POPULARITY
While Diversity, Equity and Inclusivity (DEI) has been a topic of heated debate in the media of late, the call to value every person is nothing new—it's at the heart of the Gospel. Over 2,000 years ago, Jesus radically included those who were excluded and stood up against injustice; showing us how important diversity is and how we should be living our lives in a way that challenges all forms of discrimination, just as He did. This week Cherlyn Chia, Co-leads of MIC's Queer Women of Colour Life Group and MIC's Praise and Worship Ministry, generously shares moments from her own life that inspired her to look deeply into the significance of standing up for equity not only for her life, but for those around her, and looking into the bible to see God's plan for diversity.To support the ministry of Melbourne Inclusive Church go to: www.michurch.org.au/giveMelbourne Inclusive Church boldly and proudly proclaims Christ's equal love for all people regardless of their ability, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, age, gender, race, ethnicity, or culture.Melbourne Inclusive Church is part of the EMI Global family of churches.

Nicole Weaver of Black Bi Reality looks back at Love Is Blind Season 8 and how so many lgbtq women were involved. They often asked the tough questions on the Netflix show to the men, backed up their girls, and didn't back down. There is a good chance we'll see Madison Errichiello again on Perfect Match Season 3. But we should applaud more of the women this season.

Guest Aisya A. Zaharin talks queer women's Iftar , intersectionality, privilege and more
This week we're diving into some tough but necessary conversations. Iowa just became the first state to strip gender identity from its civil rights law, and the Pentagon is actively targeting trans service members, forcing them out of the military. But in the face of these attacks, we also have stories of resilience—like a major lawsuit challenging Trump's executive orders and my exciting new role as the newsletter coordinator for BLACKlines, keeping Black LGBTQ+ stories alive. Plus, we celebrate Black queer excellence at the Oscars and dive into a powerful queer women's history series. Let's get into it!

Over the past few weeks, Google searches around How To Move Abroad have skyrocketed, up more than 1000% percent overall.And many of those searches, especially for the LGBTQ+ community, are geared toward Portugal. Between the D-8 Digital Nomad visa and the D-7 retirement / non-lucrative visa, Portugal has made it onto every future expats radar.But what is it actually like to live there? Just because you might be able to get a visa to move there, do you want to?That's where Sue and Diana come in. Sue Reddel and Diana Laskaris are a married couple who moved to Portugal in 2021 from the States. They moved with their two elderly cats and made a life for themselves. The duo are former corporate executives who jumped off the ladder and into entrepreneurship roughly a decade ago, and now they work remotely from Portugal and run Food Travelist, a food and travel publication.The pair are avid travelers, but Sue had never lived abroad before this move. So what has it been like to move to this beautiful, coastal Southern European country?That's what we get into in this episode.This conversation was recorded inside our Queer Expats Worldwide community on Facebook, and shared with you here.

“My own life has been defined by a search for lesbian spaces.” So says journalist June Thomas, whose new book “A Place of Our Own” explores third spaces for queer women, places that are not work or home. Tracing the history of lesbian bars, coffee shops, bookstores, communes, sex stores, vacations and softball teams, Thomas argues for their importance in community building, political organizing, friendship and love — then and now. We'll talk with Thomas about her new book, and we'll hear from the founders of two California LGBTQ groups — Queer Run San Francisco and HOT POT in Los Angeles' Koreatown — about how they center and create community for queer women of color. Tell us: What have queer women's spaces meant to you? Guests: June Thomas, co-host, Slate's "Working" podcast; author, "A Place of Our Own: Six Spaces That Shaped Queer Women's Culture" Chloe Morizono, producer, KQED; founder, Queer Run San Francisco Jordyn Sun, creator of HOT POT, which puts on QTBIPOC parties in LA's K-Town

Today on KPFA Radio's Women's Magazine we will talk to the directors of two of the films premiering this month at local Queer film festivals. The new documentary by Deborah Craig “Sally” is premiering at the the SF Frameline film festival, and this just finished feature length documentary about lesbian feminist activist, scholar,theologian, and local leader Sally Gerhardt is not to be missed. Sally Gearhart was a lesbian-feminist firebrand, professor, and fantasy author who spearheaded the 1970s and 80s US lesbian feminist movement. The new documentary about her life directed by Deborah Craig called SALLY! peels back proverbial (and patriarchal) layers to reveal the collectivist reality behind our heroine's story while exploring the complex relationship between spokeswoman-like Sally and movements for social change. While the showings at the Frameline SF LGBTQIA film festival on June 26th at 6 and 8pm are already sold out, there may be rush tickets at the door. So go to frameline.org for more info. And you should keep an eye out for this inspiring film, “Sally” at other film festivals and to find out when it is hopefully picked up and distributed online for all of us to see go sallygearhartfilm.com to get info on future showings. And I talk to Loa Niumeitolu and Laura AnnCoelho, who are the directors and creators of the brand new film “A Fish Does Not Drown): Pasifika Communities During Prop 8.” In this documentary Pasifika LGBTQ+ people share poignant stories of how their own Pasifika families and community criminalized and betrayed them during Prop 8 to defend and uphold the Mormon and CatholicChurches attempt to prevent same sex marriage in California and how Queer Pasifika communities fought against that. This film will be showing for free Friday night at the International Queer Women of Color Film Festival at the beautifully renovated Presidio Theatre in San Francisco's Presidio NationalPark. You can get tickets for this historic film “A Fish does not Drown” at qwocff.org and that film and all the films at the Queer Women of color film festival in SF are free. so don't miss this film at part of the opening nite at the QWOCMAP festival starting June 14th and running thru Sunday June 16th with 44 original new films you won't be able to find anywhere else xr:d:DAF78QmOJMc:36,j:4680786865201297579,t:24030718 The post Queer women's films – “Sally” and “A Fish Does Not Drown” appeared first on KPFA.

After the interview, Ronald and co-host Isaac Butler talk about culture and identity in their art. In the exclusive Slate Plus segment, June designs her ideal queer space.

Remember that gut-punch moment when everything you thought you knew about yourself was turned on its head? That's where Kirsty Loehr found herself at 16, blindsided by the realisation that her sexuality wasn't what she'd always assumed...In this episode, meet Kirsty, author of "A Short History of Queer Women," and hear her journey of self-discovery against the backdrop of a Manchester council estate. This episode peels back the layers of what it means to come to terms with one's queer identity, pre-social media whirlwind and without a blueprint for what lies ahead.With humor and heart, Kirsty recounts the early clues of her attraction to women—yes, including that trademark lumberjack shirt—and the role her incredible mother played in fostering a space where being gay was never an issue. From the rough-and-tumble of adolescence to the profound impact of a supportive family, our conversation is a testament to the courage it takes to embrace who you are. As we explore the vibrant tapestry of queer women's experiences, and perhaps you'll see a bit of your own story reflected in Kirsty's.Buy Kirsty's book here, or wherever you get your books.

With elections on the horizon for May 2024, will the victor continue in the same vein of combating official corruption, addressing tensions with Haiti and protecting the country's all-important tourism revenue? We explore these topics and the historical background to current politics in the Dominican Republic. Dr Jimenez Polanco is the author of numerous books and articles including, "Dominican Politics in the 21st Century: Continuity and Change," "Divagaciones II, An Anthology by Dominican Lesbian, Bisexual and Queer Women," and the forthcoming, "Dominican American Politics: Immigrants, Activists and Politicians."

Sir Lady Java (c. 1943-present) stood against a Los Angeles law that targeted trans women, drag performers and anyone who dared to live openly outside the gender binary. Her fierce advocacy made her a trailblazer for the trans community. We're celebrating Pride Month with Icons: supreme queens of queer culture. Some are household names... others are a little more behind the scenes. All of them have defied social norms and influenced generations of people to be unapologetically themselves. History classes can get a bad rap, and sometimes for good reason. When we were students, we couldn't help wondering... where were all the ladies at? Why were so many incredible stories missing from the typical curriculum? Enter, Womanica. On this Wonder Media Network podcast we explore the lives of inspiring women in history you may not know about, but definitely should. Every weekday, listeners explore the trials, tragedies, and triumphs of groundbreaking women throughout history who have dramatically shaped the world around us. In each 5 minute episode, we'll dive into the story behind one woman listeners may or may not know–but definitely should. These diverse women from across space and time are grouped into easily accessible and engaging monthly themes like Educators, Villains, Indigenous Storytellers, Activists, and many more. Womanica is hosted by WMN co-founder and award-winning journalist Jenny Kaplan. The bite-sized episodes pack painstakingly researched content into fun, entertaining, and addictive daily adventures. Womanica was created by Liz Kaplan and Jenny Kaplan, executive produced by Jenny Kaplan, and produced by Liz Smith, Grace Lynch, Maddy Foley, Brittany Martinez, Edie Allard, Lindsey Kratochwill, Adesuwa Agbonile, Carmen Borca-Carrillo, Taylor Williamson, Ale Tejeda, Sara Schleede, and Abbey Delk.
