He's a first example of what it means to be a "gay dipshit" (his words, we promise). Then Jordan has quick thing about a couple of queer movies you may have missed!Listen to Hot White Heist***With Jordan Crucchiola and Adam Goldman

We've come a long way regarding LGBTQ+ media representation, with 92 LGBTQ+ characters appearing on scripted broadcast primetime programming for the 2021-2022 season.

There's no such thing as a “little” Wagner. Host Jane Trembley catches up with internationally acclaimed mezzo-soprano Jamie Barton in anticipation of the epic Santa Fe Opera debut of Tristan und Isolde. The pair chat about the thrill of performing this legendary tale of love and betrayal––and why Richard Wagner's music is totally worth leaving the house for! Jamie also discusses interpreting her characters through a queer lens and transcending the score to create meaningful art. “I love this character!” says Jamie of the empathetic Brangäne. “She reminds me of myself in a lot of ways.” For this production, loyal maid Brangäne is cast as Isolde's sibling. That sisterly bond provides a fresh emotional counterpoint to the titular lovers' physical attraction. Exploring such nuances suits Jamie, a big, queer girl who advocates for bringing one's whole self to the stage. “My job is to story-tell, and one of the baseline things I allow myself to do is come with my own honest perspective.” Jamie, a self-professed Wagner nerd, asserts that Tristan und Isolde sets the bar for all other works in the German composer's canon, if not all of modern musical composition. “It's overwhelming! This particular opera inspired so much of the 20th-century stuff that we know.” Still, some folks might need additional coaxing to venture out. For them, Jamie plays her most persuasive card: The Crosby Theatre itself. “We're starting this before sunset, so there'll be this daytime-to-nighttime transition. That's an element that's difficult to get in any other sort of typical theater.” FEATURING Jamie Barton – Mezzo-Soprano Website Instagram Twitter TikTok Facebook CREDITS Destination Santa Fe Opera is a Santa Fe Opera podcast, produced and edited by Andrea Klunder at The Creative Impostor Studios.

Last season, The Prom leapt onto the Broadway scene, delighting audiences with an original queer-themed musical just in time for the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots. In The Prom, teenage lesbian Emma Nolan is banned from attending her high school prom with her girlfriend, Alyssa. When a group of narcissistic Broadway performers hear the news, they travel to Indiana to help Emma and pick up some good press along the way. While this premise sounds quite humorous — which it is, The Prom also moved audiences with its great heart and depth. This week, we asked Caitlin Kinnunen, who received a Tony nomination for originating the role of Emma, into the studio to chat about her experience as a queer actress bringing this role to life. In addition to The Prom, Caitlin has performed on Broadway in Spring Awakening and The Bridges of Madison County. Here’s our conversation… Learn more about your ad choices.

C’est à cette période qu’aurait dû avoir lieu la Gay Pride 2020 qui a finalement été repoussée en novembre à cause du coronavirus. Mais l’équipe de Puzzle a quand même voulu rendre hommage à la communauté LGBTQ+ en lui dédiant une semaine spéciale. C’est parti pour la semaine de la fierté. Dans cet épisode, Karen Etourneau vous parle d'une dessinatrice particulièrement talentueuse : Tillie Walden.Tillie Walden, une des rares autrices à parler d'amour lesbienElle s’est faite connaître en 2015, alors qu’elle avait seulement 19 ans, grâce à la BD "The end of summer", l’histoire de jumeaux enfermés dans un château à l’approche d’un hiver qui va durer 3 ans. L’année suivante, elle publie "I love this part". Elizabeth et Rae, les deux héroïnes, sont deux adolescentes, liées par une amitié fusionnelle. En se dévoilant de plus en plus l’une à l’autre, leurs sentiments grandissent, jusqu’à se transformer en une forte histoire d’amour. En plus d’être une très belle BD, avec des personnages surdimensionnés par rapport aux décors, ce qui donne encore plus d’intensité à leur relation, c’est une des rares BD à parler d’amour lesbien à l’adolescence.Les œuvres mettant en scènes des personnages LGBTQ+ encore trop raresLes oeuvres mettant en scène des personnages lesbiens, mais aussi gays, bi, trans, pan, non-binaires ou autres sont malheureusement trop rares et pourtant nécessaires. C’est important de montrer qu’aimer une personne du même genre ou de tous les genres c’est OK, que ne se reconnaître dans aucun des genres existants c’est OK aussi. Bref, que toutes les sexualités et les identités de genres sont valables. Du coup, pour que les personnes minorisées puissent se retrouver dans les oeuvres de fictions, c’est important d’identifier les films, séries, livres, jeux vidéos avec des personnages LGBTQ+.Le décryptage de Karen Etourneau dans cet épisode.Toute cette semaine, l'équipe de Puzzle nous parle du mouvement LGBTQ+.

That’s right - host Jackson Cline heads Off-Broadway for today’s episode! When he was doing my initial research for this series, many of the examples of queer representation that I found interesting happened to be produced off-Broadway. However, due to timing, he sadly made the choice to cut all of that from our history episode. He thought it’d be fun to dig deeper into those shows while in quarantine. Here’s the result!

Recently, Jackson Cline of The Ensemblist has been asking several questions about queer representation in musical theatre. How has the portrayal and inclusion of queer characters evolved over the years? Are more queer artists getting opportunities to tell these stories, both onstage and behind the scenes? And does giving queer-identifying individuals opportunities to create queer roles create a richer theatrical experience for the audience? Over the course of this mini-series, we’ll dive into these questions and hear from some of the talented artists who have put their stamps on Queer Characters on Broadway. Today, we’re going to take a journey through time, looking at the evolution of queer stories told in Broadway musicals. So, jump into your time machines, and let’s head back to 1969.

What was all the fuss about in the Arthur episode "Mr. Ratburn and the Special Someone?" What's really going on in the episode "Reunion" from Steven Universe? What does representation look like now? Whose stories are getting told and who is doing the telling? How far have we come? Links The Complete History of Queer Characters in Cartoon Shows
The Disasters is M.K. England's debut young adult novel about a group of space academy washouts who are forced to step up and save the world after escaping a terrorist attack. It's a wildly entertaining romp through space that has been lauded for its nuanced representation of LGBTQIA characters and the way it handles mental health issues such as depression and anxiety. In this episode, I talk to England about these issues and more, including what it's like to write action scenes, how publishing a novel has changed the way England reads books, and how their experiences with National Novel Writing Month have affected their writing. I hope you enjoy it. Special Guest: M.K. England.
The representation of LGBTQ families in the media has been uneven, at best. Queer families are hungry to see themselves in print and on screen. Guests Sadie Epstein-Fine and Makeda Zook join the host to talk about their sagas of searching for representation (The Ellen Show VHS tapes are still floating around) and creating their own media with their new book, Spawning Generations.
This is a special episode where Amber Love hosted a workshop at the BCLS Fandom Fest in NJ for YA about LGBTQIA (queer) characters. To sponsor the show go to Patreon.com/amberunmasked.
