Podcasts about lgbtqia2s

As we cross over from June's Pride Month into July's Disability Pride, let's just say it is a summer of PRIDe with us here. This week on Outlook we're talking about the connections, the intersectionalities between those celebrating LGBTQIA2S+ and celebrating living with disability. Yes, we know that the idea of “feeling proud” of living with disability (in this society which stigmatises anything not able-bodied) sounds strange to some, but here we're trying to destigmatize the whole thing by refusing to let circumstances out of our control dominate our lives. We're sharing first about our Friday night excursion out in London and to the home of the host who did a music show (first before us Monday mornings and then directly after). Bernie Koenig (of From Bach to Rock and then Bernie's Jazz and Blues) is a musician himself, from way back, and hosts jams (out of his basement) where he invites anyone to come to watch some jazz/rock/blues playing. So we went, though Oyster the guide dog didn't take to the loud drums, guitars, and trumpet so co-host Kerry and BF Barry sat with her just outside on the patio. It turned out it was a nice evening for everyone that way and Brian (who played trumpet briefly from back in high school) enjoyed seeing Bernie in his element. Bernie's wife, supporting him from the back row, waving and smiling to him was described to us. We then go on to discuss some of the local music shows co-host Brian has been out to lately, some of the navigational issues he dealt with to travel to said shows, as well as the benefits of supporting his community and getting to hear some of the music he so enjoys. And sister/co-host Kerry has what she's coined a soft announcement on the audio description collaborative team she's a member of, Picture This, and she shares about the two recent PBS American Masters documentaries they've produced extended AD for. She explains more about the docs which includes one on political theorist and scholar Hannah Arendt: Facing Tyranny, as she also explains more about what extended audio description is. It's another mixed bag show where we look back on our guests for June including Linsay Lusyne of Vision Loss Travel, friend Zoe Rae Espinoza on blind gaming, and Marie Elise who travels as Beyond My Blur. Plus some podcast recs as we head toward our 300's episode sometime in the weeks ahead. Here's a link to the Arendt documentary, though we do talk on this one about how a VPN was needed to view it here in Canada by the person who did the quality control )QC) on it: https://www.pbs.org/wnet/americanmasters/hannah-arendt-documentary/36135/

On today's show we welcome back two familiar voices from Niagara Pride: President and Co-Founder Ronald Piaseczny, and Programming Chair Sherry Fossett. Niagara Pride is a nonprofit dedicated to uplifting the LGBTQIA2S+ community across Niagara County and Western New York. Their mission? To create a region where everyone, individuals and families alike, can feel safe, supported, and celebrated in every space they occupy, from home to workplace, places of worship, and beyond. This grassroots organization is working hard to make Pride more visible and more accessible, especially in rural communities that often get overlooked. Ronald and Sherry join Jay Moran to share what's coming up — including the Pride Flag Raising Across Niagara County on May 30, and Niagara Pride's participation in the Buffalo Pride Parade on June 1.

Slushies, this episode finds Kathy, Lisa and Jason gearing up for AWP, and it's the last one with Divina at the table (we'll miss her contributions!). Three poems by Luiza Flynn-Goodlet get close reading by the team. Lisa admits to feeling initially resistant to the Ars Poetica form with the first poem, but admits to being won over and others agree. Jason connects the meditation on death in this poem and its personification of death to Anthony Hecht's Flight Among the Tombs: Poems. The delightful ways in which the first and third poems are in conversation with each other rounds out a layered discussion. (Not to be missed – Jason attempting some Gen Z slang with his farewell!)   At the table: Kathleen Volk Miller, Samantha Neugebauer, Lisa Zerkle, Jason Schneiderman, Divina Boko, Lillie Volpe (sound engineer) Luiza Flynn-Goodlett is the author of Mud in Our Mouths (forthcoming from Northwestern University Press) and Look Alive (winner of the 2019 Cowles Poetry Book Prize from Southeast Missouri State University Press), along with numerous chapbooks, most recently Familiar (Madhouse Press, 2024) and The Undead (winner of Sixth Finch Books' 2020 Chapbook Contest). Her poetry can be found in Fugue, Poetry Northwest, Third Coast, and elsewhere. She serves as a Poetry Editor for the Whiting Award–winning LGBTQIA2S+ literary journal and press Foglifter. Her critical work has appeared in Cleaver, Pleiades, The Adroit Journal, and other venues. Bluesky: luizagurley.bsky.social, Website

Guest writer to Out Magazine, Jeff McMullen, argues this it is time to ditch the ever expanding and often confusing LGBTQ+. We agree, but not sure we like his suggested moniker. Then, an Atlanta Pastor, Jamal Bryant, is calling for a 40-day black economic boycott of Target due to their reversal on DEI initiatives. Finally, some bodegas in NYC are selling “loosies,” but with a twist and not the single cigarettes we associate with the name. Single eggs are the new “loosies” due to the increasing cost of a dozen eggs pushing ten bucks!

SEND US A MESSAGE! We'd Love to Chat With you and Hear your thoughts! We'll read them on the next episode. Did you know that the entire LGBTQIA2S+ movement is built on deception and lies? No...really. Why don't more Christians seem to care? Why are more and more Christian placating to the world? Maybe, if your context is anything like ours, you've heard something like: "You can be a Christian and gay!" or "Sure, its ok to go to a gay wedding!" or "I just use the pronouns because it is loving our neighbor". Wherever I turn, I see more and more Christians wanting to blend in with the way things are while simultaneously falling in disdain with early church history, biblical doctrine and a true pursuit of Jesus. Where are we headed? Why is the bride of Christ bending the knee to things that we are warned about time and time again throughout scripture. Jesus has called His followers to carry a cross. Our lives can be enjoyable...but there WILL be hardship for the true follower of Jesus. We pray that you are encouraged to stand firm and not deny Him the way the world commands you to.

"This is the city's backyard. An early morning walk will take a visitor past dozens of small businesses: metal benders, plastic molders, even casket makers. At five, they set down their tools and return to the suburbs. A few hours later men in black leather will step out on these same streets to fill the nearly thirty gay bars, restaurants and sex clubs." - Mark Thompson, 1982 Ringold Street, or Ringold Alley in San Francisco's SoMa or South of Market neighborhood, helped to start a kinky sexual revolution in the city by the bay. Ringold played host to the first two “Up Your Alley” street fairs before the moved to Dore Alley in 1987, but not many know the history of this once popular gay cruising spot in San Francisco's leather district. Gay author, activist, writer and leather educator Race Bannon takes us cruising and shares stories of the Ringold Alley that was, and what it's inspired in today's LGBTQIA2S+ community.

Send us a Text Message.In this episode of The Mama Psychedelia Podcast I interview Kate Kincaid. Kate is a licensed therapist based in Tucson, AZ and Salt Lake City, UT. She runs group private practices that specializes in working with LGBTQIA2S+ clients, people in ethically non-monogamous relationships and people seeking psychedelic integration therapy. She is trained by MAPS in MDMA-Assisted Psychotherapy and utilizes Ketamine Assisted Therapy in her practice as well as KAP provider trainings. Kate is trained in Perinatal Mental Health from Postpartum Support International and is a certified doula as well. She is passionate about perinatal mental health and is an advocate for innovative psychiatric treatments for PMDD and postpartum depression. These disorders affect many new mothers and can have a profound impact in their family systems and current treatments for these conditions are limited. In this episode together we explore her work and how it can support folks to move through traumatic experiences from their lives and transform, as well as how this work has been transformative in her own life, and particular in her transition into motherhood. Kate speaks about her experience with a near death experience, and choosing to be here for her children, and how psychedelic therapy was been a guiding light in integrating this experience. We speak openly about the reality of Postpartum depression which many women face and shine light on the lessons and the resources for support that are available. Resources: Website: www.katekincaid.com, www.tucsoncounselingassociates.com, www.somapsychotherapyslc.com,  www.swlovefest.com Email: kjkincai@gmail.com Instagram: @okatekincaid or @tucsoncounselingassociates Your Host Mackenzie: Launching my Pre Conception Pregnancy Preparation 9 month journeyIG: @mamapsychedelia & @hunnywombdoulaEmail: Birthkeeperkenz@gmail.comWould you like to be on the show?

Road trips are such funny things. They allow more room for whimsy and spontaneity. They can inspire frank conversation, sitting side by side with someone, looking out at endless stretches of highway. And they can be dull (all that endless highway) in a way that somehow opens your mind to other possibilities and maybe even other lives.  That's what happened for Charlie Sprinkman as he drove back and forth—and back again—across the United States. He was working a job that required constant travel, and as a queer person, he was always on the lookout for spaces that were both welcoming and queer owned. On their third trek across the States, he realized that if he was looking for these kinds of businesses, other LGBTQIA2S+ travelers would be too. So he founded Everywhere Is Queer, a map that helps those travelers find welcoming, queer-owned spaces around the world.  In this week's episode, Charlie shares their journey from a young, searching kid in Wisconsin to successful entrepreneur, and everything in between. And in the companion interview with Charlie on YouTube, he shares some of their favorite queer-owned places and businesses, where he wants to go from here, and how road-tripping helped them see that the country is really more alike than it seems.  Resources Read the transcript of the episode.

Rachel Smith (they/she) is a Licensed Massage Therapist and Integrated Prenatal and Perinatal Practitioner. They grew up on unceded Monacan territory known as Charlottesville, VA and have always felt deeply rooted in the community and in the land itself, particularly the Blue Ridge mountains. Smith attended the Virginia School of Massage and completed studies there in 2002. They went on to graduate from the University of Virginia with a degree in Studies in Women and Gender. Since their late teens, Smith has been involved in anti-violence work; they helped to found the Virginia Anti-Violence Project - an organization that addresses sexual violence, intimate partner violence and hate violence in the LGBTQ community. They also served on the state board of the Virginia Sexual and Domestic Violence Action Alliance for 6 years.After having 2 (of their 3) children, Smith shifted the focus of their commitment to helping people in a more direct, hands-on way. Their own experience of birth helped change their relationship with their body; they knew after giving birth to their first child that the experience of being able to feel and trust into their body was transformative and life-changing.  Given how challenging the prenatal and perinatal time can be, particularly for Black and Brown folx, LGBTQIA2S+ folx, neurodivergent folx and folx with disabilities, Smith knew they wanted to help other birthing parents feel supported and resourced around this tender time. They have been studying Prenatal and Perinatal Dynamics with Kate White since 2017 and have assisted in workshops and trainings she has held for participants coming from all over the world including Australia, Lebanon, Serbia, and California. Smith offers in-person and zoom sessions that take a holistic, somatic, and trauma-informed approach to helping people address trauma and challenges in pursuit of living and loving their best lives.Website: mindfulmassagecville.comProlyfyck Run Crew: https://prolyfyck.com/

Sixty-two pupils at the Ariel School aged between six and twelve said that they saw one or more silver craft descend from the sky and land on a field near their school. Some of the children claimed that one or more creatures dressed all in black then approached and telepathically communicated to them a message with an environmental theme, frightening them and causing them to cry. The Fortean writer Jerome Clark has called the incident the “most remarkable close encounter of the third kind of the 1990s”. Some skeptics have described the incident as one of mass hysteria. Not all the children at the school that day stated that they saw something. Several of those that did maintain that their account of the incident is true.   Background Ruwa is a small agricultural center located 22 kilometers (14 mi) south-east of the capital Harare. At the time of the incident, it was not a town but only a local place-name, "little more than a crossroads in an agricultural region". Ariel School was an expensive private school. Most of the pupils were from wealthy white families in Harare. Two days prior to the incident at Ariel there had been a number of UFO sightings throughout southern Africa. There had been numerous reports of a bright fireball passing through the sky at night. Many people answered ZBC Radio's request to call in and describe what they had seen. Although some witnesses interpreted the fireball as a comet or meteor, it resulted in a wave of UFO mania in Zimbabwe at the time. According to skeptic Brian Dunning, the fireball "had been the re-entry of the Zenit-2 rocket from the Cosmos 2290 satellite launch. The booster broke up into burning streaks as it moved silently across the sky, giving an impressive light show to millions of Africans. “Local UFO researcher Cynthia Hind recorded other alien sightings at this time, including a daylight sighting by a young boy and his mother and a report of alien beings on a road by a trucker.   Incident The sightings at Ariel occurred at 10am on 16 September 1994, when pupils were outside on mid-morning break. The adult faculty at the school were inside having a meeting at the time. The entire incident lasted about fifteen minutes. When the children returned to class, they told the teachers what they had seen but were dismissed. When they returned home, they told their parents. Many of those parents came to the school the next day to discuss what had happened with the faculty.[8] The sighting was reported on ZBC Radio, from where Cynthia Hind learned about it. The BBC's correspondent in Zimbabwe, Tim Leach, visited the school on 19 September to film interviews with pupils and staff. After investigating this incident, Leach stated "I could handle war zones, but I could not handle this". Hind visited the school on 20 September 1994. She interviewed some of the children and asked them to draw pictures of what they had seen. She reported that the children all told her the same story. That November, Harvard University professor of psychiatry and Pulitzer Prize winning author John Mack visited the Ariel school to interview witnesses. Throughout the 1990s Mack had investigated UFO sightings and the alien abduction phenomenon. According to the interviews of Hind, Leach and Mack, 62 children between the ages of six and twelve said that they had seen at least one UFO. One or more silver objects, usually described as discs, appeared in the sky. They then floated down to a field of brush and small trees just outside school property. Between one and four creatures with big eyes and dressed all in black, exited a craft and approached the children. At this point many of the children ran but some, mostly older pupils, stayed and watched the approach. According to Mack's interviews the creature or creatures then telepathically communicated to the children an environmental message, before returning to the craft and flying away. According to Dunning, this telepathic message aspect of the story was not included in Hind or Leach's reports, only Mack's, although Hind reported it later. In Mack's interviews one fifth-grader tells how he was warned "about something that's going to happen," and that "pollution mustn't be". An eleven-year-old girl told Mack "I think they want people to know that we're actually making harm on this world and we mustn't get too technologic." One child said that he was told that the world would end because they are not taking care of the planet. The children were adamant that they had not seen a plane. Hind noted that the different cultural background of the children gave rise to different interpretations of what they had seen and they did not all believe that they had seen extraterrestrials. She noted that some of the children thought the short little beings were tikoloshes, creatures of Shona and Ndebele folklore.

The “I” in LGBTQIA2S stands for intersex, which represents a seemingly endless list of possible combinations of our human X and Y chromosomes.  Some intersex individuals are misdiagnosed with various other ailments in their youth — like Klinefelter's Syndrome — and ultimately have to make difficult, life and identity-altering decisions in adulthood. Like actress and intersex advocate Juleigh Mayfield, who was forced to transition to female in her forties. HOST: Christopher J. Beale

Have you ever known some hetero Christian married couple who were together a real long time and then one of them is like, “oops, I'm gay!” and they break up? A lot of us have known folks in this position. And we also remember the fallout and the “prayer chain” (read: gossip train) buzz when these woes befell our brethren. By the way, is there such a thing as “sisthren?” or “siblingthren?” There should be. We digress. Long story short, this podcast is hosted by a sisthren of “oops, I'm gay!” women in their 40's. Lindsay, Meg, and Sarai have all experienced different journeys in discovering, accepting, and embracing their queerness. In this episode, our Holy Ghosting triumvirate share the ways their paths wound from compulsory heteronormativity toward full awareness of their unique sexualities. In this episode topics include feeling like imposters, finding acceptance and love in the LGBTQIA2S+++ community, and navigating the aftermath of a lifetime of mandatory sexual repression. Content Warning: welp. These broads definitely talk a lot about LGBTQIA2s+ history including discussion of internalized homophobia, general homophobia as disseminated by the evangelical right wing from the 80's until…um, right now, and honestly, the hosts are wont to talk about sexual trauma kind of a lot. Listen with care, and if it's not an episode that feels good to you, take a beat and take good care of your beautiful human self. Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/holy-ghosting/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

This episode of the Plant Medicine Podcast welcomes Dr. Angela Carter (they/them) to discuss the intersection of the LGBTQIA2S+ community and psychedelics. Dr. Carter is a queer, transgender, and genderqueer naturopathic primary care physician who also works as a midwife, sexual assault examiner, and health equity advocate in Portland, Oregon. They also serve as both the vice-chair and the equity in training subcommittees co-chair of the Oregon Psilocybin Advisory Board. In addition to these positions, Dr. Carter serves as the chair of the Transgender Health Program Community Advisory Board at Oregon Health & Science University. They also volunteer with many organizations including the Fireside Project, Black Rock City Emergency Services, and Queerdome.  Dr. Carter begins this conversation by sharing exciting new research currently being conducted which involves LGBTQIA2S+ individuals and psychedelic therapies. While this particular area of research remains small, it is growing and the fruits of these studies will be an important step for better understanding how these new therapies can serve gender and sexuality minorities, and help facilitators understand the unique concerns of people in the LGBTQIA2S+ community. Dr. Carter illustrates these types of concerns by discussing the prevalence of gender binaries within psychedelic spaces. They describe how in a clinical setting it is prevalent to have both a male and a female facilitator, but this leaves no room for gender-nonconforming people to guide experiences—something which could be preferable if the patient themselves shares this identity.  Dr. Carter also discusses this gender binary in traditional contexts. It is common for ayahuasca ceremonies to provide separate spaces for men and women, again leaving no space for gender-nonconforming people. This reification of the gender binary and the often patriarchal organization of the ayahuasca ceremony can have serious impacts on the set and setting, especially for people in the LGBTQIA2S+ community. Dr. Carter emphasizes the importance of making space for folks in the community so that they are able to receive therapy, attend ceremonies, and participate in integration with others who share similar identities. This shared identity, they emphasize, ensures that LGBTQIA2S+ people don't feel out of place in contexts that ought to be healing. Dr. Carter closes by discussing how members of the LGBTQIA2S+ community experience disproportionate rates of mental illness, further illustrating the crucial importance of equity in accessing psychedelic medicine.    In this episode: Problems of representation and access for LGBTQIA2S+ individuals in the psychedelic space Current research being done on the intersection between psychedelic therapies and unique issues faced by gender and sexuality minorities Preparations to take before guiding a psychedelic experience for LGBTQIA2S+ people, particularly if you do not come from the community How plant medicines could have unique benefits for the LGBTQIA2S+ community Issues of poverty faced by marginalized peoples and how to support equity of access to emerging psychedelic therapies   Quotes: “For some people that idea of melding, of becoming one and losing all of those unique pieces of themselves, doesn't fit their paradigm of a spiritual connecting experience.” [10:47]  “It's precious, that centering of our community—to be able to sit with people who just understand.” [19:42]  “Psychedelics offer the opportunity for connection of the self to something greater, something outside, a bigger community, spirituality, and really do a huge amount to heal peoples' relationships with substances.” [25:20]  “Marginalized communities have been really impacted, largely, by the war on drugs, which has put millions of people in jail for drug offenses and stolen their ability to make income, stolen their ability to connect with community and we really need to heal that.” [33:34]   Links: Chacruna Institute Queering Psychedelics 2019 Conference Queerdome on Facebook  Portland Psychedelic Society Psychedelic Medicine Association Porangui

Episode Intro: Dear listeners of the Female Guides Requested Podcast, happy Wednesday. I'm your host Ting Ting from sunny and soon to be hot Las Vegas. Today our guest is another Vegas local, Irene Yee. The famed ladylockoff on Instagram. Irene is a professional west coast based rock climbing and adventure photographer. She started rock climbing out of pure joy, picked up a camera soon after, and continues that journey on her instagram @ladylockoff. Her focus is to uplift women, BIPOC, and the LGBTQIA2S+ communities; choosing to highlight those pushing their own personal limits and finding inspiration in those with passion over muscle. She is internationally published, a @natgeoadventure contributor, and works with today's largest outdoor brands and non-profits. I had so much joy chatting with Irene in her house. We talked about how she transformed herself from a shy figure, hidden in dark clothes, to a bold, assertive, yet inclusive personality. I learned how she first took photos as a hobby and then slowly but surely turned creative photography into her profession when she identified the community needed her visual work. After we covered the serious topics, we had a fun time sharing about what else there is to do in Vegas besides climbing! That's right, Vegas has more to offer. Now let's have fun with Irene Yee.

Special Announcement: This Libra New Moon, my best friend from College, Andy Myers, is getting married to the love of his life, John.  I sadly can not make the wedding in-person.  However, because of technology, I will be attending the ceremony on Zoom.  I have been helping Andy write his vows this week.  Reading his reflections on their relationship has been touching, inspiring and heart-opening. To witness members of the LGBTQ+ community join together through love and commitment gives us hope for a better tomorrow.  Please join me in wishing both Andy & John a happy, love-filled union.   Fundraiser for Aloha Maui Pride  In response to the recent fires that have affected the beautiful island of Maui, our Cosmic Cousins community has raised $1,468 for Aloha Maui Pride – an organization aiming to raise funds and awareness for the LGBTQIA2S+ community affected by the devastating fires in Lahaina. The fundraiser is still open until this Sunday, October 15. To donate on behalf of Cosmic Cousins to Aloha Maui Pride, please visit my instagram   Important Announcement Because of travel and study opportunities, I will only be offering live one-on-one astrology readings via Zoom through the end of the calendar year 2023.  If you have been hoping to book a session with me now would be the time.  Since I will be abroad the first half of 2024 (and perhaps longer), my offerings will be shifting in the New Year.  I will still be offering Astrology Readings and Consultations.  However, they will most likely switch to being pre-recorded .mp3 readings.  More information on this is soon to come. I am also happy to share, even though I will be on the other side of the world, the podcast will still be able to continue during this time.  Episodes will still be released on each New and Full Moon, as this offering still is a devotional practice from my heart to yours.   If you are looking for greater support on your journey, then I would be honored to hold space for you in this way, through a: deep-dive astrology reading tarot healing sessions, or 3-6 month mentorship. If you have any questions, reach out to me through email at:  jeff@brooklynfools.com       Wishing you a peaceful Libra New Moon.   OTHER LINKS Sign-up for Newsletter Podcast: iTunes, Spotify, or Podbean About Jeff Hinshaw Instagram Patreon for Cosmic Cousins Astrology Mentorship Astrology Reading Tarot Healing Session
