Die meisten von uns wissen im Jugend- oder jungem Erwachsenenalter, ob sie lesbisch, schwul, hetero oder irgendwas dazwischen sind. Es gibt aber auch Menschen, die aus ganz unterschiedlichen Gründen erst später ihre Queerness entdecken. Für viele von ihnen gerät die Welt, wie sie sie bis dahin gekannt haben, damit ziemlich aus den Fugen. Petra Ahrweiler ist Psychologin und hilft ganz speziell Frauen bei ihrem späten Coming-Out. In dieser Folge erzählt sie uns von ihrer Arbeit. Hier kommt ihr zu Petras Homepage und ihrem selbst entwickelten Test: https://petra-ahrweiler.de/bin-ich-lesbisch

Nach Beginn des Ukraine-Krieges explodierten die Gaspreise. Die Österreicher erleben derzeit einen zweiten Gaspreisschock. Da die Industrie weniger verbraucht und die Zahl der Nutzer sinkt, steigt der Preis für die verbleibenden Kunden drastisch. Der Energieunternehmer Thomas Eisenhuth analysiert die Lage. Mit der Publizistin Eva Demmerle unterhalten wir uns über die Pläne der EU-Kommission bei der LGBTQI+-Gleichstellungsstrategie. Im Finanzmarkt geht der Trend weg von Queerness und Klimaschutz: Die ESG-Kriterien bröckeln, eine Bankenallianz für Klimapolitik wird aufgelöst. Hintergründe dazu von dem Investmentstrategen Rolf B. Pieper. Und Lena von der „Jungen Freiheit“ teilt ihre Einschätzung über das Sicherheitsgefühl junger Frauen in Deutschland.

Autor Liam Cagney hat geschafft, was bei vielen oft cringe wirkt: Er schreibt über Clubkultur ohne dass es clickbait wirkt. BERGHAIN NIGHTS – A Journey through Techno and Berlin Clubculture ist ein literarischer Streifzug durch Berlins Nachtleben. Von Tresor bis KitKat, von Ekstase bis Erschöpfung – eine Liebeserklärung an Techno, Queerness & die Suche nach Sinn im Strobo. Zoe und Jessie sprechen mit Liam über die Entstehung des Buchs, über Pleasure und Politics, über Selbstfindung im Strobo und warum Clubbing vielleicht das letzte echte Pilgererlebnis unserer Zeit ist.

Homosexuelles Verhalten ist im Tierreich bei mindestens 1.500 Arten nachgewiesen. Und auch Geschlechtergrenzen verschwimmen in der Tierwelt. Nachdem es lange ein Tabu war, wissen Forschende heute immer mehr darüber, welche Vorteile gleichgeschlechtliche Paarung und Co. für Tiere haben.

Inspired by the powerful Afrovibes performance I AM, this panel explores the legacies of queerness within African diasporic communities in the Netherlands. With performer and activist Djuwa Mroivili, performance artist & choreographic-activist Tandile Mbatsha, artist and writer Anne Krul and moderator and creative director Afrovibes Jay Pather.For many people living between cultures, finding a sense of home and belonging can already be challenging. But for LGBTQ+ individuals, that search often comes with added layers of difficulty. Queer people of African descent may face racism within broader LGBTQ+ spaces, while also encountering rejection or silence in their own communities. As a result, they often find themselves moving between worlds — without ever feeling fully accepted in either.In this conversation, Black queer makers from different generations share their experiences of navigating these overlapping spaces. What kinds of care and support are needed to live openly and safely? And what legacies of care, solidarity, and resilience can we build on today?In cooperation with Afrovibes FestivalProgramme editor: Merlijn GeurtsZie het privacybeleid op https://art19.com/privacy en de privacyverklaring van Californië op https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Fußball ist in Deutschland mehr als ein Spiel. Er ist ein öffentlicher Raum, in dem Gemeinschaft entsteht – und in dem Konflikte sichtbar werden. Auch jüdische Menschen gehören selbstverständlich dazu: auf den Rängen, auf den Plätzen, in den Vereinen.Der 7. Oktober 2023 hat das deutlich gemacht. Die Massaker der Hamas in Israel haben unermessliches Leid verursacht – und zugleich gezeigt, wie Fußball ein Resonanzraum sein kann: für Solidarität und Mitgefühl, aber auch für Ausgrenzung und Hass. Geschichten wie die von Hersh Goldberg-Polin oder Inbar „Pink“ Heyman haben auch deutsche Fanszenen berührt. Das Buch „Juden auf den Plätzen, Juden auf den Rängen“ versammelt Stimmen aus Deutschland und Israel, die davon erzählen. Von Freundschaft und Zusammenhalt, aber auch von Bedrohung und Gewalt. Es geht um die Frage, wie jüdisches Leben im Fußball sichtbar wird – und was das über die Gesellschaft sagt. Herausgegeben von Monty Ott und Ruben Gerczikow, unterstützt von Werder Bremen, bietet der Band Einblicke in Erfahrungen, die selten erzählt werden – und macht deutlich: Fußball ist weit mehr als ein Sport. Meine Gäste sind Monty Ott und Ruben Gerczikow: Monty Ott ist Politik- und Religionswissenschaftler. In seinen Schriften beschäftigt er sich mit Antisemitismus, Erinnerungskultur, Intersektionalität und Queerness. Anfang 2023 veröffentlichte er in der ZEIT den Essay „Inzwischen ist es kalt geworden“. Darin analysierte er Antisemitismus in linken Bewegungen – ein Text, der früh auf Entwicklungen hingewiesen hat, die nach dem 7. Oktober 2023 unübersehbar wurden. Seit mehr als zehn Jahren arbeitet er zudem in der antisemitismuskritischen Bildungsarbeit. Derzeit schreibt er an einer Dissertation über „Queere jüdische Theologie“. Ruben Gerczikow ist Autor und Publizist. Er recherchiert zu antisemitischen Strukturen und schreibt über Rechtsextremismus, Islamismus und über jüdische Gegenwart. Seine Texte erscheinen in verschiedenen Zeitungen und Magazinen. Von 2019 bis 2021 war er Vizepräsident der European Union of Jewish Students sowie der Jüdischen Studierendenunion Deutschlands. Beide haben 2023 gemeinsam den Reportageband „Wir lassen uns nicht unterkriegen – Junge jüdische Politik in Deutschland“ veröffentlicht. Und nun erscheint ihr neuer Sammelband „Juden auf den Plätzen, Juden auf den Rängen“.

In this episode, Jacob Kyle sits down with his longtime friend and collaborator Nataraj Chaitanya, whose early creative influence helped shape the founding vision of Embodied Philosophy and even inspired the name CHITHEADS.Ten years after those first late-night conversations about yoga, consciousness, and modern spirituality, Jacob and Nataraj reunite to explore what it means to live a tantric life—one that embraces devotion, awareness, creativity, and radical honesty as integral parts of the spiritual path.From the story of Nataraj's early encounter with mantra practice as a young gay teenager in Virginia to his life as a teacher, devotee, and lineage-holder in the meditation tradition of Bhagavan Nityananda, this conversation moves through the full terrain of sādhana as both an art and a science of awakening.Together they discuss:The origins of Embodied Philosophy and the early spirit of CHITHEADSSādhana as alchemy: how awareness and aliveness generate bliss (ānanda)Aesthetics and yoga: why āsana is more like theatre than therapyLineage and transmission: the living power of a genuine spiritual traditionDevotion and nonduality: giving reality a personality and meeting the divine in all formsQueerness as contemplative opportunity: living between identities as a form of freedomPilgrimage as a way of life: learning to meet every moment as the Goddess herselfThroughout the conversation, the two reflect on their parallel journeys—academic, creative, and spiritual—and on the importance of rebuilding Embodied Philosophy around its original vision: to make philosophy and practice inseparable, and to honor both the scholar and the practitioner within each of us.The episode also marks a new chapter for Embodied Philosophy: Nataraj will be joining the faculty of Wisdom School and Sādhana School, contributing his decades of experience in yoga, mantra, and contemplative education to a new generation of seeker-teachers.This is a conversation about devotion, transformation, and friendship—about what it means to practice in a world that needs both scholarship and surrender, intellect and love.Guest Bio: Nataraj ChaitanyaNataraj Chaitanya has led retreats, workshops, kīrtans, and teacher training programs around the world for more than twenty years.After beginning a daily meditation and yoga practice at the age of thirteen, Nataraj immersed himself in the teachings of yoga and tantra and, by sixteen, began sharing these nectarean teachings with others. Over two decades, he has inspired countless seekers to take up a committed spiritual practice and has dedicated his life to bringing the wisdom of yoga into everyday life.His love of teaching is evident in the devotional and enthusiastic spirit with which he leads his sessions, creating environments where people from all walks of life can directly contact the fullness of their own Being.In January 2019, Nataraj became a formal initiate and custodian of the meditation tradition of Bhagavan Nityananda of Ganeshpuri, under Mahamandaleshwar Swami Shankarananda, one of Swami Muktananda's senior disciples.He currently lives and teaches in Melbourne, Australia.Episode LinksFollow Nataraj Chaitanya: Website →Instagram →Explore Embodied Philosophy:Wisdom School →Sādhana School →Watch CHITHEADS on YouTube →

happy pride month to my fellow girls, gays & theys. lets unpack the fluidity of sexuality and being comfortable with change in our adulthood

It's only human to project the notions we already hold onto the world around us. We want to feel connected, and we start from what we know – categories, similarities, rules, expectations. But nature is endlessly expansive, at once wildly different from the societies we are used to and yet surprisingly similar to the nuances we hold as individuals. In her debut book Forest Euphoria: The Abounding Queerness of Nature, author Patricia Ononiwu Kaishian invites readers to wander off the prescribed trails and embrace the full range of what we can take away from unexpected corners of the natural world. Growing up, Kaishian felt most at home in some of these less-traveled pockets – namely, the swamps and culverts near her house in the Hudson Valley, studded with wildlife and odd creatures. As a child who frequently felt out of place – too much of one thing or not enough of another – she found acceptance in these settings, mainly among amphibious beings. In snakes, snails, and especially fungi, she saw her own developing identities as a queer, neurodivergent person reflected back at her – and a personal path to a life of science. Equal parts lyrical memoir, academic exploration, and a love letter to the vastness of identity, Forest Euphoria introduces readers to the queerness, literal and otherwise, of all the life around us. In this richly observant and insightful study, Kaishian presents myriad examples of nature defying human dichotomies. Fungi, we learn, commonly have more than two biological sexes, and some as many as twenty-three thousand. Some intersex slugs mutually fire calcium carbonate “love darts” at each other during courtship. Glass eels are sexually undetermined until their last year of life, which stumped scientists once dubbed “the eel question.” Forest Euphoria aims to illuminate that nature is filled with lessons stemming from the unusual, the overlooked, and the marginalized, so long as we have the curiosity to learn. Dr. Patricia Ononiwu Kaishian is a research scientist, author, speaker, and educator who specializes in the biodiversity of fungi, ecology, and exploring how scientific disciplines are informed by our sociopolitical landscape. She is the Curator of Mycology at the New York State Museum, as well as teaching faculty with the Bard Prison Initiative. She is a co-founder of the International Congress of Armenian Mycologists. She has been featured in the documentary Queer Planet and her publication, The science underground: mycology as a queer discipline, appears in the journal Catalyst: Feminism, Theory & Technoscience. Taha Ebrahimi is the author and illustrator of Street Trees of Seattle: An Illustrated Walking Guide (Sasquatch Books, 2024). She serves as a member of the council for Historic Seattle and has been named “Seattle's Coolest Street Tree Expert” by The Stranger.

Send us a textFor far too many LGBTQ+ people, religion has been used as a weapon–a source of shame, exclusion, and deep spiritual wounds. Many have been told they are “incompatible with scripture,” and some have left their faith communities altogether just to protect their own well-being. Today In the Den, Sara sits down with Reformation Project founder Matthew Vines, who offers an invitation to re-read the Bible with fresh eyes, to separate tradition from truth, and to imagine a church where everyone is welcomed without condition.Special Guest: Matthew VinesMatthew Vines is the Founder and Executive Director of The Reformation Project and the author of God and the Gay Christian: The Biblical Case in Support of Same-Sex Relationships. He lives in Dallas, Texas. Matthew attended Harvard University from 2008 to 2010. He then took a leave of absence in order to research the Bible and same-sex relationships. In March 2012, Matthew gave a speech at a church in his hometown of Wichita, Kansas, about the Bible and same-sex relationships, calling for acceptance of gay Christians and their marriage relationships. The video of the speech was viewed more than a million times on YouTube, leading to a feature story in The New York Times that fall. In 2013, Matthew launched The Reformation Project, a Bible-based, Christian non-profit organization that works to advance an orthodox and affirming vision for the church while remaining grounded in a love for God, a love for the Bible, and a love for the church. The Reformation Project hosts a variety of events, including a conference, a Parents in Process group, a Pastors in Process group, and leadership training cohorts.Links from the Show:God and the Gay Christian: https://bookshop.org/p/books/god-and-the-gay-christian-the-biblical-case-in-support-of-same-sex-relationships-matthew-vines/6425211?ean=9781601425188&next=t  Find more about Matthew here: https://matthewvines.com/about/Matthew's speech on gay Christians: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezQjNJUSraY The Reformation Project: http://www.reformationproject.org/ New York Times article on Matthew's speech: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/16/fashion/matthew-vines-wont-rest-in-defending-gay-christians.html Join Mama Dragons here: www.mamadragons.orgIn the Den is made possible by generous donors like you.

Jo Jo Siwa BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Jo Jo Siwa has been making headlines across the entertainment world this week, both for her personal life and impactful statements that have set social media buzzing. According to The Pink News and Attitude, the most talked-about development is her very public clarification of her sexuality following intense speculation and backlash after confirming her relationship with Chris Hughes, known from Love Island and Celebrity Big Brother UK. Siwa, who historically identified as a lesbian and later as pansexual and queer, has been vocal in interviews with SiriusXM's Smith Sisters Live and Reign with Josh Smith that while she's happily in love with a man, she is “not straight” and that being in a heterosexual relationship does not erase her queerness or discredit her past relationships with women and non-binary people. She has described the love she has with Hughes as something she's never experienced before, and social media commentary on both sides has been fierce, with Siwa highlighting recently that much of the hate has actually come from within the LGBTQ+ community, something she finds particularly hurtful but refuses to let sour her happiness.The Daily Mail sparked further chatter after Hughes' father speculated that Jo Jo and Chris could be married before Christmas, a notion Jo Jo herself seemed to support during the Reign podcast, saying that for the first time she craves a wedding and all its traditions, which is a significant personal shift for someone who previously dismissed the idea of a big ceremony.Business hasn't lagged behind her personal story. Jo Jo Siwa's recent appearance on shows like The Room Where It Happened podcast dissected her branding strategy, with commentators noting her calculated but authentic approach to career pivots. On the music front, her single Karma continued to generate buzz as she completed her European tour, with a Dublin show coming up at The Academy on September 29, according to JamBase listings.A viral resurfaced clip from the GLADD Media Awards made rounds this week after AOL reported that Siwa spent fifty thousand dollars on cosmetic dental work, and critics on social media have debated her new edgier style—including comments from Kiss bassist Gene Simmons who praised her boldness in adopting a more rock-inspired look at the iHeartRadio Music Awards, an event that saw her trending for days.Through all this, Siwa continues to leverage her massive social platforms to discuss the pressures of fame, transformation, and living honestly, making her not just a tabloid fixture, but a focal point in ongoing cultural conversations around sexuality, generational change in the LGBTQ+ community, and the price of celebrity reinvention.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

The Queerness of Psychoanalysis: From Freud and Lacan to Laplanche and Beyond (Routledge, 2024) is an exploration of psychoanalysis' often complicated and fraught history with thinking about queerness, as well as its multifaceted heritage. Throughout the chapters, the contributors write about psychoanalysis' relationship with queerness, the ways in which queerness is represented in the psychoanalytic archive, and how that archive endures in the present and creates various disruptive effects both within and beyond the clinic. Each chapter from the global cohort of contributors approaches queerness from a different angle: they consider the literary aspects of queerness' presence in the analytic world; the clinical complexities of working with queer and trans people; metapsychological inclusion and exclusion of queerness, and many other subjects. Taken together these contributions constitute a decisive intervention into the psychoanalytic canon. They are an unabashed demand for accepting and furthering the representation and inclusion of queer, and in particular trans, people within psychoanalysis. It is a call for action to utilize and deepen psychoanalysis' enormous explicatory powers and bring together voices that have so far been denied a unity of expression, while critically reevaluating psychoanalysis' historical relationship to queerness. Each chapter proposes different ways of thinking and writing psychoanalytically, with many of the papers queering the format and forms of expression commonly found in academic writing, through their use of dialogues, conversations, or other experimental forms of writing. Written almost exclusively by analysts, scholars, and activists who identify as trans and/or queer, this important volume puts theory into practice by centering queer and trans voices.

Queerness and Catholicism Collide in Bill Hulseman's Debut Essay CollectionSix to carry the casket and one to say the mass invites readers to examine identity, belonging, and faithA soul-baring essay collection that challenges what it means to inherit identity—and what it means to let it go. Part memoir, part meditation, this striking book offers a nuanced and heartfelt exploration of queerness, Catholicism, pop culture, family, and personal transformation. In an interview, he can talk about: The youngest of ten children in a devout Catholic family, why Bill grew up feeling like “an ornament” in his own householdAs a gay man who went on to teach religion in Catholic schools, the tension between belonging and invisibilityHow we're not "stuck with the identity we inherit," and how “the challenge—and the gift—is deciding what to keep and what to let go.”Hulseman's voice will resonate with readers of memoirists like David Sedaris, Garrard Conley, or Alexander Chee. His essays offer comfort and challenge in equal measure for anyone who has ever wrestled with inherited identity, struggled with faith, or questioned the role of tradition in their modern life.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

In this episode, I sit with Comedian Christopher James (he/him).   We discuss the walking ray of sunshine that was Christopher at the RAW Comedy State Final, Chris' current tour of his new nursing comedy show “Fun Scrubs”, late career changes when we feel like we are selling our soul, reminders from Chris that Pride is a celebration and a protest, how we never stop coming out and the sometimes long yet always rewarding journey into being comfortable in authenticity!  

Cynthia Erivo, a queer woman, just starred as Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar. Culture is calling it powerful and revolutionary. I'm calling it what it is: blasphemy. In this video, I break down the dangerous theology of Jesus Christ Superstar, why Hollywood loves to rewrite Jesus, and how feminism, queer ideology, and progressive theology have hijacked the gospel for their own agenda. This isn't about race or sexuality… it's about truth. God will not be mocked. Jesus is not a character. He is the risen King, and He's coming back.       -       Follow me on Instagram: @AngelamarieScafidi       -       Ways to Support the Show:      

Welcome to Rendering Unconscious – the Gradiva award-winning podcast about psychoanalysis & culture, with me, Dr Vanessa Sinclair. https://renderingunconscious.substack.com RU358: CARL ABRAHAMSSON ON LEGACY OF HORROR, THE FENRIS WOLF, AN ART APART, ANTON LAVEY & OCCULTURE: https://renderingunconscious.substack.com/p/ru358-carl-abrahamsson-on-legacy Rendering Unconscious episode 358. This episode is a special collaboration between Rendering Unconscious and The Fenris Wolf podcast! https://thefenriswolf.substack.com This conversation between Carl Abrahamsson and Vanessa Sinclair reveals a rich dialogue between two collaborators deeply engaged in exploring the intersections of occult culture, psychoanalysis, and contemporary society. Carl discusses his long-running project, The Fenris Wolf, which he has been publishing since 1989 as a journal dedicated to what he terms "occulture" - the fascinating intersection where occult practices meet and influence mainstream culture. Now in its 12th issue with a 13th forthcoming, the project has evolved to include a Substack newsletter that provides more frequent content including book reviews, current affairs, and recorded teachings. Carl emphasizes how underground cultural movements gradually permeate and transform mainstream society, a process he has witnessed and participated in for over three decades.

Send us a textIn this episode of Queerly Beloved, I'm joined by the luminous and liberatory Rev. Karmen Michael Smith- a Black queer theologian, cultural strategist, and author of Holy Queer: The Coming Out of Christ. As the creator of Prophetic Intelligence™ and the founder of the inclusive digital faith community Poor Culture, Karmen's work lives at the sacred intersection of queerness, spirituality, and social transformation. He currently serves as the Director of Community Engagement and Social Justice at Union Theological Seminary.Together, we dive into the radiant, raw, and radically affirming terrain of queer divinity and spiritual expansion.Topics we explore include:Spiritual self-care as sacred ritual (yes, including solo dance parties!).What it means to minister beyond the walls of the church.Why disruption can be divine, and the gateway to liberation.The richness and freedom found in the margins.Queerness not as a curse but as a calling.The layered intersection of being Black, queer, and spiritual.How to court presence in a world full of distractions.✨ This is one of those conversations that opens hearts, shifts paradigms, and makes the sacred feel just a little more spacious. Take a breath, take your time, and let this one land in your spirit.

What happens when a voice emerges? What happens when one is lost? Is something gained? A couple months ago, Lulu guest edited an issue of the nature magazine Orion. She called the issue “Queer Planet: A Celebration of Biodiversity,” and it was a wide-ranging celebration of queerness in nature. It featured work by amazing writers like Ocean Vuong, Kristen Arnett, Carmen Maria Machado and adrienne maree brown, among many others. But one piece in particular struck Lulu as something that was really meant to be made into audio, an essay called “Key Changes,” by the writer Sabrina Imbler. If their name sounds familiar, it might be because they've been on the show before. In this episode, we bring you Sabrina's essay – which takes us from the beginning of time, to a field of crickets, to a karaoke bar – read by the phenomenal actor Becca Blackwell, and scored by our director of sound design Dylan Keefe.
