From child actor to Disney star to pop icon dubbed "Lesbian Jesus," Hayley Kiyoko built a career creating the representation she never had as a half-Japanese, queer artist. In this episode of She Pivots, Hayley opens up about becoming a community's symbol practically overnight while still figuring herself out, and how she moved from leading with fear to leading with confidence and self-love. She also shares how she found her fiancée, Becca Tilley, and reflects on the decade-long journey that culminated in her Girls Like Girls film and album—a project that started with high school heartbreak twenty years ago. Happy Pride Month, Pivoters! Girls like girls is out NOW. See it in theatres and check out the companion Girls Like Girls album.

A woman miscarries and is charged with murder. A new mother tests positive for a drug her hospital administers and loses custody of her newborn. Four women are convicted of horrific crimes against children they never touched, based on junk science and homophobia and spend nearly twenty years in prison before being exonerated. A queer teenager takes a photo of a child's diaper rash at work and is sentenced to 126 years. These cases are not aberrations. They are symptoms of a system that punishes women and queer people not for what they have done, but for who they are. In the United States, nearly three-quarters of all wrongly convicted women were convicted of crimes that never occurred at all. Valena Beety, co-founder of the Indiana Innocence Project and award-winning legal scholar cited by Justice Sonia Sotomayor, reveals how ordinary tragedies—a child's sudden death, a husband who dies in his sleep—are transformed by prosecutors into murders that never happened. These “no crime” convictions disproportionately target women and queer people, whose identities are recast as evidence of guilt through bias, junk science, and entrenched stereotypes. Drawing on devastating real-life cases, Professor Beety exposes how prosecutorial overreach, flawed forensic science, and cultural panic converge—and how fetal personhood laws, the fall of Roe v. Wade, and anti-LGBTQ+ legislation have dramatically expanded the reach of criminal law. What emerges is a chilling portrait of a legal system that increasingly criminalizes pregnancy outcomes, motherhood, and queer identity itself. Guest: A wrongful convictions litigator and former federal prosecutor, Valena Beety is the McKinney Professor of Law at Indiana University-Bloomington Maurer School of Law and a co-founder of the Indiana Innocence Project.

In this week's episode, hosts Ryan Baxter and Mark Ambrogio interview Jasmine Proctor, a PhD candidate in Media Studies, in Western's Faculty of Information and Media Studies (FIMS). Jasmine ("Jazz") is interested in how queer K-pop fan communities negotiate gender and sexuality through transcultural networked fan labour across digital platforms. Ryan and Mark ask Jazz about the emergence of K-pop and the interesting phenomenon of K-pop's mass appeal to a North American audience. More broadly, they discuss fandom, popular music, and popular culture. Jasmine also discusses the PhD program in Media Studies and helpful ways of de-stressing, including running, listening to music (of course), and reading. For further information on Jasmine's research: Jasmine Proctor Profile Jasmine's doctoral supervisor is Dr. Norma Coates, cross-listed between FIMS and Western's Faculty of Music. Recorded on Tuesday, May 26, 2026 Produced by Mark Ambrogio, with help from Ryan Baxter Theme song provided by FreeBeats.io (Produced by WhiteHot)

What happens when diet culture gets louder, ARFID awareness grows, social media becomes therapy language, and the pressure to be thin starts shaping everyday life again? In this episode of The Dr. Marianne-Land Podcast, I sit down with Lisa Jimenez (@lisajimeneztherapy) for a deeply honest conversation about what eating disorder therapists are actually seeing in 2026. We talk about the resurgence of appearance pressure, the subtle ways eating disorders can hide in plain sight, why more people are finally recognizing ARFID, and how identity, neurodivergence, trauma, and culture all shape recovery. This episode explores the realities many people quietly live with but rarely hear discussed out loud. Lisa Jimenez, LMHC, is an eating disorder therapist based in Miami who specializes in eating disorders, body image, anxiety, trauma, perfectionism, and work with teens, young adults, and queer clients. In this conversation, she shares how her own lived experience with an eating disorder shaped her approach to therapy and why she shifted toward EMDR, parts work, and more collaborative, relational treatment approaches. ARFID, Neurodivergence, and the Changing Eating Disorder Landscape Lisa and I discuss why ARFID is becoming more recognized and why many clinicians are still trying to catch up with the complexity of the diagnosis. We explore how sensory sensitivities, neurodivergence, attachment, trauma, and family dynamics can all affect eating. We also talk about why ARFID treatment requires much more than exposure work alone and why creating emotional and sensory safety matters so deeply in recovery. We also discuss the overlap between eating disorders, autism, ADHD, anxiety, perfectionism, and trauma, along with the growing role social media now plays in helping people identify experiences they previously could not name. Diet Culture, Social Media, and the Pressure to Be Thin in 2026 Diet culture feels especially aggressive right now, and this episode explores how that pressure shows up in both obvious and subtle ways. Lisa and I talk about “clean eating,” wellness culture, compulsive exercise messaging, “what I eat in a day” content, GLP-1 conversations, and the growing normalization of disordered behaviors online. We also discuss how eating disorders often hide behind socially praised behaviors, especially when restriction, over-exercising, or body control become culturally rewarded instead of recognized as signs of distress. Eating Disorders in Larger Bodies This conversation also explores how eating disorders frequently go unnoticed in larger bodies and how weight stigma continues to affect treatment, diagnosis, and recovery. Lisa and I discuss the harmful assumption that eating disorders must “look extreme” to be serious and why many people receive praise for behaviors that are actually rooted in restriction and suffering. We also talk about medical bias, healthcare experiences, and the reality that people can experience anorexia and severe eating disorder symptoms across a wide range of body sizes. Queer Identity, Intersectionality, and Eating Disorders Lisa shares insights from her work with queer clients, teens, and neurodivergent individuals, and we explore how identity and environment intersect with eating disorders in complex ways. We discuss cultural expectations around appearance, family and community pressures, social media influence, and the realities many queer and neurodivergent people face while navigating food and body image struggles. The conversation also examines how eating disorders often function as coping strategies for overwhelm, emotional pain, disconnection, or the pressure to survive in environments that do not feel safe or affirming. Connect With Lisa Jimenez, LMHC Instagram: @lisajimeneztherapy Website: lisajimeneztherapy.com Lisa sees clients virtually throughout Florida and New York and in person in South Miami.

Cabaret Voltaire are no one thing. Depending on which corner of the internet you found us from, you might know them as the caustic Sheffield noise act who preceded post-punk, the sinister electro-industrial outfit with a penchant for evangelical samples and anti-fascist agitprop, or the dancefloor-adjacent act who fetched up on Factory's Belgian satellite label and made something close to club music. You're all correct.This week, we have a guide. Phil Eaglesham — P6, former front person of Stretchheads and De Salvo, current singer in OMO, musical walking tour operator, man of broad and alarming musical learnings — is here to help us navigate one of the most complex and wilfully uncommercial bands to come out of the UK, via their transitional compilation Eight Crepuscule Tracks.We trace the band's origins in a Sheffield attic in 1973, chart their debts to dub, Black American music, and the sci-fi soundscapes that shaped a generation of working-class ears, and make the case that Cabaret Voltaire — despite their apparent difficulty — were one of the most industrious and fundamentally political bands of their era. We also get into their time at Western Works Studio, which functioned less like a recording facility and more like the gravitational centre of an entire Sheffield scene; their complicated relationship with Rough Trade; and their connections to Joy Division, Lydia Lunch, Clock DVA, and the bands that would become the Human League and ABC.Along the way, Phil brings original artefacts including a signed 1979 TG/Cab Vol/Rema Rema poster from Tottenham Court Road, and the original 12-inches the album is built from. We also ask what would have happened to Cabaret Voltaire without punk — and conclude they'd likely have ended up an academic footnote rather than a foundational text.

Suga' with Bundle of Sticks: Black Queer Identity, Gender Freedom, and Healing Through ArtI'm so glad to welcome back Dazié Grego-Sykes and Derrick Miller-Handley of Bundle of Sticks Art Collective for a conversation about their upcoming performance ritual, Suga'. This art collective has spent over 25 years exploring the intersection of Blackness and queerness through performance art, visual art, and community building — and their newest work may be their most personal yet.Suga' is an immersive performance ritual in which Derrick steps into the performer role for the first time in over 20 years, using art as a vehicle for gender identity exploration, radical self-acceptance, and spiritual healing. We talk about what it means to exist outside of society's containers, the power of Black ancestry as a spiritual resource, and why embracing your authentic self is an act of liberation.If you're in the Bay Area, Suga' runs May 29–31 at Eastside Arts Alliance in Oakland.

In light of the Colorado Supreme Court case Charles v. Salazar and prior conversation with Julia Sadusky and other conversations with Side X guests, we dig into Conversion Therapy (also called Reparative or Reintegrative Therapy), particularly how it intersects notions around the fluidity of sexuality. Reports on sexual fluidity opens new questions to the ethics of conversation therapies, and maybe different analysis has to why the “change is possible” narratives (e.g. Exodus Ministries) were so destructive. But maybe alternative approaches like “bisexual responsiveness” via Camille Paglia (see the linked Cracks in Postmodernity essay) suggest a different outlook on the whole affair, and open doors to intriguing considerations of the queer experience and same-sex friendship/romantic friendship.References:A fascinating article with so many intriguing quotes:Cracks in Postmodernity: Conversion Therapy vs. Bisexual ResponsivenessOur episodes about/with Side X guests:#54 - Side B & Side X in Dialogue: With Jason Thompson from Portland Fellowship#48 - What Is Transformation? with Agape First Ministries#41 - Unexpected Shifts: Josh's Story of Prayer, Healing, and Attraction#35 - Marco Casanova on Integration, Healing, and OrientationTime Stamps:00:00 Have you thought of joining us at Revoice?02:31 Kinship Lab on Conversion Therapy04:09 Sexual Fluidity Debate06:33 Tyler's Harvard Story10:46 Exodus and Pray Away Documentary14:39 Modern Reorientation Claims19:14 Identity Versus Desire/Attraction24:25 Side B Growth and Chastity28:19 Defining Attraction, Sanctification and Bisexual Responsiveness35:36 On Noticing Beauty and Desire40:53 Paglia and Rigid Labels45:50 Sexual Category Origins, Queer Identity, and Fluidity51:29 Friendship Versus Therapy57:14 Chastity and Same Sex Love01:04:35 Romantic Friendship Debate01:06:07 Humility and Closing Thoughts Get full access to New Kinship at newkinship.substack.com/subscribe

BIBLIOTECA SUBMERSA é a nova série de episódios do Podcast da Raphus Press, uma ironia bastante séria com o conceito de canônico e marginal, de popular e elitista, de aceito e não aceito, a partir das obras de autores que, aparentemente, tinham alguma influência (ou relevância) de certas obras ou autores no passado e que, hoje, parecem ausentes das livrarias, cadernos culturais, canais de vídeo na Internet. Nossa inspiração é Jorge Luis Borges e uma conhecida citação de Virginia Woolf: “Livros usados são selvagens, destituídos; surgem em grandes bandos de penas variadas e possuem certo encanto que falta aos volumes domesticados de uma biblioteca.” Episódio de hoje: Obra-prima (ocultista) ignorada (“Dhoula Bel”, de P. B. Randolph)Obras citadas: “Dhoula Bel, or The Magic Globe”, P. B. Randolph (Occult Press, 2024); “The Sacred Conspiracy: The Internal Papers of the Secret Society of Acéphale and Lectures to the College of Sociology”, Marina Galletti e Alastair Brotchie (orgs.)

In this episode of arts24, we meet Ghanaian-Dutch visual artist Joel Quayson, who won the 2025 Dior Prize for Photography and Visual Arts for Young Talents, one of the most closely watched awards in contemporary photography. Born to Ghanaian parents and raised in the Netherlands within a devout Christian household, Quayson's work is shaped by the tension between faith, cultural heritage and queer self-expression. That deeply personal conflict lies at the heart of his prize-winning video "How do you feel?", now on view at Paris's Maison Européenne de la Photographie (MEP).
On episode 1 of Season 9 of The Surviving Siblings Podcast® host, Maya Roffler is joined by Stephen Stott who opens up about the tragic loss of his sister, Stacy, to a car accident 24 years ago. Stephen was just 16 when his life changed forever. After being "voluntold" to accompany his sister to a cheerleading camp six hours away, he shared a moment of deep personal truth with her the first person he ever came out to as queer. Just days later, on the drive home, they both fell asleep behind the wheel. Stacy didn't survive. Stephen did. What follows is a deeply moving story of grief, identity, movement, and healing. Stephen shares how he turned toward dance, breathwork, and somatic healing not only to honor Stacy's memory but to help others process grief in their own bodies. He also reflects on his decision to found Embrace the Darkness, a platform and resource space that embraces the hard and sacred work of grief, especially for queer siblings and those needing support outside of traditional therapy. This episode is about so much more than loss. It's about grief in the body, safe spaces for queer siblings, and what it means to move with your grief instead of away from it. In This Episode: (0:00:00) – Meet Stephen and Remembering Stacy Stephen shares who Stacy was, their sibling bond through movement, and the moment that changed everything. (0:04:00) – Movement as Medicine: Honoring Stacy Through Dance Stephen describes how continuing cheer, gymnastics, and dance helped him stay close to his sister and move through grief. (0:05:00) – Coming Out and Catastrophe: The Last Conversation Stephen tells the powerful story of coming out to his sister just days before the fatal car accident. It was the first time he told anyone he liked boys. (0:06:30) – The Car Accident and Immediate Aftermath He recalls the surreal moment of waking up in the hospital, already knowing deep in his bones that Stacy was gone. (0:08:00) – Back to School, No Time to Grieve Just a week after the accident, Stephen was thrown back into high school, sports, and work using distraction to survive. (0:11:00) – Survivor Guilt, Queer Identity, and Grieving Alone Stephen reflects on how his queer identity shaped his grief and how he struggled to find representation and resources. (0:14:00) – Why Queer Grief Spaces Are Essential Maya and Stephen dive into why queer-specific grief groups matter, and how judgment—even within sibling spaces can create harm. (0:21:00) – The Turning Point at 21: A Grief Conference Shifts Everything Stephen's mother encouraged him to attend a grief conference, where a simple dance skit helped him feel seen and opened a path toward healing. (0:25:00) – Becoming a Social Worker and Healing Through Service Stephen shares how his desire to help others evolved into a career in social work and ultimately into his grief-centered platform. (0:27:00) – Founding Embrace the Darkness He explains why toxic positivity doesn't work, and how this powerful name emerged from his belief that we must sit with the dark to truly heal. (0:43:00) – Parasympathetic Nervous System & Breathwork as Reset Maya and Stephen discuss how breathwork activates the vagus nerve and helps shift the body from chaos to calm. (0:47:00) – The Mission Moving Forward Stephen talks about his workshops, his work with siblings globally, and his dream to bring more somatic healing into the grief world. About Embrace the Darkness Stephen is the founder of Embrace The Darkness, a platform that provides breathwork, sibling grief support, and LGBTQ+-affirming spaces for healing.

While drag is a pop culture staple, its roots trace back to the historic Ballroom scene of the 1800s, where Black and Latinx communities built chosen families and celebrated identity through competitive balls. That legacy lives on today through drag performers who embrace fandom and storytelling with humor, heart, and cultural influence.In this episode, Heavens 2 Betsy Stratton, Miss Gay Pennsylvania America 2025, joins us to discuss the intersection of drag, Black queer identity, and the enduring influence of pop culture—including The Golden Girls—on self-expression and community building.Related Episodes:Listen to Episode 109.

Jo Jo Siwa BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.JoJo Siwa has been making headlines over the past week with a blend of personal milestones and public appearances that keep her firmly in the cultural conversation. Her romantic relationship with British reality star Chris Hughes has taken center stage, drawing attention both on social platforms and in the gossip columns. According to Attitude and AOL, JoJo and Chris just wrapped a dreamy Bahamas vacation where they adopted two cats for the week, played endless games of pool, tried golfing together, and went jet skiing. JoJo posted a candid Instagram tribute describing it as the most beautiful week with her “best friend and my love,” offering fans intimate snaps of their adventures and affectionate moments. These posts, heavily shared across Instagram where JoJo maintains over 11 million followers per HypeAuditor, were met with both adoration and debate, especially as her journey from coming out as lesbian to now self-identifying as queer with a male partner continues to spark discussion within the LGBTQ+ community.According to AOL and Attitude, JoJo and Chris made a highly publicized red carpet debut at the 2025 Dancers Against Cancer Gala of the Stars. Footage and images of their overt PDA, shared widely by media outlets, cemented the seriousness of their relationship and generated headlines highlighting JoJo Siwa's new chapter. Tabloids and fans alike referenced their soft-launch and subsequent official announcement of their romance, recounting the aftermath of her split from non-binary ex Kath Ebbs at the Celebrity Big Brother after-party this spring.Despite navigating backlash regarding her evolving identity, JoJo has doubled down on authenticity. Via Instagram Stories and in interviews cited by Us Weekly and CNN, she insisted, “Everyone's story is different and everyone's journey is different.” She called out critics questioning her sexuality as “a discredit to my life.” This messaging landed during Pride Month, amplifying her continued role as a high-visibility queer celebrity and champion for inclusivity.On the career front, after her high-profile cameo on the latest Selling Sunset season with Chrishell Stause, JoJo is reportedly exploring new entertainment ventures and brand expansions as she maintains a fortune estimated near $20 million according to Henry & Beaver. Her tour schedule remains packed with international dates, and merch sales through Bandsintown and other outlets show sustained fan enthusiasm. Socially, JoJo's Instagram reflected steady engagement rates despite minor fluctuations in follower count, suggesting a loyal fanbase amid public scrutiny.In sum, JoJo Siwa's week was defined by romance in the Bahamas, red carpet flair, new pet adoptions, a continued public dialogue on identity, and behind-the-scenes business moves. Each move continues to shape and redefine her public persona, keeping her in the spotlight and making her every headline worth watching.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Jo Jo Siwa BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.JoJo Siwa's public profile has been a whirlwind this week, marked by major red carpet moments, new relationship developments, and nuanced reflections on identity under the glare of the fame she's carried since childhood. The splashiest news comes from the recent red carpet debut with current boyfriend Chris Hughes, the British reality star she met on Celebrity Big Brother UK earlier this year. Siwa and Hughes didn't just show up at the Dancers Against Cancer Gala of the Stars in Beverly Hills on October 21—sources from People, Entertainment Now, and several major outlets confirm they embraced the spotlight as a new couple, trading jokes, glances, and public displays of affection, shifting from private romance to open relationship. The event was significant not just for their coupledom but for Siwa herself, who was honored with the Humanitarian Award by Dancers Against Cancer, recognizing ten years of charity work for dancers and families affected by cancer. Entertainement Now describes a viral moment during an E! News interview when Hughes surprised Siwa with news of the award—she was visibly emotional, laughing and crying in disbelief, later describing the honor and her relationship with Dancers Against Cancer as “the rhythm of hope and unity within the dance world.” The night was a confluence of professional validation and personal happiness, with Hughes presenting Siwa's award, and both moving seamlessly between the gravitas of philanthropy and the playfulness of new love.On the heels of the charity gala, Siwa gave a headline-making interview to CNN, addressing mounting criticism about her romantic relationship with Hughes—particularly from some corners of the queer community who've questioned whether dating a man means she's “moving away” from her long-held LGBTQ identity and activism. Siwa, who came out as pansexual and later identified as a lesbian before embracing the term “queer,” forcefully rejected the notion. She told CNN, “I will fight for the queer community until it's over. It's my people.” She was frank about the emotional toll of the scrutiny, revealing that she now sometimes “shells up” when meeting other LGBTQ people, uncertain if she'll be met with kindness or judgment. Parade notes Siwa's irritation with the viral “tradwife” label circulating online—a term she dismisses as silly, especially given her recent retro look for a “Bette Davis Eyes” music video, which she insists was just a costume. “It was basically a Halloween costume,” she clarified. “People really thought I was changing everything—like, damn, it was a good wig! I don't know where 'tradwife' came from.” The singer made clear that her evolving identity and her relationship with Hughes don't erase her advocacy or impact on young LGBTQ fans, adding, “So what, I'm in love with a man? That doesn't discredit my past at all.”Business-wise, there are no major announcements or deals noted in the past few days, but Siwa's brand remains a staple in merchandising and youth entertainment. Social media channels have been active, especially around her charity appearance and award, but there's no evidence of a full-blown social media break or account restriction—just the typical ebb and flow of a star who knows how to keep her audience engaged. For a 22-year-old who grew up in the public eye, Siwa's week has been a masterclass in handling both the euphoria of a well-earned salute and the complexities of being understood—or misunderstood—on a global stage. There is no verified speculation about future business ventures or new artistic projects in the past few days, but Siwa's philanthropic and advocacy work, especially with Dancers Against Cancer, continues to be a central part of her public identity. As she balances newfound romance, fresh backlash, and abiding recognition for her charity, JoJo Siwa's life right now is a portrait of a young woman in transition—steadfast in some convictions, open to new chapters, and always, it seems, ready to engage with both love and criticism head-on.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Rooted in introspection and symbolism, queer astrology can help individuals reclaim their narratives and connect more deeply with their authentic selves.In this episode, Danny Santos, an astrologer, tarot expert, and psychic medium, joins us to explore how spiritual tools like astrology can support queer individuals in navigating identity, healing, and connection during times of transformation.Related Episodes:Listen to 79.

Por Yaiza Santos Después de criticar a Santos por no pronunciar el apellido Alemany en lengua valenciana y demorarse en explicar los entresijos de la vagina voraci, arremetió contra lo dicho por el Rey en el triste congreso en Arequipa. «Ninguna lengua nació como barrera». ¡Mentira!, clamó. Las lenguas sí son aduanas, y han marcado los territorios como el orín de los perros. La diversidad de lenguas, resumió, forma parte del pensamiento literario a extirpar del mundo. Lo tiene muy desconcertado la resolución del juez Leopoldo Puente. Y no por haber dejado en libertad a Ábalos –como se sabe, no es partidario de la prisión preventiva–, sino por haber sugerido que el riesgo de fuga «es creciente» y, peor aún, por instar al Congreso a revisar que el imputado siga siendo diputado. ¿Dónde está la presunción de inocencia a la que se debe el juez? Cuánto se confunden hoy en España los papeles. Celebró el Premio Nobel de la Paz a María Corina Machado en un doble sentido, en sí mismo y por el bochorno que ha supuesto para el Gobierno de Pedro Sánchez. Pero quiso detenerse en el de Economía a Joel Mokyr. Un premio contra los cenizos, ciertamente. El crecimiento es el único método para reducir las desigualdades y en él influye decisivamente los avances tecnológicos. No es menor aquel estudio de Mokyr hace veinte años en el que mostraba cómo la Revolución industrial no pudo haberse dado sin la idea de que el conocimiento es el motor del progreso material. Santos le trajo el burning paper de Kaufmann que está levantando la ira de la comunidad queer y le dijo lo que faltaba por decirse en ese programa En Primicia: está cada vez más guapo. Y fue así que Espada yiró.

Freddie Sayers sits down with Professor of Politics at the University of Buckingham, Eric Kaufmann, to discuss his latest report on “The Decline of Trans and Queer Identity among Young Americans”, which reveals a significant and surprising shift in the landscape of gender and sexual identity among Generation Z. Professor Kaufmann explains his findings, which show a sharp drop in both trans and queer identification since 2023. Drawing on data from large-scale surveys of US undergraduates, he details how the share of trans-identified students has nearly halved in just two years. Their discussion explores the data, including trends in elite institutions, and delves into the potential reasons for this decline. Is it linked to changes in mental health, the growing distance from the pandemic and lockdowns, or the so-called “anti-woke” vibe shift? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Many gay men grow up internalizing social norms that dictate how they should act, love, or present themselves—distorting their sense of self and making it harder to connect authentically with others. But we can begin to heal when we embrace radical acceptance, challenge outdated narratives, and learn to show up for ourselves with compassion.In this episode, Sam Fogarty, a licensed therapist and clinical supervisor at myTherapyNYC, joins us to explore the power of affirming, authenticity-centered therapy and how we can begin to unlearn shame by making space for a more expansive, self-loving version of ourselves.Related Episodes:Listen to Episode 121.

Hello! We are back from our winter break with an incredible episode with Emily, founder of the @emily.the.meal.dealer, and a queer, single parent.Emily (they/them) has done something pretty amazing - they have built a business grounded in community and care while navigating a marriage separation, figuring out co-parenting, and getting to know themselves as a queer person.We got the opportunity and joy to speak with Emily 3 years on from the point of building their business, and it was such a privilege to hear their reflections and insights in looking back. Emily is kind, thoughtful, and generous with their story.

We engage in a deep conversation with Luke Wilson, a Canadian scholar, about his experiences growing up in a fundamentalist environment and the impact of conversion therapy on LGBTQ+ individuals. Luke shares his journey from being a teenage fundamentalist to confronting his sexuality, his time at Liberty University, and the harrowing experiences of conversion therapy. The discussion highlights the psychological and emotional toll of these practices, the importance of community support, and the need for awareness and advocacy against conversion therapy. Luke's book, 'Shame Sex Attraction: Survivor Stories of Conversion Therapy,' serves as a powerful testament to the resilience of survivors and the continuing but urgent need for change in church attitudes towards LGBTQ+ individuals.Where to get Shame-Sex AttractionIn AustraliaIn the U.S.In the U.K. Luke on social media:Instagram: @lukeslamdunkwilsonThreads: @lukeslamdunkwilsonBluesky: @lukeslamdunkwilson.bsky.socialTwitter/X: @wilson_fwLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lucas-wilson-2a0753b1/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/luke.wilson.96List of Books/ResourcesBrandan Robertson's Queer & Christian: Reclaiming the Bible, Our Faith, and Our Place at the TableMatthew Vines' God and the Gay Christian: The Biblical Case in Support of Same-Sex RelationshipsJustin Lee's Torn: Rescuing the Gospel from the Gays-vs.-Christians DebateLinks:TakeawaysLuke was raised in a Fellowship Evangelical Baptist environment.He became involved in the church during high school.His family had a mix of religious beliefs, influencing his journey.Luke's youth group experience was shaped by his desire for acceptance.He felt pressure to conform to religious expectations regarding his sexuality.Luke attended Liberty University, a prominent evangelical institution.He was heavily involved in campus activities and leadership roles.The church provided a way for Luke to mask his sexuality.He reflects on the challenges of reconciling faith and identity.Luke's academic work focuses on the harms of conversion therapy.

Local author Mac Crane's latest book "A Sharp Endless Need" draws from their own experience as a former Division I basketball player.
Long before becoming an award-winning educator, public speaker, and podcaster (of BFF: Black, Fat, Femme), Dr. Jonathan P. Higgins (aka Doctor Jon Paul) was just a kid sneaking movies while mom was at work. One of those films, 1993's This Boy's Life, became one of their favorites. That was in large part thanks to the aspirational friendship of main character Tobias "Jack" Wolff (Leonardo DiCaprio) and the closeted but undeniable Arthur Gayle. Doctor Jon Paul and Jordan discuss the film, the new book Black. Fat. Femme: Revealing the Power of Visibly Queer Voices in Media and Learning to Love Yourself, and transformational power of intersectional friendship and storytelling.Speaking of intersectional storytelling, Jordan has one quick thing about the new Ryan Coogler heater, SINNERS.***With Jordan Crucchiola and Dr Jon Paul Higgins Feeling Seen is hosted by Jordan Crucchiola and is a production Maximum Fun.Need more Feeling Seen?

We discuss the importance of safe touch, the wisdom of the body, and how trauma can resurface during significant life events like childbirth. Nikki bravely shares her experience of remembering and processing sexual trauma, and how feeling truly safe for the first time allowed her to explore and acknowledge her queer identity in her late 30s.Key Takeaways:The vital importance of trusting your body's wisdom and finding practitioners who will listen to and honour that wisdomHow feeling safe can unlock deeper understanding of ourselves and our authentic identitiesThe complex journey of coming out later in life while maintaining existing relationships and family dynamicsThe challenges of navigating polyamory when partners are monogamousThe significance of having proper support and poly-informed therapists when exploring non-traditional relationship structuresNikki reminds us that healing isn't linear - it's more like an infinity sign where we revisit similar themes but with greater awareness each time.
