The Two Gay Geeks

Vi melder ind fra svanseland med det sidste nye fra Aleksanders store aften på scenen ved Danish Rainbow Awards med Medina og Søren Brostrøm og mange andre store personligheder, samt hvor ekstra uhyggeligt det er at lige udenfor de sikre queer spaces i f.eks. Cirkusbygningen, der venter hadet og muligheden for overfald. Vi snakker også om den omdiskuterede kategori Årets Allierede, fordi skal vi virkelig hylde nogen for at gøre “the bare minimum”?  
 Så breaker vi årets, synes Josias, mest svansede og vildeste nyhed: de to hovedroller i filmudgaven af musicalen Wicked er endelig fundet og valget er landet på en af verdens største popstjerner overfor en af de vildeste musicalstemmer - kan Josias endelig få Aleksander til at forstå musicalmagien?  
 Vi slutter af med at snakke om ugens udtalelse: “Lev med det” og diskuterer derigennem, hvad vi har lært at leve med og om der er ting ved os selv, der stadig kræver lidt arbejde før accepten findes?

"Og vinderen er... ikke Dragedronningerne". Buuuh huuuh, vi tabte... eller vandt vi bare ikke? Er det ikke lige så godt bare at være nomineret og få opmærksomheden og hæderen ved at blive tænkt på? Og måske det egentlig også var meget godt vi ikke skulle dele én statuette, for det ville ikke have været kønt. Der er simpelthen dømt Rainbow Awards og den får hele armen, lige op i laktosegrotten.Support the show (https://mobilepay.dk/box?SITOaC7XJSeRkyrfDcvCRIj7A)

Vi starter naturligvis programmet ud med at få et par nye venner, og en af dem er Ronnie, der ringer ind til den første udgave af "Svar-forkert"-quizzen. Ronnie indtager den tomme førsteplads, og vi er spændte på, om han kan holde den. Det er blevet torsdag, og vi skal vende alt det kulørte gossip i en bladgennemgang. Her opdager vi, at "Se og Hør" har glemt at nævne vores deltagelse til "Rainbow Awards", og derfor ringer vores praktikant Sofie Sytnik "Se og hør" op! Vi slutter af med en omgang af P3's Bedste Portrætmaler, og Simon giver den gas til "Umbrella" i lytterkaraoke. Værter: Kathrine Abrahamsen og Mathias Helt.

Marie Koldkjær Højlund er gået solo og har under kunstnavnet Kh Marie udgivet et album fuld af beats, poesi og melankoli. "Intet er nok" hedder albummet, der er noget af et sansebombardement. Vi får besøg af kunstneren og taler også med en lydforsker og en formidler af lydkunstfestivallen Struer Tracks. Og så blev årets Danish Rainbow Awards vist i fredags på TV2 ZULU. Vi har talt med journalist og den ene vært på showet, Abdel Aziz Mahmoud om showets betydning for LGBTQ+miljøet - og så skal vi have uddelt ugens inspirationsstafet.

I dag har vi besøg af skuespiller Jakob Fauerby. Han blev for nyligt kåret til årets LGBT+person til Rainbow Awards sammen med Silas Holst, og derudover er han nyudråbt næstformand i Dansk Skuespillerforbund. I en uformel samtale vender vi de store perspektiver i #metoo-debatten, som er skyllet indover Danmark i den seneste tid. Der er en kulturændring under opsejling, men hvordan hjælper vi den på vej? Du kan som altid sende ris og ros til os på detbattermedsamiraogellie@gmail.com.

[18+] Three polyam canines in the 80s were a match made in heaven...but Tracker Dog Disease was hell. And the ghosts are coming... Today's story is “https://drive.google.com/file/d/1T8M-u3ccEuBPzEMwAhzeiFZXZGE1IF-Z/view?usp=sharing (Ghosts of Cinnamon and Lavender)”, originally published in last year's volume of FANG, by http://twitter.com/thurstonhowlthp (Thurston Howl), who is an editor for https://www.weaselpress.com/sinisterstoatpress (Sinister Stoat Press) and http://thurstonhowlpublications.com/ (Thurston Howl Publications). They were nominated for a Lambda Literary Award and ALAA Over the Rainbow Award for their gay thriller https://www.blackrosewriting.com/horror/straightmen (Straight Men) published by https://www.blackrosewriting.com/ (Black Rose Writing), and they have also written an HIV exposé called https://www.weaselpress.com/shop/preorder-blood-criminals-living-with-hiv-in-21st-century-america (Blood Criminals), published by https://www.weaselpress.com/ (Weasel Press). They also run the https://furrybookreview.wixsite.com/blog (Furry Book Review) program and facilitate the https://furrybookreview.wixsite.com/blog/leo-awards (Leo Literary Awards). This story deals with serophobia, which is the stigmatization and discrimination toward people living with HIV, and something the author has experienced themselves. Diagnosed with HIV in 2015, and taking a single pill a day, they are healthy and ‘undetectable', which means they're unable to transmit HIV even through unprotected sex. If you or someone you know is recently diagnosed with HIV, make sure to contact your local HIV/AIDS care network for early intervention services, and remember you're not alone. There are friendly ghosts, too. Read for you by https://twitter.com/khakidoggy (Khaki), your faithful fireside companion.

The Two Gay Geeks had a chat with J. Scott Coatsworth of QueerSciFi.com, he is also an author and website guru for a number of LGBTQ+ websites. We chatted about how he got into writing and what projects he is working on currently. This interview is part of our Pride Month Celebration.   About J. Scott Coatsworth Scott lives with his husband Mark in a yellow bungalow in Sacramento. He was indoctrinated into fantasy and sci fi by his mother at the tender age of nine. He devoured her library, but as he grew up, he wondered where all the people like him were. He decided that if there weren’t gay characters in his favorite genres, he would remake them to his own ends. A Rainbow Award winning author, he runs Queer Sci Fi, QueeRomance Ink, and Other Worlds Ink with Mark, sites that celebrate fiction reflecting queer reality.

I fredags kunne man på TV2 Zulu følge med i årets Rainbow Awards, hvor LGBT-personer fra hele landet blev hyldet. Youtuberen Julia Sofia løb med titlen som årets LBGT-person. I aften gæster hun AFTENKLUBBEN for at fortælle hvordan det føles at få sådan en pris og hvad det betyder for hende.

Hvis man glemmer at vaske sit tøj, så har Nicolas et trick, et trick som gør at man næsten kan have den samme t-shirt på i 5 dage. Praktikanterne Lasse og Tine var på den røde løber til Rainbow Awards, de talte med henholdsvis Christian Stadil og Julia Sofia omkring mangfoldighed og showet. Praktikanten Lasse var i byen i weekenden, han fortæller om hans vilde weekend i det københavnske natteliv. Hvis du var ude og spille golf med Donald Trump, ville du så sige til ham hvis han snød? Find ud af hvordan Ida-Sophia og Nicolas ville have reageret, hvis en kendt person snød overfor dem i dagens podcast. God fornøjelse.

Tanken om at tage alene til arrangementer er noget som kan skræmme enhver, Nicolas valgte igår, at tage alene til en rap-koncert. Mangfoldighed og kærlighed er to vigtige ting, to ting som skal italesættes og lægges vægt på, derfor blev der i går afholdt Rainbow Awards, Ida-Sophia og Nicolas har snakket med showets vært Ibi Makienok omkring mangfoldighed og hvad showet går ud på. Senere i dag bliver der fløjet to pandaer ind i Københavns Zoologiskhave, men har vi i virkeligheden fået pandaerne, eller koster de os noget? Praktikanten Lasse overvejer en ny tatovering, men hvad? Find ud af alt dette i dagens podcast.

Sangeren Sigmund lavede en indvandrerkritisk instagram-story efter et besøg på Nørrebro i København. Og bagefter blev han erklæreret for intolerant af de tolerante, der fyrede ham som artist til dette års Rainbow Awards. I denne udgave af Shitstorm på P1 taler vi både med Sigmund og folkene bag award-showet og forsøger at finde ud af, hvor rummeligt det danske LGBT-miljø egentlig er. Desuden besøg af Vincent Morris, der anmeldte Pernille Vermund for racisme, og som nu bliver shitstormet af den yderste højrefløj pga. sin fortid som indbrudstyv, svindler og deltager i Robinson Ekspeditionen. Og så får Abdel og Mads besøg af to bloggere, der må lægge ryg til grove, anonyme tilsvininger på det sociale medie Jodel. Et medie, der engang var kendt for den store forståelse brugerne imellem, men som nu bliver brugt til bagtaleri i stor stil. Værter: Mads Aagaard og Abdel Aziz Mahmoud.

Faith, trying to stay focused and get her life back on track, attempts to ignore her growing feelings for Candace to no avail.  What starts out as a casual and steamy interlude evolves into something more serious.

There's one problem. The object of Sabrina's desire, Diana, is deeply in love with Pam, the woman who has shared her life for the past eighteen years.

Passion and heartbreak come alive in this lyrical exploration of love, friendship, and family in Israel. A Small Country about to Vanish is Rona and Shelli's love-hate relationship with an ancient piano, each other and their difficult homeland - a country physically too small and politically too volatile to maintain its own existence. Wise and compassionate Rona believes in fairness and equality and shows a rare ability to feel empathy for her supposed enemies, while her friends and family want security first. Shelli, an avid reader of Holocaust literature, raises old but relevant questions. Must history repeat itself? How do we know when the political pot of hatred has boiled beneath us, making it necessary to leave our belongings behind and relocate, to save ourselves and our family?   Get This Book On Amazon here -> https://amzn.to/2FjrPkW (that link works for Amazon US, UK, Canada and Germany)   Did you know that you get exclusive content when you become a patron? Find out more here.   About The Lesbian Review The Lesbian Review is a popular website that features book and movie reviews.

Edge Of Glory by Rachel Spangler narrated by Ann Etter   Book Clips   Welcome to Book Clips, the mini podcast where authors and narrators give you a taste of a book with a short snippet.  In this episode we hear a reading from Edge Of Glory by Rachel Spangler  Synopsis  Corey LaCroix only wanted to snowboard, but Olympic medals and world championships only carry you so far when your knees ache and you're suddenly an underdog for the first time in her career. Elise Brandeis doesn't need a training partner, especially an unorthodox has-been snowboarder with an attitude. But Elise has already lost a full season to injury, and she's struggling to make the Olympic ski team. Can teaming up with Corey give her the edge she needs to go for gold, or will the snowboarder's infuriatingly cocky smile and rock hard abs prove a distraction she simply can't afford?  Both champions brace themselves for the run of a lifetime. Putting their broken bodies on the line, they fight the competition, the clock, and the frozen terrain for one more chance at glory. But this time, as they ride the razor's edge between victory and defeat, the stakes are steeper than any mountain they will ever face when legacies and hearts collide.  Rachel Spangler is the Golden Crown Literary Society and Rainbow Award-winning author of ten lesbian romance novels and novellas. She lives with her wife and son in Western New York.   Get This Book On Amazon (link works for Amazon US, UK and Canada)   Find Rachel Spangler Online Website  Facebook Twitter    Contact Ann Etter  via email  Facebook   You can find all our Book Clips episodes here
