Letterboxd head of editorial Mitchell Beaupre returns to us this week to close out Pride month with one of Luca Guadagnino's most divisive films. In 2024, with audiences still under the spell of Challengers, the director also brought to the screen a long-gestating passion project: an adaptation of William S. Burroughs' Queer. Starring Daniel Craig as Burroughs … Continue reading "394 – Queer (with Mitchell Beaupre!)"

Tillie Walden is a prolific and award-winning American graphic novelist. Her 2017 graphic memoir, Spinning, won the prestigious Eisner Award. Now, she's back with her 15th publication, Charity and Sylvia, which takes readers into rural Vermont in the early and mid-1800s to tell the story of one of the oldest documented queer relationships in America. Tillie tells Tom Power about the true love story of Charity Bryant and Sylvia Drake, how their story made her reflect on her own life, and what it's like to draw 240 pages in just eight months.

Queer people have always been in the Star Wars universe — the franchise just keeps hiding them. Matthew Fox, Alex Kormann, and Erin McGowan of Star Wars Generations on The Ethical Panda network take stock of LGBTQIA+ representation across the full canon for Pride Month 2026: from the covert queer coding of Lando and Admiral Holdo, to the openly queer High Republic novels, to the all-female coven of “The Acolyte” and the deeply felt enemies-to-lovers arc of Zeb and Kallus in “Rebels.”The hosts bring genuine stakes to the conversation: Erin grew up in a conservative religious community where bisexuality wasn't a thing you talked about. Matthew is non-binary and queer. Alex is the self-described straight cis member of the group, and arguably the most frustrated by how often the films blink first. Why does Star Wars take bigger risks for a smaller audience? And after decades of queer characters thriving in the books while the films hedge, will the next wave of Star Wars projects finally close that gap?Full show notes and resources: Here**************************************************************************This episode is a production of Star Wars Generations, an Ethical Panda podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

June is Pride Month — a time dedicated not just to parades and rainbow flags but to profound affirmation and resistance against discrimination. The skewed Christian view of pride involves a self-centered attitude, placing oneself above others. But the LGBTQ+ community is not declaring themselves above anyone else. Pride Month was born from a necessity to stand against oppression and claim a rightful place in society — not out of a desire to dominate, but a need to exist openly and safely! Let's set the record straight: It's about love, not arrogance. We talk about what Pride really is and how it's a powerful expression of love's triumph over shame. It's a celebration – not a sin!Send us a private message. *Note: INCLUDE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS if you'd like us to answer. :-) Support the show

Tyler shares his journey from Texas to New York, the evolution of Don't Suck, and how authenticity, humor, community, and integrity shape LGBTQ storytelling.

See how acting helped me understand my identity and pursue the life I wanted." - Tyler Isaac MartinIn this video, Tyler shares the personal path that led him to acknowledge his attraction to men from a young age. Growing up, watching his sister participate in theater gave him the courage to step onto the stage himself. Acting provided more than just a hobby; it offered a space where he could explore who he was and build confidence. Whether you are navigating your own path or simply interested in how the arts shape our personal growth, this story highlights the impact of finding your community.We also discuss the world of performance, touching on the admiration for great casts and the unique energy of improv comedy. While I have not seen Jeff Hiller perform improv yet, it remains on the list for anyone who appreciates the art of unscripted performance. Understanding the theater influence on my life has been central to my self discovery journey, and I hope sharing this perspective helps others find clarity in their own experiences.Subscribe for weekly personal growth stories and acting insights, and let me know in the comments what topic you would like me to cover next.Watch Left of Str8 Interviews every week for smart, funny, and heartfelt conversations with LGBTQ creatives, straight allies, entertainers, authors, musicians, filmmakers, and changemakers.

On June 28th, 1969, New York City police expected another routine raid on a gay bar. Instead, they found a community that had finally had enough. This week, we explore the long history of anti-LGBTQ+ persecution in America, the explosive events of the Stonewall Riots, and how a few nights of resistance helped ignite the modern fight for queer liberation.

The Metropolitan Community Church of San Francisco (MCC-SF) was one of the first gay-positive Christian churches. During the height of the AIDS crisis, it was a place where hundreds of LGBTQ Christians found community, sustenance, and healing as they grappled with the illness and death of the epidemic. When We All Get to Heaven, a 10-episode audio documentary series produced by Eureka Street Productions and distributed by Slate, follows queer Christians caught between two communities: a religious world that said gays had no place, and a gay rights movement that said God had no place.

This week we're doing things a little differently. We're taking a look at two crucial queer short films and a feature from the time before the Stonewall Riots forced the gay liberation struggle to the fore. We're looking at Fireworks, a 1947 avant garde short from one of LA's weirdest guys, Kenneth Anger. Next up is Picnic, a 1948 silent short from Curt Harrington, director of What's The Matter With Helen. We wrap things up with Winter Kept Us Warm, the Canadian feature from David Secter. It's an important film in the history of queer cinema as well as Canadian cinema. It was the first Canadian movie to run at Cannes and influenced many Canadian filmmakers that followed.

In this episode Tommy and Dayna watch and react to episode 5 of Queer as Folk season 1.

Today on the Artalogue, one of my favourite Canadian painters, Janna Watson, chats with me about her art career, being Queer and taking inspiration from nature. Janna Watson is a Toronto-based abstract painter whose paintings use colour, drag marks, contrast, and negative space to reframe spirituality as something embodied, flexible, and alive. She also intentionally avoids borders, letting the edges stay vulnerable and infinite. We start with her earliest memories of art, shaped by two artist grandparents and a formative critique from her grandfather: “it needs to be wilder.” From there, Watson breaks down how intuition is built through repetition and risk, why “mistakes” often become the strongest moments in a painting, and how she sees herself in collaboration with her tools. We also talk about influences she returns to, what she chooses to collect at home, and how nature, especially the sky, becomes her favourite form of inspiration in abstraction because it changes constantly and belongs to all of us.Because this conversation lands during Pride month, Watson shares her experience as a Queer artist raised in a Pentecostal church, including the  being outed, and how finding queer community in Toronto expanded her sense of self, God, and possibility. She explains what it means to “queer the painting process” through working on the floor, building compositions with multiple orientations. We close with career highlights, discuss sobriety, her new book “Layers of Self,” and practical advice for emerging painters who want a sustainable studio practice. We also have a really great discussion about complicating the Canadian canon! If this resonates, subscribe, share the episode with an artist friend, and leave a review so more people can find these stories of art, identity, and creative freedom.

In honor of Pride, this episode is a love letter to queer family building. I've pulled my favorite moments from conversations with LGBTQ+ parents, a fertility doctor, a midwife, a donor‑conceived person, and queer influencers who've built their families through donor conception and surrogacy. Together, they share how they answer intrusive questions, how they talk to their kids about donors and surrogates, and how they've learned to fully embrace the families they fought so hard to create. We talk about: • Navigating fertility clinics, donor conception, and surrogacy as queer intended parents • What to actually say when people ask, “But who's the real mom/dad?” • Age‑appropriate language for talking to children about donors and surrogates • Grief, joy, and pride on the path to queer parenthood • How our families feel now that their children are here If you're using reproductive medicine, donor conception, or surrogacy to build your family, you are not alone. This episode is meant to sit beside you in the messy middle, give you words when you're tongue‑tied, and remind you that your family is real, valid, and worthy of celebration.

Images of bathers have recurred in art through the ages, and their depictions tell us something about attitudes toward human bodies, sex, gender, cleanliness, and much more. In his dissertation research, art historian Jay Buchanan, PhD candidate at Washington University in St. Louis, analyses images of bathers in bathtubs, swimming pools, beaches, and bathhouses to understand the changing cultural valence of bathing relevant to its sensual and sexual dimensions. Buchanan used several collections in the Hagley Library, including Ernst Dichter, Fingerman, William Pahlmann, and more, to recreate the material culture of bathing and swimming in the nineteenth- and twentieth-century United States. In support of his research, Buchanan received funding from the Center for the History of Business, Technology, and Society at the Hagley Museum and Library.

Un mystérieux virus fait des ravages dans la communauté gay de Paris, transformant radicalement les hommes en hétérosexuels, fans de foot et apôtres du patriarcat : ce scénario de cauchemar pour ses héros, c'est celui de Jim Queen, long métrage d'animation qui a fait sensation au dernier festival de Cannes où il était projeté en séance de minuit. Il vient de sortir en salle en France et est sélectionné au festival international d'animation d'Annecy. Jim Parfait est un influenceur star de la communauté gay de Paris. Il contracte un nouveau virus qui fait des ravages dans le quartier du Marais : l'hétérose. Ceux qui en sont affectés se mettent à commettre des fashion faux-pas (associant chaussettes et claquettes, par exemple), tombent amoureux de femmes ou deviennent incollables sur le hors-jeu au football. Jim, cet homme qui cultive son corps à la salle de gym, va-t-il y succomber ? Trouvera-t-il un antidote ? Accompagné de Lucien, un « twink » qui n'assume pas son homosexualité, il va partir à la recherche du mystérieux docteur Ragoult qui aurait, dit-il, concocté la « Chloroqueer », un remède miracle. Avec les deux réalisateurs, Marco Nguyen et Nicolas Athané, nous parlons du scénario loufoque de Jim Queen, qui décrit les différentes tribus composant la communauté gay et est une véritable ode à la tolérance et à l'acceptation de soi. À l'affiche de notre cinéma également cette semaine, le festival international d'animation d'Annecy qui se tient du 21 au 27 juin 2026. Nous en parlons avec le délégué artistique Marcel Jean. Musiques : Jim, de Todrick Hall (le groupe Kirosène signe la bande originale du film Jim Queen) et Back outside, de BNXN Sarz (Playlist Rfi).

This week, we're exploring themes of identity, belonging, and self-discovery within the Practical Magic universe. We take a closer look at how love, family, acceptance, and authenticity weave through the Owens family saga.We'll discuss character journeys that challenge expectations, examine some of the fandom's most popular theories, and explore why stories about outsiders, chosen family, and finding the courage to be yourself continue to resonate so deeply with readers and viewers. Along the way, we'll touch on the historical and cultural influences that may have shaped these narratives and why they remain so meaningful today.SOCIALS:⁠Link Tree⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠QUIBEY SOURCESDISCLAIMER:The Magnolia Street Podcast intends to discuss the movie, “Practical Magic” in its entirety.

In celebration of Pride Month, each Friday in June we're re-sharing our favorite episodes featuring LGBTQ+ voices from the Wildfire community.Ash Davidson was diagnosed with breast cancer at 42, a diagnosis discovered during gender-affirming surgery. In this episode, Ash reads his essay, “Longing to Belong,” from Wildfire Journal's 2024 “Queer In Cancerland” issue. His story explores the unique challenges of navigating cancer as a trans man within a medical system that often overlooks the diverse experiences and identities that make up the cancer community.April and Ash discuss what it has been like to share his story repeatedly, building and finding queer support in cancer spaces, and the desire to advocate for greater inclusion within the cancer community. They also reflect on their relationships with scars, feeling unsafe in one's body, and navigating intimacy after breast cancer.More about Ash: https://www.instagram.com/transashtoning/Continue exploring stories from Wildfire Journal's “Queer in Cancerland” issue with Slowing Down to Write One Moment, featuring Dawn Amodeo: https://player.captivate.fm/episode/a082c76d-bd6e-4345-adc5-2b3ac29af98f/Purchase the “Queer In Cancerland” issue of Wildfire Journal: https://www.wildfirecommunity.org/shop/p/queerincancerland24Buy the Wildfire book Igniting the Fire Within: Stories of Healing, Hope & Humor, Inside Today's Young Breast Cancer Community: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BJVJ629F?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860Get the free Wildfire “Hot Flashes” email newsletter: https://www.wildfirecommunity.org/newsletter?rq=newsletterLearn about Wildfire writing workshops: https://www.wildfirecommunity.org/workshops*Free* Get Wildfire and The Burn freebies here: https://www.wildfirecommunity.org/freeMore about Wildfire Journal: https://www.wildfirecommunity.orghttps://www.instagram.com/wildfire_bc_magazine/https://www.facebook.com/wildfirecommunityInformation on submitting your story for consideration to be published in Wildfire Journal: https://www.wildfirecommunity.org/submissions

THIS GAY WEEK: Turkey Cracks Down, Japan Opens Up — LGBTQ Rights Head in Opposite Directions THIS GAY WEEK | June 19, 2026 The fight for LGBTQ equality is taking dramatically different turns around the world. This week, Karel and Scott Jacobsen of The Good Men Project join forces live from Kyiv, Ukraine, to break down the biggest LGBTQ news stories making headlines worldwide. ⚾ Pride Night controversy is exploding in professional baseball. After high-profile clashes involving Pride celebrations, some players are drawing attention by displaying Bible verses while teams struggle to balance inclusion, religion, and fan expectations. One team made headlines by choosing LGBTQ inclusion over competition, even forfeiting a game rather than abandoning Pride Night.

Where do queer people gather?In honor of Pride Month, we're looking at those sanctuary spaces where LGBTQ+ people can celebrate, strategize, and simply exist…especially amidst a hostile political climate and lackluster feelings about corporate Pride.Brittany is joined by Erik Piepenburg, author of Dining Out, First Dates, Defiant Nights, and Last Call Disco Fries at America's Gay Restaurants and Diners, and Lucas Hilderbrand, author of The Bars are Ours: Histories and Cultures of Gay Bars in America, 1960 and After to bring us out of the bars and into diners, crafts circles, book clubs, and other third spaces where queer folks are finding community and joy.For more episodes queer life?

This week, Diosa and Mala discuss some of the films that made them feel seen, represented, or upon rewatching can now be considered queer film cannon. They dive into explicitly queer films, like "But I'm A Cheerleader", "Quinceañera", and "Mosquita y Mari" and more subtle queer films like "Mulan" and "Y Tú Mamá También." Diosa reveals the bisexual blues she feels each Pride season and Mala offers a fun solution. SOME UPDATES: RSVP to our Podcast Pop Up: All That Wifey Shit is Dead with Carissa Hernandez.

This month on Laura Flanders and Friends, we're revisiting conversations around solidarity, kinship and what it means to be human.  This week we celebrate Marsha P Johnson's life and legacy with two trans activists who are carrying on her work.  This show is made possible by you!  Make a one off donation or make it monthly at LauraFlanders.org/donate.  Episode Description: Activist and artist Marsha P. Johnson was one of the key founders of the gay liberation movement after the 1969 Stonewall Uprising, but it's taken years for her to receive recognition. On this special Pride Month edition of “Meet the BIPOC Press”, we're celebrating Marsha's life and legacy with two activists carrying her story forward. A new biography from Penguin House, “Marsha: The Joy and Defiance of Marsha P. Johnson” by our guest, Tourmaline traces Marsha's working-class beginnings to her work with sex workers and street activists, to her death in 1992. Qween Jean is a self-described “spiritual daughter” of Marsha and the founder of Black Trans Liberation. Explore how mainstream media coverage once excluded Marsha, and what's changed since then. We also unpack the media's coverage of transphobia and the recent ruling from Tennessee that restricts gender-affirming care for minors. In the face of extreme backlash and repression, how are artists and activists reframing media narratives for queer and trans liberation? “A lot of trans and queer people, especially here in New York City, that are asylum seekers that have had to leave other countries from persecution now find themselves in a place of purgatory . . . They can't even go to get a hormone shot because they're afraid. What if ICE is literally outside waiting for us?” - Qween Jean “Marsha knew that these conditions didn't get to determine how she felt about herself. No court, no Supreme Court, no police officer, no governor, no president . . . She was creating the conditions to remind herself and each other that we too get to feel beautiful and know our value firmly.” - Tourmaline Guests: •  Qween Jean: Founder, Black Trans Liberation; Human Rights Activist & Costume Designer  including 'CATS: The Jellicle Ball' on Broadway •  Tourmaline: Artist; Author, MARSHA: The Joy and Defiance of Marsha P. Johnson   Watch the episode released on YouTube; PBS World Channel 11:30am ET Sundays, and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

Have you ever noticed that many of the most iconic evil-doers in movies seem, well, pretty gay? Think Scar from the Lion King, Jafar from Aladdin, Ursula from The Little Mermaid, Miss Trunchbull from Matilda, Hannibal Lecter from Silence of the Lambs. We have often regarded this as a problem to fix, a literal villainization that has hurt the queer community's public image.
