Le mois des fiertés est l'occasion parfaite pour découvrir des séries qui célèbrent les relations et les histoires LGBTQ+. Que ce soit une série avec des relations principales ou secondaires, voici trois titres qui offrent une perspective différente de la diversité des expériences queer. Les engagés sur Prime Video et France.tv À la base, Les Engagés est une websérie française qui suit l'histoire d'Hicham, un jeune homme qui quitte sa famille à Lyon pour trouver sa place dans la communauté LGBTQ+ de la ville. Il rencontre Thibaut, un militant passionné pour les droits queer, et s'implique progressivement dans les activités de l'association qu'il dirige. En France, la série est considérée comme l'une des références sur cette thématique puisqu'à part Skam et celle-ci, on a peu de productions avec des personnages principaux LGBTQ+. Elle tente de rendre avec réalisme et empathie les luttes quotidiennes de la communauté tout en cherchant à être pédagogue sur les enjeux et la discrimination actuelle. Quand les deux saisons se sont terminées, France.tv a commandé une suite intitulée Les engagés XAOC, une mini-série de trois épisodes de 45 minutes là où les anciens faisaient environ 10 minutes. https://youtu.be/6sRWwbtccyo?si=VG7OKC9xVbGc7aPK [bs_show url="les-engages"] Pose sur Netflix Pose est une série dramatique créée par Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuket Steven Canals, qui se déroule à New York à la fin des années 1980 et au début des années 1990. La série plonge dans l'univers vibrant de la scène ballroom, un espace sûr et exubérant où les personnes LGBTQ+, en particulier les personnes de couleur, peuvent s'exprimer et trouver une communauté à travers la danse et le spectacle. La série suit des personnages comme Blanca Rodriguez (MJ Rodriguez), une femme transgenre qui fonde sa propre maison de ballroom, et Pray Tell, le maître de cérémonie respecté de la scène ballroom. Malgré des défauts narratifs, Pose reste révolutionnaire pour sa représentation authentique des personnes transgenres et des personnes de couleur tout en saupoudrant d'une pincée de style. La série a été saluée pour son casting inclusif, avec des acteurs transgenres jouant des rôles transgenres, ce qui était rarement le cas en 2018 encore. Les performances énergiques des scènes de ballroom contrastent avec les histoires poignantes des personnages, offrant une vision émouvante de la vie dans la communauté LGBTQ+ à cette époque. https://youtu.be/bxjmhardILg?si=tAOpD3kPRASQL6BW [bs_show url="pose"] Jane the Virgin sur TF1+ Jane the Virgin est peut-être la moins évidente de cette reco puisqu'il s'agit de relations secondaires. Pourtant, dès le départ, un personnage secondaire est ouvertement homosexuelle mais ce sera surtout l'évolution du personnage de Petra qui en fait une série notable sur ce sujet. Pour rappel, Jane the Virgin est une dramédie dramatique qui rend hommage aux telenovelas. On y suit l'histoire de Jane Villanueva, une jeune femme religieuse et déterminée, qui est accidentellement inséminée artificiellement par la sœur de son patron avec le sperme de ce-dernier (vous suivez ?). Elle apprend donc qu'elle est enceinte sans jamais avoir eu de rapports sexuels ce qui en fait un peu l'immaculée conception, surtout pour quelqu'un d'aussi croyante qu'elle et sa grand-mère. Jane va alors tenter de naviguer les complexités de la maternité, de sa carrière d'écrivaine et de ses relations amoureuses. En combinant son humour, ses références aux telenovelas avec notamment un narrateur excellent, Jane the Virgin va plus loin qu'une simple dramédie. Dès le départ, la série a su montrer des personnages divers et de minorités et a continué tout au long des cinq saisons. https://youtu.be/JOKUcwrPFmg?si=ytT1zlyBvqnXC9DK [bs_show url="jane-the-virgin"] Trois séries de tonalités bien différentes qui proposent un large éventail d'expériences pour ce mois des fiertés.

Why does prayer often feel awkward and uncomfortable? We often struggle with feelings of inadequacy, striving for the perfect words while missing the authentic connection with God. The basis of prayer is not performance but relationship. So, how should we pray? In this episode, Whit and Casey talk about their personal experiences with prayer, our misconceptions about God, and what Jesus had to say about prayer.   Show notes:  Listen to the Message How to Pray: https://youtu.be/vhdJb0B2gwk?si=vG6OP6mxZ2GMAdaM    In this episode, Whit mentions the book Sacred Pathways by Gary Thomas

Embark on a journey to the heart of Oregon's Willamette Valley, where the vines are more than just plants - they are the storytellers of the earth, the sun, and the seasons. In this episode of the Weinnotes podcast, I sit down with Tom Caruso, the visionary behind Pray Tell Wines. Our conversation is like uncorking a bottle of his finest - it unfolds with layers of passion, history, and a deep connection to the land.Tom's story is a tapestry woven from threads of memory, tradition, and innovation. As the grandson of a wine enthusiast, his roots run deep, tracing back to childhood days spent with his grandfather. This connection to his past is not just nostalgic; it's the bedrock of his philosophy. Tom's approach to winemaking is a dance between honoring tradition and embracing modernity - a harmonious blend that is evident in every bottle of Pray Tell.Our discussion dives into the unique challenges and triumphs of the 2023 harvest. Tom recounts the whirlwind of picking grapes in just four days, a testament to his adaptability and commitment to capturing the essence of each Harvest. His description of this process is like poetry, with words painting a picture of the vineyard bustling with activity, the air filled with anticipation and the earthy scent of ripe grapes.The beauty of Pray Tell Wines isn't just in the bottles but also in the stories behind them. Tom shares his creative process, where each label is an artwork reflecting the wine's character and his personal journey. His Gamay and Pinot Noir blend, inspired by childhood memories of capturing fireflies, symbolizes the magic trapped in each bottle, waiting to be released with every pour.As we taste his wines, Tom's descriptions are vivid and evocative. He speaks of color, not just in the wine but in its flavors, painting a sensory canvas that tantalizes the imagination. His wines are a symphony of taste, with each varietal contributing its unique note to create a harmonious blend.Our conversation is more than an interview; it's a voyage into the soul of Pray Tell Wines. It's about the connection of family, the passion for the craft, and the love for the land that gives life to the vineyard. So pour yourself a glass, sit back, and join us on this journey through the world of Pray Tell Wines, where every sip tells a story.#PrayTellWines #TomCaruso #OregonWine #WillametteValley #WineLovers #Viticulture #WineMaking #WineNotesPodcast

“Well, I'm first generation post Civil Rights movement. I came out in 1985, right in the middle of the AIDS crisis. And we went straight to the front lines to fight for our lives. It was Broadway Cares / Equity Fights AIDS and The Actor's Fund that taught an entire generation how to activate.

Now, Billy kicks off his next chapter in music, his first love, with new single “Baby Was A Dancer” arriving March 24th. @thebillyporter “Lin Manuel Miranda changed everything for me and I'm ten years older than him. The internet cracked open a space for the young people to understand their worth. I did not understand my worth early on – I did not understand that the stories could and should come from me. Who could tell the Black, Queer stories better than me? The audacity to understand that and know that and then step into the fullness of it. And that's what I spent my 30's trying to do!” - Billy Porter Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week Sean and Sonia take a much needed catch up on all the whatcha watchin's we skipped over the last few episodes. 

Speaker: Rev. Mark Mueller Scripture Focus: Acts 16:9–15, Revelation 21:9–14, Revelation 21:21-27, & John 16:23–33 Service Summary: The disciples thought they knew what Jesus was saying, but it was before Easter, and they could not understand. They would, “in that day,” that is, after Jesus' victory and the Spirit's gift of faith. Now we with them know that He has overcome the world, all opposition, and even death itself. John's vision in Revelation depicts a perfect Jerusalem, clear and beautiful, with the Lamb as its lamp. Anticipating such nearness of God, in this our day we can pray, asking for whatever we need, confident of our Father's hearing. In the Reading from Acts, Paul has to tell everyone about his Easter joy, and the Lord opens Lydia's heart. She is baptized and opens her home for Paul and Luke to use to tell others. With the clarity of our Spirit-given Easter joy, we know, pray, and tell!

Continuing our exploration of stories of on-screen characters and celebrities, who have positively represented the LGBTQIA+ community in mainstream media, in this episode, it's all about Pray Tell from Pose, played by American actor and singer Billy Porter. 

Pose. La serie tv su Netflix. Regia di Ryan Murphy e vincitrice di Emmy arriva ai microfoni, rigorosamente glitterati di CinefiliSerialmente. Gli anni '80 come non li avete mai visti né immaginati! Madonna, Donna Summer, Diana Ross e tutte scansatevi arrivano le ragazze delle Ball.

When Pope Francis dropped a bombshell decree restricting the traditional Latin Mass, Fr. Anthony Ruff, OSB, had two immediate reactions: shock at its severity, and then heartbreak and concern for the people who attend the Mass. Francis' decree, Traditionis Custodes, seeks to phase out the traditional Latin Mass, says Fr. Ruff, in a noble attempt to bring all Roman Catholics back together around the altar of the reformed Mass envisioned by Vatican II. But that could take decades, and the pain that traditional Catholics are feeling right now is real. Gloria and Fr. Ruff discuss the history of the Mass and why the pursuit of a pre-Vatican II church is misguided and dangerous. A Benedictine monk of Saint John's Abbey in Collegeville, MN, Fr. Ruff teaches liturgy and liturgical music, and directs Gregorian Chant. He blogs at Pray Tell. Support The Gloria Purvis Podcast by subscribing to America Magazine!

Question and Answer session. From November 15, 2020

Jesus promises that God will reward us for praying privately and sincerely.  So, what's the reward? Our Place at His Place #35. From November 15, 2020

On this bonus episode of the two-part series exploring the work of a trio of costume designers, who have received nominations for the 72nd Prime Time Emmy Awards for their work on critically acclaimed Ryan Murphy television productions, Analucia McGorty explains how after collaborating with Lou Eyrich on Season One of the FX series Pose, she flew solo for season two. She delves into her creative process of assembling the wardrobe of “Acting Up” – for which she has received her Outstanding Period Costumes Emmy nod - and she explains creating the look for the principal cast of Pose, including Billy Porter’s Pray Tell, Indya Moore’s Angel Evangelista, Dominique Jackson’s Elektra Wintour and MJ Rodriguez as Blanca Rodriguez-Evangelista.

Billy Porter is a Tony, Emmy and Grammy Award-winning, actor, singer, director, composer. He won a Tony Award in 2013 for originating the role of “Lola" in Broadway’s Kinky Boots, and his electric portrayal of “Pray Tell” in Pose earned him a 2020 Golden Globe nomination and a Critics’ Choice Award nomination. He also recently starred in the eighth season of Ryan Murphy’s acclaimed American Horror Story: Apocalypse as “Behold Chablis.” Billy joins us to discuss his career, his experience as a black queer man in entertainment, and his role on the acclaimed series Pose. Co-created by Ryan Murphy, Pose is a drama spotlighting the legends, icons and ferocious house mothers of New York’s underground ball culture, a movement that first gained notice in the late 1980s. Making television history, Pose features the largest cast of transgender actors in series regular roles. The Golden Globe-nominated and Emmy-nominated drama also features the largest recurring cast of LGBTQ actors ever for a scripted series. Visit http://g.co/TalksAtGoogle/Pose to watch the video.

Billy Porter has come to redefine the industry and shatter every boundary and binary in his way. Though he’s been in the industry for over 30 years it’s only in the last few that this incredible star had been getting the recognition he deserves. A conscious choice made when Porter chose his authenticity over fame; a decision few would have had the tenacity to follow through on. But today his hard work, dedication, and unwavering moral stance have earned him the role of a lifetime. Starring as the enigmatic Pray Tell on the hit TV show Pose, Porter serves us Ballroom Culture realness as he emcee’s the nightly challenges. But before we get to that, let’s start back at Billy’s childhood. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/yourqueerstory/message

On this week's episode of Kickin' & Streamin' Graham and Jocelyn review FX Original series Pose, a show starring M.J. Rodriguez, Billy Porter, Dominique Jackson, Ryan Jamaal Swain, and Indya Moore. The series was created by screenwriter, director, and producer Ryan Murphy. Murphy is best known for creating and co-creating heavy hitter series including Nip Tuck, Glee, American Horror Story, American Crime Story among others. Jocelyn describes the series as deeply educational and eye-opening. Graham & Jocelyn discuss how much the series shed light on the reality of the life of LGBTQ folks in the 80's at the height of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Jocelyn expresses her amazement at the members of the gay community's ingenuity of creating "houses" as a safe space, a place of refuge for young homeless and destitute LGBT people to prevent them from dying as victim of hate crimes and other dangers they were exposed to as a result of their sexual orientation. Jocelyn expresses how learning about the Ball Culture, all the details, the history, and the kindness the gay community showed to one another during those times is enough to renew her faith in humanity. The co-host then discuss each of the main cast members and their respective characters. Graham and Jocelyn praise M.J. Rodriguez's absolutely magnificent portrayal of Blanca Evangelista, a HIV positive "house mother" who is committed to bettering the lives of each one of her children, and she is particularly committed to ensuring Damon (Ryan Jamaal Swain) lives up to his potential as a ballet dancer. The two co-hosts then discuss Billy Porter's portrayal of Pray Tell who is the Emcee at the nightly balls where each house compete in a runway-style contest of a variety of categories. The remaining characters and actors are discussed at length and in detail. Graham and Jocelyn point out the importance of seeing the art in the series, the creativity, the braveness of individuals who in spite of all the rejection, discrimination, and mistreatment they received from the outside world, they decided to live their true lives, their true identity, regardless of the consequences and ignorance of the times. Enjoy this episode, and please don't forget to tell us what you think if you've watched Pose, or when you watch it.

Seal-based ASMR. A pile of melted Toblerones. Gelli plate fanatics. You may ask us…what, PRAY TELL, does all of this have to do with Banksy??? And we will tell you. Nothing; it all has not a thing to do with Banksy. So…do these topics get spoken about in this episode about Banksy? You bet’chur bottom. But don’t worry…we do in fact talk about the whole Banksy shredding the artwork at the auction thing. And joining us this time around is Paul Myers (https://www.instagram.com/paultmyers) ! Listen to us chat about stuff like: what was the message there? If money was no object, would we buy a damaged piece from our favorite artist? Or what about our own artwork? Could we destroy it to make a statement? Help us keep the podcast running!

While Rayna struggles with her career, her father is busy messing with her private life, encouraging her husband to run for election to be mayor of Nashville - against her wishes.Colony (USA)In the not-too-distant future, Los Angeles has been invaded and occupied by outside forces, causing a rift between the city's residents; some have collaborated with the occupation, while others are rebelling and suffering the consequences that come with that choice. Former FBI agent Will Bowman and his wife, Katie, must consider their familial obligations when making their decision because they were separated from their son, Bram, during the invasion. Proxy Snyder, a cunning and powerful leader within the occupational government, offers Will the opportunity to get Bram back if he works with the invading faction. Will's decision doesn't sit well with Katie, but the couple risk their lives -- and their relationship -- to protect their family.

Henry Deaver (Moonlight's André Holland) arrives in the fictional town (Castle Rock) after getting "a call from Shawshank" prison (the very same from King's The Shawshank Redemption) and is later seen speaking to a mysterious inmate there (It's Bill Skarsgard), who magically appears in a cell one night without any of the prison guards knowing how. While investigating the eerie appearance — it looks like it could potentially involve a suicide — Henry bumps into other odd people in the town: Ruth Deaver (played by Sissy Spacek), Molly Strand (Melanie Lynskey), Alan Pangborn (Scott Glenn), and more.
