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.

Take a breath, take your time, and let this one land in your spirit.

Maike Schöfer, queere evangelische Pfarrerin in Berlin, hat eine «Anstiftung zum Neinsagen» geschrieben. Sie schildert, wie es ihr geholfen hat, sich aus gesellschaftlichen Normen zu lösen und sieht im Nein einen unverzichtbaren Akt feministischen Ungehorsams, ohne den sich die Welt nicht ändere. Nein zu Diäten, der Sexualisierung von Brüsten, zu Mücken, zu der Bezeichnung von Gott* als «där HÄRR», zur Männerdominanz in der Kirche, Ja sagen und Nein meinen, zu unbequemer Kleidung, zu Mackern, die Mackersachen machen. Maike Schöfer sagt zu vielem Nein. Heute. Denn Neinsagen musste sie erst lernen. Es hat ihr geholfen, zu sich zu finden – zu ihrem Körper, ihrem Glauben, ihrer Queerness zu stehen. Im «Kultur-Talk» erzählt Maike Schöfer von ihrem Weg und weshalb Neinsagen für sie ein Akt des Widerstandes ist.

Selbstfindung, Queerness, Heilung und Freude – jeder ihrer Songs erzählt eine besondere und bewegte Geschichte. Geboren in New York, lebt Sorvina mittlerweile in Berlin und hat sich über die Jahre ihren eigenen Traum erfüllt, ihre Musik um Rap zu erweitern! Bevor Sorvina am Samstag beim Durchlüften im Humboldt Forum dabei ist und dann im Dezember im Kesselhaus in der Kulturbrauerei auftreten wird, gibt sie uns heute im studioeins schonmal einen Eindruck ihrer bereits viel gelobten Live-Performance. Ihre Live-Auftritte sind oftmals eine Mischung aus Rap-Konzert und Jam-Session mit Jazzband-Elementen. Während sie zunächst als Singer-Songwriterin angefangen hat, mit akustischen Melodien und tragikomischen Texten, fand Sorvina letztlich im Laufe ihrer künstlerischen Entwicklung zum Rap. Anfang des Jahres ist ihre erste EP "Oh, The Places You’ll Go" erschienen, die Jazz, Rap, Neo-Soul und auch Gospel zusammenbringt.

Email us: Will@faithfulpoliticspodcast.comCan the Bible affirm same-sex relationships without compromising its authority?More than half of LGBTQ youth raised in non-affirming Christian households report suicidal thoughts, according to The Trevor Project. In this timely and vulnerable conversation, Matthew Vines—author of God and the Gay Christian and founder of The Reformation Project—joins Will and Josh to explore the moral, theological, and pastoral implications of excluding LGBTQ people from covenantal love.Raised in an evangelical church, Matthew shares his deeply personal story of coming out, challenging the “clobber verses,” and making a theologically conservative case for full LGBTQ inclusion. The conversation also unpacks celibacy mandates, biblical context vs. timeless principles, and how churches can (and can't) offer belonging without affirmation.Josh remains non-affirming, but open. The result is a rare, emotionally intelligent dialogue that refuses easy answers—and models what truth-seeking looks like across deep difference.Guest BioMatthew Vines is the author of God and the Gay Christian and founder of The Reformation Project, a nonprofit dedicated to advancing LGBTQ inclusion in the church while upholding biblical authority. A Harvard-trained theologian turned advocate, Vines is known for articulating an affirming theology rooted in evangelical hermeneutics and traditional biblical scholarship.God and the Gay Christian (Amazon)https://www.amazon.com/God-Gay-Christian-Biblical-Relationships/dp/1601425163The Reformation Project Websitehttps://reformationproject.org/Matthew Vines on YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@ReformationProject Support the show

In recent years, significant progress has been made in both disability rights and Krispjin Parsons LGBTQ+ visibility. However, the intersection of these identities remains an area that is often overlooked. On today's show, we welcome Krispjin Parsons, a gay man on the autism spectrum, who shares his personal journey navigating life at the crossroads of queerness and neurodiversity. Through candid reflections on both the challenges and triumphs he's experienced, Krispjin sheds light on the often-invisible nature of this intersectional identity. This episode explores the richness and complexity within both the LGBTQ+ and disabled communities, and highlights the importance of recognizing and celebrating the full spectrum of lived experiences. This program is hosted and produced by Jacob Stanton with editing assistance from Denny Daughters and Dominick Trevethan. The post The Intersection Between Disability & Queerness – Pushing Limits – July 11, 2025 appeared first on KPFA.

In this powerful episode, author, activist, and festival curator Sharif D. Rangnekar joins Mohua Chinappa for a deeply personal and political conversation on queer rights in India. They discuss the slow implementation of the NALSA verdict, the stigma behind the blood donation ban, and the challenges queer communities face in accessing public spaces. Sharif reflects on his own journey of surviving sexual assault, the importance of creating inclusive literary platforms like the Rainbow Lit Fest, and the dangers of cancel culture. With references to activists like Santa Khurai, Harish Iyer, and artist Lady Gaga, this episode blends courage, critique, and hope.Key Takeaways:Caste remains a significant issue within LGBTQIA+ spaces in India.Safety and the right to live freely are central to queer rights.Equity is a more nuanced goal than mere equality.Bisexuality faces misunderstanding and invisibility in queer politics.The ban on LGBTQ+ blood donation is rooted in stigma, not scienceTransgender rights are progressing slowly, with many challenges ahead.Corporate allyship often lacks genuine commitment beyond Pride Month.Cancel culture can hinder constructive dialogue within queer communities.Legal barriers still exist for blood donation by LGBTQ+ individuals.Creating inclusive literary spaces is essential for diverse voices.Survivors of sexual assault, especially queer men, face unique challenges in speaking out.True inclusion requires a 360° approach, involving politics, law, corporates, and community engagement beyond symbolic gestures.Representation in media and literature is growing, with queer narratives now visible in poetry, films, fashion, and public spaces.Queer joy, community, and cultural expression are vital, offering safe spaces and solidarity in an often hostile environment.Connect with UsMohua Chinappa: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mohua-chinappa/The Mohua Show: https://www.themohuashow.com/Connect with Sharif D RangnekarSharif D Rangnekar: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sharif-d-rangnekar-3867208/Follow UsYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheMohuaShowLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/themohuashow/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/themohuashowInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/themohuashow/For any other queries EMAILhello@themohuashow.comChapters:00:00 Introduction  01:05 Caste, Queerness, and Inclusion06:47 Marriage Equality vs. Safety12:11 Equality vs. Equity in Queer Rights17:30 Understanding Bisexuality in Queer Politics25:50 Trans Rights and Slow Legal Progress31:13 Corporate Engagement with LGBTQ+ Rights35:19 The Complexities of Cancel Culture39:22 Challenging Stigmas in Blood Donation Laws45:06 Creating Inclusive Literary Spaces52:25 Courage in Sharing Personal Trauma58:02 Imagining a Joyful Future for Queer CommunitiesDisclaimerThe views expressed by our guests are their own.

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-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

On this episode of Rendering Unconscious, I sat down with Karin Valis to talk about AI, psychoanalysis, cut-ups and magic. This is how AI summarizes our conversation (with some minor edits): Karin Valis, a machine learning engineer based in Berlin, discusses the intersection of AI and psychoanalysis, highlighting the dangers of AI therapists exacerbating mental health issues. She notes the rise of AI psychosis on Reddit, where AI's helpful programming can deepen users' delusions. Karin also explores AI's role in reflecting and influencing the unconscious, comparing it to a language virus a la William S. Burroughs. Karin plans to publish a book on AI's impact, focusing on female/femme perspectives, and is developing an AI journaling tool to aid personal growth and self-reflection.

Get ready to hustle up some bibles, condemn some apostates, and declare that someone IS NO KIN OF YOURS, as tonight the Bop Crew interviews Payton McCarty-Simas, author of That Very Witch: Fear, Feminism, and the American Witch Film. Together they have a fascinating discussion on their favorite witch films, the unique properties of American hysteria, the environmental factors that lead to booms in either witch hunts of witch flicks, why there were so many goddamn warlocks in the eighties, and the explicit fascism of the Veronica Lake vehicle I Married A Witch.Pick up your copy of That Very Witch: Fear, Feminism, and the American Witch Film: https://www.lunapresspublishing.com/product-page/that-very-witch-that-very-witch-fear-feminism-and-the-american-witch-movie (also available wherever books are sold!)Check out Payon on Instagram: @paytplaceTaboo Acts, Queer Allegories: Cannibalism, Incest, and Queerness as Transgression in Genre Film | PAYTON McCARTY-SIMASThe Substance Is a Witch Film | by Payton McCaty-Simashttps://www.boxofficepulp.com/Listen on Apple: https://www.boxofficepulp.com/appleListen on Spotify: https://www.boxofficepulp.com/spotifyListen on Amazon: https://www.boxofficepulp.com/amazonAll The OTHER Ways to Listen: https://www.boxofficepulp.com/listenFollow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BoxOfficePulpPodcast/Follow on Twiter/X: https://x.com/BoxOfficePulp

So… yeah. It's Pride Month. And here I am, a straight, white, former church kid debating whether or not to even say anything. Because let's be honest: the internet doesn't need another straight guy weighing in on LGBTQ+ stuff like he's doing anyone a favor. I didn't want this to be some performative, “Look at me, I'm a good ally” thing. That's not what I'm after. That's never been the point of this podcast. But I also don't want to stay quiet. I grew up in a church that had plenty to say about gay people, and none of it kind. I learned to hide. I learned to shrink. I learned to clip my wings and call it obedience. And I've seen what that kind of faith does to people who are just trying to be themselves. Especially kids. So no, I'm not trying to center myself. I'm not part of the LGBTQ+ community. But I have been part of the silence. And honestly? I'm tired of pretending that's somehow more respectful. This episode isn't polished. It's not perfect. It's not a mic drop or a manifesto. It's just me sitting in the tension, saying something I probably should've said a long time ago. Because out of all the hills I could die on… this isn't one of them. If any of this resonates with you, I'd love to hear from you. You can shoot me an email at @clemenzwithaz.

While working with Piping Plovers in June of 2022, Andrea Gress and the rest of the plover team, observed a same-sex pairing between two well known plovers. It was a first for the species. But was it really? In today's episode, Andrea shares a brief history of how queerness in nature was viewed by the scientific community, and how these perspectives have evolved. To explore this further, we also re-share an episode originally aired in 2022: Piping Plovers - A Love Story. As promised, here are some additional resources to explore: Watch: Animal Pride: Nature's Coming Our Story, the Nature of ThingsListen: A Field Guide to Gay Animals by CanadalandThe Seagulls by RadiolabRead:Same-sex partnerships in birds: a review of the current literature and a call for more data by Gillies and Siddiqi-Davies 2025Same-sex sexual behaviour among mammals is widely observed, yet seldomly reported: Evidence from an online expert survey by Anderson et al 2024Andrea Gress (she/her) secretly thinks Piping Plovers are better than all the other birds...studied Renewable Resource Management at the University of Saskatchewan.

How do we uncover queer lives from the distant past, especially in an era when language and records often erased or obscured them? What did queerness look like in early America, and how might it have intersected with power, religion, and empire on the eve of the American Revolution?  John McCurdy, a Professor of History and Philosophy at Eastern Michigan University and the author of Vicious and Immoral: Homosexuality, the American Revolution, and the Trials of Robert Newburgh, joins us to explore these questions through the remarkable story of British Army Chaplain Robert Newburgh.

2025 Harvard Horizons Scholar Katherine Horgan explores the legacy of the ancient Greek poet Sappho in her project, "Living Sappho: Imitation, Imagination, and Revivification in Early Modern England." A PhD student in English at Harvard's Kenneth C. Griffin Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, Horgan delves into the complex interplay between Sappho's textual and biographical traditions, exploring how artists and writers have continuously reimagined and celebrated Sappho over millennia. Horgan's research argues for the transformative power of Sappho's work throughout literary history. By illuminating the rich afterlife of Sappho's poetry and persona, Horgan not only contributes to the recovery of marginalized voices but also invites contemporary readers to engage with Sappho as a site of playful exploration and enduring inspiration.

What does it mean to say that queerness is ontological? In this episode, we're joined by Billie Cashmore and Xenogothic (Mattie Colquhoun) to explore the philosophical foundations and political tensions surrounding queerness, normativity, and the symbolic order. Drawing on thinkers like Judith Butler, Heidegger, and Lacan, we examine queerness not simply as identity, but as a condition of social and ontological failure—and potential. What happens when queerness claims both radical subversion and historical universality?Billies article: https://splintermag.com/On-the-Political-Character-of-QueernessXenogothic's Response: https://xenogothic.com/2025/05/06/the-hauntology-of-transness-or-whither-gender-accelerationism/Have you supported Vintagia?: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/acidhorizon/vintagia-i-ching-oracle-for-psychogeographers-and-creativesSupport the showVintagia Pre-Launch: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/acidhorizon/vintagia-i-ching-oracle-for-psychogeographers-and-creatives Support the podcast:https://www.acidhorizonpodcast.com/Linktree: https://linktr.ee/acidhorizonAcid Horizon on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/acidhorizonpodcast Boycott Watkins Media: https://xenogothic.com/2025/03/17/boycott-watkins-statement/ Join The Schizoanalysis Project: https://discord.gg/4WtaXG3QxnSubscribe to us on your favorite podcast: https://pod.link/1512615438Merch: http://www.crit-drip.comSubscribe to us on your favorite podcast: https://pod.link/1512615438 LEPHT HAND: https://www.patreon.com/LEPHTHANDHappy Hour at Hippel's (Adam's blog): https://happyhourathippels.wordpress.com​Revolting Bodies (Will's Blog): https://revoltingbodies.com​Split Infinities (Craig's Substack): https://splitinfinities.substack.com/​Music: https://sereptie.bandcamp.com/ and https://thecominginsurrection.bandcamp.com/

What if friendship—not romance, not marriage—were the central relationship in your life?That's the question Rhaina Cohen asks in her book The Other Significant Others. And wow, do we love this book. David, TJ, and Elena sat down with Rhaina to talk about what it would mean to build a life around deep, committed friendship—and why our current relationship hierarchy (romantic > everything else) might be due for a rethink.Once you start centering friendship, it starts disrupting many other assumptions. We talked about: what it looks like to live near your friends, how parenting could look different, what happens when friends make commitments, when other people don't recognize those commitments, and whether secular folks should borrow a few ideas from monks.Join us and—if you haven't already—go read the book!About Our GuestRhaina Cohen is an award-winning editor for the NPR documentary podcast Embedded and the author of the national bestseller, The Other Significant Others: Reimagining Life with Friendship at the Center, which Trevor Noah described as "my new Bible." Her writing on social connection has appeared in The Atlantic, The New York Times, The Washington Post and has been supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities. Rhaina's recent TED talk on the untapped potential of friendship has been viewed more than half a million times.

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.

Before “Don't Ask, Don't Tell” and rainbow capitalism, there was the Lavender Scare—a government-backed witch hunt targeting LGBTQ+ federal employees as threats to national security. In this episode, we uncover how Cold War paranoia collided with homophobia, turning queerness into a crime of patriotism. From surveillance and mass firings to one man's fight that helped spark a movement, we trace the eerie parallels between 1950s propaganda and today's anti-trans legislation and drag bans. History doesn't repeat—it legislates.

Alejandro Heredia's debut novel “Loca” has been praised as “quintessentially American”. It takes place in both the Dominican Republic and the Bronx, New York, where Alejandro was shaped into the person he is today.In this episode, Latino USA producer Reynaldo Leaños Jr. speaks with the Afro-Dominican author about his —and his family's— migration journey to the United States, his queer awakening, and being a writer during this moment in history.
