Happy Pride! While Pride shouldn’t just be confined to a month, one of our audio producers described this time of year as “ ... a breath let go that you didn't know you were holding.” This episode is for everyone, but especially for those who have been waiting to exhale and looking forward to living every day with pride. It's about resistance and being seen in a time when queer and trans communities are being targeted. Our two stories this week come from the Queer Stories podcast.

Hei og hopp, vi er antipridestopp! Det er juni – selveste Pride-måneden!

On this week's show, we go completely and utterly MADFABULOUS! Yes, in case you aren't aware, it's a film that's out 5th June in cinemas nationwide. The team got a screening at the Iris Film Festival a month or so ago and we loved it.To complement it, Queerstory is back with a special on the true story behind the film, and Andy managed to grab a chat with the writer, Lisa Baker.Check it out in cinemas nationwide from the 6th June - here's a bit of a teaser for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuggTtSpnyI

Du kjenner kanskje til memen «the gay cousin», men om du ikke vet hva det er – frykt ikke, for det lærer du i så fall i denne episoden. Jens Elwyn og Mar Valo diskuterer hvorvidt de selv er «the gay cousin», eller «det skeive søskenbarn» på norsk, og de deler også sine personlige meninger om denne sangomsuste stereotypen.

Visste du at skeiv ensomhet faktisk er en ting? Men... hva er egentlig skeiv ensomhet, og er det annerledes enn «typisk» ensomhet? Hvordan kan det utspille seg? Hvordan motvirker man skeiv ensomhet, og er det noen som kan hjelpe deg?Tja, du må nesten høre på denne episoden for å få svar på disse spørsmålene. Med mindre du vil undersøke temaet på egenhånd da, naturligvis, men da går du glipp av historier fra virkeligheten som du ikke kan finne noe annet sted enn i akkurat denne episoden! Men et lite hint til «er det noen som kan hjelpe meg?»-delen: den informasjonen finner du også i denne episodebeskrivelsen (rett under dette avsnittet)

Hvilke fremkomstmidler er skeive? Hvilke fremkomstmidler er streite? Hva er twink death? Når dør en twink? Få svar på dette – OG MER – i denne flotte episoden av Lobbyen, hvor lobbyist Mar Valo har fått med seg ikke én, men TO(!!) gjester, nemlig Edvin og Anja (som er kjærester). Det blir også gjort noen tapre forsøk på å finne nye betydninger av allerede eksisterende forkortelser og akronymer. Klarer de å motstå fristelsen til å si «pussy» hver gang det er en p? Og som om ikke dette var nok å prate om, så mimres det jammen også tilbake til tidligere (skeive og streite) konsertopplevelser.

Klær og stil kommuniserer mer enn mange kanskje tror og tenker over, men mange skeive, særlig kjønnsskeive, har et veldig bevisst forhold til hvordan utseende påvirker hvordan vi blir oppfattet og behandlet av menneskene rundt oss. I denne episoden har lobbyistene Iben og Mio fått besøk av gjest Stian, og disse magiske mulletmusketerene analyserer sin egen stil i forhold til kjønnsidentitet, estetikk og samfunnsnormer. Har du lyst til å høre mer om disse teamene kan du også høre på episode 

"Ser du meg? Ja, du ser på meg, men ser du meg? Egentlig?"Skeiv synlighet er viktig, men kan man egentlig være synlig som noe ingen vet hva er?Lobbyist Mio tar dere med på en (liten) tankestrøm om å være ikkebinær i en binær verden.

QueerStory is back with a down to earth look at Elton John. Also, off to the theatre with the latest production of Cock, we chat to 2 of the actors.Cock returns to London in an intimate new staging Wednesday 22nd April – Saturday 2nd May 2026 COLAB, 22 Southwark Bridge Road, SE1 9HB Press night: Thursday 23rd April 2026 Following sold-out runs in Canada and tours to Japan, South Africa, and Brazil, Cock comes to London this spring in a raw, intimate new staging from Canada's acclaimed Talk Is Free Theatre. Originally written in 2009 by acclaimed British playwright Mike Bartlett, Cock feels newly urgent in this bold reimagining which examines the play through a contemporary lens, embracing fresh experimentation to ask how shifting identities and a changed world reshape the questions at its heart. After the 2022 West End adaption that had everyone talking, this new iteration offers London the chance to encounter Bartlett's play again in a strikingly different, close-quarters setting, with an entirely new cast. 

Hvor langt ned i helvete befinner vi oss? Hvordan kan Emil unngå å bli lest som gay på byen? Og hva kan Maria (og alle andre) fokusere på for å distrahere seg fra stress og overveldelse i hverdagen? Dette er noen av spørsmålene lobbyistene Emil, Mio og Maria besvarer i denne chille og koselige onsdagsepisoden av Lobbyen.

Det er jammen ikke lett å lengte etter noen eller noe som ikke finnes – et konsept, for eksempel. Og enda verre er det kanskje å lengte etter noe man ikke helt kan sette ord på? Vel, jeg (Mar Valo) har forsøkt å sette litt ord på akkurat dette, i et øyeblikk med refleksjon. Men har jeg prestert å faktisk gjøre det? Nei, det får du finne ut av ved å høre på denne installasjonen av Agendaen poeserer.Her møtes to verdener: poesi og musikk – og de danser en romantisk vals. Sammen. En symbiose. Og de omfavner hverandre der de danser under stjernehimmelen. Dette er kjærlighet. Er det dette jeg lengter etter?Om du ønsker å lese diktet i ditt eget tempo, eller du ikke helt klarte å oppfatte alt som ble sagt, kan du finne teksten til diktet som en nettsak på Radio Novas nettside. Tittelen er «jeg lengter...» – sjokkerende nok.P.S. Musikken er komponert og produsert til denne episoden, og du gjetter aaaaaaldri hvem som laget den(

Åååååå nei da, vi er på ingen måte ferdig med å prate om at det er vår og at vi er våryre. Eller er vi egentlig våryre – altså kåte (per Ilja)? I denne episoden prater i hvert fall Ilja, Emil og Mar Valo om sine datingliv, og gjett om vi har vært aktive eller!!! Det blir også en vårrelatert (som i sesongen, ikke oss) smash or pass. Og til slutt ber Ilja de to særdeles erfarne datingekspertene Emil og Mar Valo om hjelp med et par dilemmaer som hen har møtt på i datinglivet sitt i det siste. Her blir det, med andre ord, masse latter og god stemning, men også reflekterte, seriøse samtaler – en solid kombo som vi i Lobbyen er riktig så dyktige på (og har en tendens til å ta i bruk fordi vi er så kule)

Mar Valo, Melinda og Nina tar en pause fra påskefeiringen for å hjelpe dere med hva enn dere måtte trenge. Hvordan fortelle foreldrene dine at du er skeiv? Hvordan begynner du strap on eventyret? Og hva er egentlig den beste sjekkereplikken? Dette og mye mer får du svaret på i denne påskespesialen fra Lobbyen

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.

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.

Have you ever known some hetero Christian married couple who were together a real long time and then one of them is like, “oops, I'm gay!” and they break up? A lot of us have known folks in this position. And we also remember the fallout and the “prayer chain” (read: gossip train) buzz when these woes befell our brethren. By the way, is there such a thing as “sisthren?” or “siblingthren?” There should be. We digress. Long story short, this podcast is hosted by a sisthren of “oops, I'm gay!” women in their 40's. Lindsay, Meg, and Sarai have all experienced different journeys in discovering, accepting, and embracing their queerness. In this episode, our Holy Ghosting triumvirate share the ways their paths wound from compulsory heteronormativity toward full awareness of their unique sexualities. In this episode topics include feeling like imposters, finding acceptance and love in the LGBTQIA2S+++ community, and navigating the aftermath of a lifetime of mandatory sexual repression. Content Warning: welp. These broads definitely talk a lot about LGBTQIA2s+ history including discussion of internalized homophobia, general homophobia as disseminated by the evangelical right wing from the 80's until…um, right now, and honestly, the hosts are wont to talk about sexual trauma kind of a lot. Listen with care, and if it's not an episode that feels good to you, take a beat and take good care of your beautiful human self. Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/holy-ghosting/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

We're closing out Pride Month in a big way with Emmy-nominated actress, writer, and producer, Rain Valdez (Razor Tongue; Transparent)! Rain, who describes herself as a heterosexual transgender woman, was born in the Philippines, and initially raised by her incredibly affirming grandparents. Things only changed when she moved with her mother and stepfather to Guam, and discovered that the people there were considerably less accepting than those in her home country. At the age of nineteen, Rain moved on her own to Los Angeles to pursue the arts, and was advised not to disclose to anyone that she was transgender. Believing this was her only path forward, Rain did exactly that for many years. But in June of 2016, bolstered by the beautiful community she'd met working on Transparent, Rain came out publicly in a VICE article. We have a candid conversation about what it's like trying to forge a career in the entertainment industry once it has decided that your particular marginalization is no longer trendy. Also, we discuss the many and varied ways that we as queer people can often feel "in between worlds," and what it means to try to align with your purpose within a system that was not built for you in the first place.Follow Rain on Instagram at @rainvaldez, and check out her website at rainvaldez.com and her company at rainbowrated.com!

One of the issues that is so close to our heart is how art influences culture. We often say that nothing can change the world the way art can—it brings us together across so many of our divides to discuss important issues. And boy, does our guest this week have a story about a group of artists who lived authentically and pushed against social boundaries. Nino Strachey. Nino is a writer, historian and public speaker who worked as Head of Research for the National Trust. Since starting her career with the Landmark Trust, she has worked for English Heritage and the National Trust, curating the homes of scientists, politicians and writers. Her new book "Young Bloomsbury: Young Bloomsbury: The Generation That Redefined Love, Freedom, and Self-Expression in 1920s England," is now available to order. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/alyssa-milano-sorry-not-sorry/message
