell it more often now, in films and museums and classrooms— we tend to tell it as a story about gay men. And of course it was, overwhelmingly, a catastrophe that fell on gay men. But standing right beside those men, and very often holding them as they died, were lesbians. They organized. They protested. They gave blood. They emptied bedpans and changed sheets and sat through long nights in hospital rooms that nurses were afraid to enter. To some people listening it may seem only natural that lesbians stood in solidarity with gay men but to historians of queer history, this turn of events is surprising; these were, in many cases, women who had spent the entire previous decade in open political conflict with gay men. The 1970s gay and lesbian movement was not one big happy family. It was torn by a deep and sometimes bitter rift between gay men and lesbian feminists. And yet, when the crisis came, the women showed up. As part of our 2026 Women series, and in honor of Pride month, we're going to tell their stories.

On this podcast, we'll visit a New England lighthouse ; rip paintings from the wall & play a variation of F, M, K but the options are Dead, Lesbian or Re-word.

Hosts Bubba and Catfish and our listeners debate Evan's personality and humanity, while everyone but Ruth hunkers down in the shelter. Well, everyone but Tom, who travels to a fateful meeting. #WidowsBay Widow's Bay is an American comedy horror television series created by Katie Dippold for Apple TV, starring Matthew Rhys, Kate O'Flynn, and Kevin Carroll.

Welcome, Friends and Patriots!I'm excited about today's show because we're taking a little stroll down Primrose Lane. But this is not the kind of stroll where birds sing and butterflies land on your shoulder. No, we are looking at the destruction of Leftism We are people-watching at the graveyard where we see those Democrat voters rising from the grave and WAKING UP! Democrats are hemorrhaging their old reliable voting blocs faster than Tucker Carlson is losing relevance. Women are waking up. Black folks are waking up. Even those purple-haired, pronoun-wielding, avocado-toast revolutionaries in Gen Z are starting to peek behind the curtain and realize the wizard is just a grumpy old socialist with a trust fund. Everywhere you look, the people who were supposedly locked into one political tribe for life are starting to ask questions. So what's driving it?Two things.First, the sheer exhaustion that comes from trying to live inside a Leftist fantasy novel. Democrats are outing themselves.Second, Donald Pugnacious Trump.Love him. Hate him. Whether you collect Trump bobbleheads or throw darts at his picture, whatever your preference, you cannot deny that the man changed politics…FOR THE BETTER.Forget the media or other professional naysayers who gaslight about Trump. The Trump Effect is a real thing. And it's not just a domestic fling; it's a global phenomenon. From Europe to South America, leaders are copying the Trump playbook because common sense is making a comeback. More on that another day. For today, we're staying stateside. We're talking about the long game Trump played after what we all know was a coup in 2020. And recall everything the man went through back then. The humiliation of having to accept defeat to JOE BIDEN.That's enough to put many people in a mental institution.He never stopped swinging. Every time they tried to bury him, he popped up like a Whac-A-Mole with better lawyers and sharper one-liners. And those punches about the stolen election? They landed then and are landing harder now. Jillian Michaels is a reality star from a show called The Biggest Loser.She became somewhat political over the years, and I'm willing to bet that she was a card-carrying Leftist for many years. Not that it matters but she is a Lesbian, so part of the Skittles community. And she's been red-pilled.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Is this the deadliest teaching in human history?An encore presentation of our most-listened-to episode ever — and maybe our most powerful. And honestly? It feels even more urgent now than when we first released it.In this episode, we unpack one of the most destructive ideas humanity has ever embraced — a belief system at the root of division, oppression, shame, and violence for centuries.It has fueled the mistreatment of ethnic groups, religious minorities, women, LGBTQ people, and so many others. And right now, it's everywhere again.What is this teaching? How does it still shape our world? And how do we break free from it?This conversation matters.Send us a private message. *Note: INCLUDE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS if you'd like us to answer. :-) Support the show

Got some sh!t to say?Do couples need to share the same interests to have a successful relationship? In this episode of the Relationsh!t Podcast, Marko and Steve, joined by retired podcast host Tony Critelli (@thecritellis), tackle the reality that even the strongest couples won't agree on everything. From hobbies and entertainment to travel preferences and social activities, they discuss how partners can navigate their differences without losing connection.The guys explore the importance of supporting your partner's passions, the difference between participation and appreciation, and why maintaining individual interests can actually make relationships healthier and more fulfilling. They also share their own experiences with liking—and sometimes not liking—the things their partner enjoys, while examining how couples can find balance between togetherness and independence.To wrap things up, Tony joins the guys to tackle the week's Listener Sh!tuation, offering their thoughts and guidance on a real life dilemma from the audience.-Steve on the Minoritea Report Podcast:Minoritea Report Podcast | Listen HereSupport Ruben Tomas:Follow Him | @ruben_tomasVote for Him | Johnny Depp presents The People's ArtistSupport the showSh!t | Leave us a voicemail with your relationship sh!tuation at (903) POD- SHIT.  That's (903) 763-7448.  You can also fill out a Listener Sh!tuation on our website, podrelationshit.com, or email us at relationshitquestions@gmail.com.

In this episode of Satisfied, Ryan Swanson continues the Twisted Passions series by turning from explanation to application. For those who have experienced same-sex attraction, the question is not only “How did I get here?” but “What do I do now?” Using Ecclesiastes 4 and the picture of the threefold cord, Ryan explains the biblical importance of mutual discipleship, accountability, and outflow. He challenges listeners not to fight alone, but to share what God has used in their lives to help others pursue purity and satisfaction in Christ. Listeners who have experienced same-sex attraction are invited to anonymously share a verse, biblical truth, testimony, or practical step that has helped them at https://theegeneration.org/ssa. Topics Discussed The loneliness often felt by those struggling with same-sex attraction Why Ecclesiastes 4 speaks directly to the danger of isolation The difference between one-way mentorship and mutual discipleship How the “threefold cord” illustrates shared strength and shared responsibility The importance of personal integrity in the battle for purity Why outflow is a necessary part of Christian growth A powerful testimony from a Christian school chapel where young men began helping one another pursue purity The invitation for listeners to anonymously share what God has used to help them How testimony, Scripture, and practical wisdom can strengthen others in their own fight Key Takeaways You are not meant to face temptation alone. Mutual discipleship is not one strong person pulling up the weak, but believers strengthening one another as they walk with God. God can use the very truths He has taught you in your struggle to help someone else find hope and victory. Outflow helps turn the focus away from self and toward serving others. Even an anonymous testimony can be a meaningful first step in helping someone else become less gratified and more satisfied with Jesus Christ. Victory over deceptive thoughts starts early, before consideration turns into acceptance. Ready to download the Cord App? Find it here!

This Way Out celebrates Pride Month with a special look at the power of visibility, community, and resistance. Then, This Way Out visits Los Angeles' historic Founders Metropolitan Community Church for the unveiling of the Rainbow Liberation Steps, a permanent public art installation honoring LGBTQ+ freedom and liberation. The dedication ceremony features community leaders, activists, faith leaders, and members of the congregation reflecting on the continuing struggle for equality and inclusion. NewsWrap reports on Colorado's successful effort to restore its ban on conversion therapy, a federal appeals court ruling blocking the Trump administration's transgender military ban, Pride activists marching forward in Hungary despite government opposition, and Ghana's parliament approving a sweeping anti-LGBTQ law. Finally, This Way Out takes to the streets of Los Angeles to ask a timely question: What would you say to someone who believes Pride is no longer relevant? The answers reveal why Pride continues to matter for LGBTQ+ people and their allies around the world. Featured speakers: Nithya Raman, Phillip Ray De Blieck, Gerald Garth, Lucia Chappelle Credits: Associate Producer/Lucia Chappelle, Producer/Host Brian DeShazor, News writer Jeb Backe, feature producer Brian DeShazor and Lucia Chappelle, NewsWrap reporters, Tanya Kane-Parry and Michael Taylor Gray, music by Maggie Szabo and the Trans Chorus of Los Angeles, the Porland Lesbian Choir and Kim Wilson All this on the June 8, 2026 Edition of This Way Out!

FILM FESTIVAL TICKETS: https://buytickets.at/thedopeyfoundation/2216905 PATREON: www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast This week on Dopey! We check in from deep inside Knicks playoff mania, tackles a listener email about dating in early recovery, and shares some hard-earned thoughts on relapse, relationships, and protecting your sobriety at all costs. Then we reconnect with fellow Mountainside alum Kelly P, who was in treatment alongside Dave and Chris back in 2011. What follows is a truly classic Dopey story: childhood trauma, smoking weed at 12, cocaine by 17, dealing pills, getting hooked on oxy and heroin, robbing her own supplier, catching a federal indictment, getting arrested by the DEA, doing time in federal prison, finding love behind bars, and eventually surviving years of heroin, fentanyl, crack, and total chaos. Kelly takes us through decades of addiction, crime, incarceration, heartbreak, motherhood, and redemption with brutal honesty and surprising humor. From federal prison relationships to fentanyl addiction and near-total self-destruction, Kelly's story is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible even after the darkest chapters. Now approaching three years sober, Kelly reflects on forgiveness, family, recovery, and the gratitude that comes from building a life she never thought she'd get to live. PLUS: Knicks obsession, 2C-B puke stories, listener mail, Patreon drama, Narcan, recovery resources, cocaine relapse talk, and plenty of classic Dopey nonsense on a brand new episode of the podcast on drugs, addiction, and dumb shit.

For Buffy's 18th birthday she gets a taste of what if feels like to be an adult, you're weak and tired all the time and even those closest to you betray you.

For almost two years, there have been questions about the future of Chicago's downtown bus terminal. Flix, the parent company of Greyhound, has been on a month-to-month lease with the private owners since 2024, contributing to concerns about long-term access for the 500,000 riders it serves annually. Mayor Johnson has presented an ordinance to purchase the terminal for $19 million. Host Jacoby Cochran is joined by contributors Anna DeShawn and Brandon Pope to discuss the details. Plus, check out Anna's new and growing Chicagoland lesbian business directory and the Movies in the Park summer schedule.

Got some sh!t to say?This week on Relationsh!t, Marko and Steve dive into one of the most uncomfortable—and important—conversations happening in LGBTQ+ spaces today: the prejudice, judgment, and exclusion that can exist within our own community. Inspired by the release of No Fats, No Fems by Max Hovey (@max_hovey), the guys sit with Max to unpack the meaning behind one of the most infamous phrases in gay dating culture and explore the larger questions it raises about attraction, body image, masculinity, race, validation, and belonging.Whether you've experienced judgment, felt excluded, questioned your own assumptions, or simply want to better understand the complexities of queer community and dating culture, this episode offers a thoughtful and honest discussion about empathy, acceptance, and the ways we show up for one another.To wrap things up, Max joins the guys to tackle the week's Listener Sh!tuation, offering their thoughts and guidance on a real life dilemma from the audience.-Follow Max:Buy the Book | No Fats, No Fems: A Guide to Queer Empathy and Unpacking PrejudiceOn Instagram | @max_hoveySupport the showSh!t | Leave us a voicemail with your relationship sh!tuation at (903) POD- SHIT.  That's (903) 763-7448.  You can also fill out a Listener Sh!tuation on our website, podrelationshit.com, or email us at relationshitquestions@gmail.com.

Two weeks off and somehow we lived nine lives. Sam kicks things off with her annual pilgrimage to Lesbian Palooza, where it rained nonstop, the cabin had the insulation of a cardboard box, and she nearly froze to death but taking tequila shots at 9 AM helped. An edible later sent her into a silent spiritual journey while the lesbians assumed she was dying. (She was not. She was vibing.)The she shuffled off to chorus recitals featuring Eye of the Tiger AND unexpected African tribal numbers, dance marathons that lasted longer than the Olympics, and a Summer House reunion so chaotic she literally ran out of a recital to make it home in time.They also cover:• A political fundraiser full of homosexuals and zero gratitude from the candidate• A surprise 80th birthday party that nearly became a medical emergency• A reptile‑themed children's party featuring a vinegar‑shooting bug (yes, really)• Golf, illness, French onion soup, spicy wings, and a cassata cake that changed lives• A marathon of movies, documentaries, and unhinged TV, from Sally Field to a dressage scandal that absolutely did not need to go that hard• Sam reading an entire thriller in one day because she is, in fact, built differentIt's Pride Month, the chaos is high, the homophobes are uncomfortable, and we're thriving.

400+ Anti-LGBTQ Bills: Why Pride Month Still Matters Many people ask: “Why do we still need Pride Month?” After all, same-sex marriage is legal. LGBTQ people are visible in media, business, and politics. Haven't we won? The answer is no. As Pride Month begins, LGBTQ Americans—especially transgender youth—are facing the most significant legal and political backlash in decades. While marriage equality remains intact nationwide, the fight has shifted from expanding rights to defending them. More than 400 anti-LGBTQ bills have been introduced across dozens of states, while over 100 anti-trans laws have been enacted in recent years. From healthcare restrictions and sports bans to book censorship and attacks on legal recognition, the LGBTQ community is confronting a coordinated effort to roll back hard-won protections. In this episode, Karel examines:

Lesbian bars aren't just nightlife, they're evolving spaces of community and chosen family, and they have a special place in Jessi Hempel's heart. On this bonus episode, Jessi sits down with one of Hello Monday's own producers,  Rachel Karp, to talk about her new book The Lesbian Bar Chronicles: The Living History and Hopeful Future of America's Dyke Dives and Sapphic Spaces.  Rachel's journey started as a passion project: a documentary podcast in which the Cruising podcast team went on a road trip to visit every lesbian bar in the US. Their goal was to tell the history of lesbian bars and stories of the people who go to them. Now, those stories– and the lessons we can learn from them about how to create real-life community spaces–are in a book. In this episode: Why Rachel and the Cruising podcast team went on their road trip Why lesbian bars have endured, even as culture, technology, and rights have shifted What makes physical spaces of belonging different from digital communities The role of leadership in shaping inclusive, values-driven spaces What “chosen family” looks like in practice, and why it matters What anyone (queer or not) can learn from lesbian bars Follow Jessi Hempel and Rachel Karp on LinkedIn.
