Growing up is a journey—but what does navigating adulthood look like when you're part of the LGBTQ+ POC community?

On this episode of On Your Gaydar, host Kaylee Golding is joined by TK and Dee for an honest and unfiltered conversation about navigating love, identity, and friendships within the LGBTQ+ POC community. From the joy of finding your chosen family to the challenges of dating men on the down-low, this episode dives deep into the realities that shape our connections. We also tackle the stigma surrounding gay men and the label of being 'a bottom'—exploring how stereotypes can impact self-expression and intimacy. Whether you're discovering your tribe, redefining your labels, or just here for the tea, this episode is packed with relatable stories, laughs, and thought-provoking insights. Tune in, and let's keep it real—because we're always on your gaydar!

“Let me figure out what's going to have the best impact whilst keeping me intact.” – Sabah Choudrey It's important everybody has the opportunity to find communities wherein they feel free, loved, and accepted.

Two facilitators who have carved out inclusive, joyful spaces for trans people to connect are Sabah Choudrey and Xandice Armah. What is the meaning of community? How do you balance political activism and personal wellbeing? Listen now to hear their thoughts. Sabah and Xandice's word of the day is BELONGING.

Me and Judiee wanted to keep the conversations going previously with another close judiee, to see if most LGBTQ+ POC think the same. We know folks handle situations differently but do they still learn the lesson in the process. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/singlygaypodcast/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/singlygaypodcast/support

People often ask if I have been to every truck from the podcast, and my response is always “not yet.” While work and school are demanding by themselves, I make it a goal to visit as many as I can, no matter how far down the line it is And that's why I'm excited to share an episode I originally released two years ago in season 1 with Nikeisah Newton, owner of Meals for Heels in Portland, OR. Nikeisah gained national attention for being Portland's first late night delivery service supporting the sex work and sex positive industries, but she's done so much more as well! Her activism with Black and Brown communities, the LGBTQ community, Black and Brown farmers, local artists and those at the intersections of those communities show that meals for heels it's not just in the community-it's for the community. This week, following the third anniversary of The Food Truck Scholar, I'm flying to Portland to finally meet Nikeisah in person, try her food and celebrate the one month anniversary of her new walk up restaurant. As you can tell by the audio, we've both come a long way and a followup interview is long overdue Thank you to our Season 3 Partners EatOkra- the go to app for finding Black owned food trucks and restaurants!

Welcome to episode 9. Today I'm excited to share with you my conversation with Emerence Merkle from Obskur Music, a Canadian techno label showcasing LGBTQ+ & POC artists. Emerence takes us on a tour of the label and then we'll hear a mix from Obskur Music artists, SIG SA Lee. But first, we're going to listen to another interview from the archive. In 2013 I spoke with Tricky just before the release of his album, False Idols. Listening back to this interview, I sound like crap. I remember now I had a terrible head cold. But I couldn't pass on the opportunity to interview one of my favourite artists.Playlist: Guido - Orchestral LAbJen Series - I'm Freaking Out SistahKloves, Emerencz - Lange VerlorenKloves - BoundRebug - Expletive SchemaKorea Town Acid - Control Freak

Happy Pride Month! We made it just under the wire! Our special guest for this episode is Katie Proctor, proprietress of Portland's own Books With Pictures, a comics shop designed from the ground up to be LGBTQ/POC/women/newbie-friendly and inviting to all (even old nerds like us). While we prep Season 4, Katie was kind enough to make time to talk about 2000's X-Men for the second of our pre-MCU Marvel movie bonus episodes. How does the film that relaunched the superhero blockbuster hold up? What didn't age quite as well? And what does happen to a toad when it gets hit by lightning? Listen and find out! We support the following organizations, and we hope that you will consider doing so as well: Black Resilience Fund TransActive Gender Project Q Center Outside In Basic Rights Oregon Visit Books With Pictures online at bookswithpictures.com or in person at 1401 SE Division St in Portland (open hours vary depending on proximity to apocalypse).

“The modern movement for LGBTQ equality was catalyzed by an uprising against police brutality, and for decades, Lambda Legal has understood that resisting state-sanctioned violence and discrimination, including by law enforcement ... Unfortunately, we have no reason to believe that Attorney General Barr or the Commission he has created will take seriously their duty to protect the civil rights of all people." Lambda Legal stated when they submitted written testimony highlighting the disproportionate levels of violence and abuse that LGBTQ people, especially LGBTQ people of color, experience in the U.S. criminal legal system.   Our guest today is Puneet Cheema, Staff Attorney at Lambda Legal.  Her work involves impact litigation, policy, and advocacy to prevent and address discrimination against LGBTQ people.

In this episode I'm joined by my friend Sharon Pink, a mental health practitioner working with survivors of intimate partner abuse. We discuss my experience of being in an emotionally abusive relationship with a white gay progressive man and the damage of White Privilege amongst LGBTQ POC, my path to healing, learning to trust our intuition, and practices of self awareness that all Queer People of Color can implement into our own lives to protect ourselves from the harm of so-called white progressives.   SHARON PINK IG @tarotreadingsbysharonpink   INSTAGRAM  @jeffreybchapman @conversationswithothers TWITTER @jeffreybchapman @CWOpodcast CONTACT conversationswithotherspodcast@gmail.com  www.conversationswithothers.com OUTRO MUSIC "LOOKING FOR ANOTHER" BY BRITTANY ALLEN   A Blessing From Sharon Pink Bravery does not always dissolve fear, and this, dear ones, is a brave conversation. To hear Jeffrey’s story is to witness the radical and magical acts of a queer, Black man getting free. And truly we know that feeling free and being free is worth the energy, as well as deserved. We also know that we cannot get free alone because as Audre Lorde taught us, “Without community, there is no liberation”, so may we all listen with the intention of connection, love and liberation.  All violence streams from white supremacy. White folks, may we continually re-commit to doing the work of undoing white-supremacy in all its forms. So, as and after you listen, I invite you to hold up a mirror, and ask, what are the ways that I perpetuate white supremacy? What am I doing to change this? And yes, white queers, “Your queerness does not absolve your racism”, (Ericka Hart). This is our work.  Black, Indigenous and all People of Color, may you feel seen, heard and freely breathe in the points of connection offered here. May this podcast be a spell of safety, love and justice that centers and honors queer, Black folks in both bravery and joy, and all things in between

After witnessing repeated acts of discrimination and abuses, Cynthia Thornton was drawn by her a strong belief in basic fairness and humankind's obligation to itself to get involved in working for civil rights especially for members of the LGBTQ community. She was especially motivated by the suicide of a young, co-worker who presented as a lesbian. She serves as President of Pride at Work Michigan.  Pride at Work Michigan is the local branch of a national nonprofit organization that represents LGBTQ union members and their allies and is officially recognized by the AFL-CIO. Earlier this year Thornton, received the University of Michigan-Dearborn’s Rebel With A Cause Award for her “exemplary demonstration of leadership and inspiration to young workers everywhere, especially here Michigan.” Thornton believes that nothing’s going to change without going through a political platform.” So, she works to build personal relationships while building understanding and acceptance. Thornton is working to educate LGBTQ communities of color and others about the candidates in the upcoming elections as well as getting out the vote in the LGBTQ community. Her new enterprise “Say it Proud LGBTQ POC” recognizes the compounded daily concerns that exist for people whose lives are lived at the intersection of two or more marginalized characteristics.
