Jonathan Joss (1965–2025) was a Native American actor and musician renowned for his roles as John Redcorn in King of the Hill and Chief Ken Hotate in Parks and Recreation. His tragic death on June 1, 2025, has brought attention to issues of hate crimes and the underrepresentation of Native American victims in media coverage. Native activists emphasize that Joss' death highlights an underreported crisis of mental health disparities and violence against Native and LGBTQ communities. #JonathanJoss #TrueCrimePodcast #MentalHealthAwareness #IndigenousVoices #MediaBias #OnceUponACrime #JusticeForJonathanJoss #NativeAmericanIssues #SystemicNeglect #TrueCrimeAndTrauma Resources: The Trevor Project – for LGBTQ+ youth and young adults in crisis, call 1-866-488-7386 or text “START” to 678-678 or visit their website thetrevorproject.org.

Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse, founder of the Ruth Institute, joins Father Jack to discuss the Institute's recent involvement in a major Supreme Court case on counseling freedom. She explains the arguments behind their amicus brief challenging Colorado's ban on “conversion therapy” and highlights the broader implications for free speech, religious liberty, and therapeutic choice. Dr. Morse also takes a critical look at the Trevor Project, a well-funded LGBTQ youth organization, raising concerns about its influence, federal funding, and online platforms. Tune in for a compelling conversation about the intersection of law, culture, and the future of family advocacy. Resources Mentioned: Ruth Institute: www.ruthinstitute.org Ruth Institute YouTube Channel Key Points: 1. Supreme Court Case and Amicus Brief: Dr. Morse and the Ruth Institute filed an amicus brief in a Supreme Court case challenging a Colorado law banning so-called "conversion therapy." The brief was submitted under the title “Brief of Sexual Orientation Scholars in Support of Petitioners.” The case involves a Christian therapist claiming the law restricts her religious and professional freedom. The Ruth Institute argues that bans on such therapy suppress alternative therapeutic approaches and violate rights of both therapists and clients. Father Paul Sullins provided statistical critiques in the brief, and Morse contributed case studies and analysis questioning assumptions about sexuality, including the claim that people are “born gay.” 2. Critique of the Trevor Project: Morse criticizes the Trevor Project, a suicide prevention group for LGBTQ youth, claiming it is ideologically biased and heavily funded. She notes that YouTube links the Trevor Project to content critical of LGBTQ identities, labeling alternatives like conversion therapy as harmful. Morse supports the Trump administration's decision to withdraw federal funding from the Trevor Project, redirecting it to general suicide prevention efforts. Concerns were raised about the Trevor Project's online community features, which critics have described as vulnerable to abuse. Morse references critiques from “Gays Against Groomers” and the California Family Council. 3. Underlying Themes: The conversation strongly critiques mainstream LGBTQ support structures and what Morse and the Ruth Institute view as coercive or ideologically driven policies. Emphasis is placed on the rights of therapists and clients to explore identity and trauma without mandated affirming approaches.

In this heartfelt episode of the Kankakee Podcast, we're back for a night of powerful storytelling recorded live at The Venue Lounge in Downtown Kankakee. It's the June 2025 edition of Yarn Factory Listeners, where community members gather to share and celebrate the stories that make Kankakee unique.The evening kicks off with Terry Streetman, whose moving account of courage, resilience, and the power of queer joy highlights why he chose to call Kankakee home. Terry recalls a harrowing experience at a drag brunch in Ohio, the threat faced by his community, and the unwavering solidarity and love that triumphed in the face of hatred. His journey ends with discovering acceptance and connection within Kankakee's vibrant LGBTQ community, inspiring all to carry forward the spirit of joyful defiance.Next, Jacob Cantrell steps up to deliver a raw and deeply personal reflection on grief, loss, and healing, recounting the tragic death of his older brother and the lifelong imprint it left. Jacob's brave vulnerability resonates throughout the room, reminding us of the unseen ways we influence each other's lives and the importance of connection through even our hardest moments.Brooke Hildebrand shares a fond and funny exploration of family ties, celebrating the unique shorthand, inside jokes, and enduring bonds that only cousins can share. Her stories of Yonka family chaos, comfort, and camaraderie spark laughter and nostalgia, shining a light on the joy of lasting relationships and the value of “weak ties” in our personal networks.After intermission, local favorite Van Johnson lights up the stage with a story of sibling “hazing” gone hilariously awry, bringing down the house with tales of childhood mischief, inventive payback, and the unbreakable bonds formed over a deck of cards.The night closes with acclaimed writer Taylor Ledding-McMaster, who turns an act of hate into a force for good. Taylor recounts the anonymous, bigoted letter she received after officiating her best friend's same-sex wedding and sharing the joy in her weekly “A Tailor Made Life” column. In true Kankakee fashion, Taylor responds not with anger but with creativity and community fundraising—turning “the devil delights in you” into a viral sticker that raises money for the Trevor Project and the Kankakee LGBTQ Network.Tune in for a tapestry of laughter, tears, resilience, and pride—woven together in a way that only a small town like Kankakee can. Whether you're a first-time listener or a regular at Yarn Factory nights, this episode offers warmth, inspiration, and a reminder that all our stories are interconnected.Don't forget to subscribe and join us each month as we celebrate the people and places that make Kankakee County extraordinary!Send us a text Support the show

On Thanksgiving weekend in 2006, 24-year-old Priscilla Pimentel, affectionately known as “Peaches” by her family, never showed up for dinner. Days later, her siblings made a devastating discovery inside her Queens apartment.Priscilla was kind, funny, full of life, and part of a close-knit Puerto Rican family. She was also a queer woman living independently in New York City, chasing her dreams and always staying connected to her roots. Her brutal murder remains unsolved nearly 18 years later.In this episode, we remember Priscilla Pimentel not as a headline, but as a human being. We look at her life, the circumstances of her death, and the questions that still haunt her case. We also zoom out to examine the long and painful history of violence against the LGBTQ+ community, from systemic failures in law enforcement to the rise of anti-LGBTQ rhetoric, and how it continues to manifest today. This is not just a story about loss. It's about the urgent need for visibility, justice, and respect.Content warning: This episode includes discussion of violent crime, including anti-LGBTQ violence.Call to ActionIf you have any information about the murder of Priscilla Pimentel, please come forward. Your tip could help bring long-overdue justice to her family.
This week, we are honoring Pride Month with a powerful conversation about storytelling, community, and the impact of showing up - not just for a moment, but month after month. At the center of this episode is Kate Anderson, Community Philanthropy Manager of Sustainers, who offers us an inside look at how The Trevor Project is building a movement of lifelong allies and deepening relationships with their recurring donors.You'll hear about the behind-the-scenes tactics they're using to drive 40-50% open rates, their high-retention onboarding strategies, data-driven storytelling, and interactive Pride kickoff webinar. Even the smallest tweaks (like a single line of text on a donation form), led to a DOUBLING in their monthly donor acquisition. As a leading LGBTQ+ nonprofit, The Trevor Project does a fantastic job of treating sustainers as advocates, and if you're tuning in, you'll be inspired to start showing up differently for your most committed supporters.Resources & LinksConnect with Kate Anderson on LinkedIn and learn more about The Trevor Project on their website, as well as their Pride campaign.

Something passed between them: the faintest hint of a common destiny. Does this describe Paul and Arlo's first meeting, or the first time Farmer Hoggett sets eyes on the piglet known as Babe? What's the difference? For a new That Was Then, the boys are joined by perennial guest Eric Sipple to discuss Chris Noonan's 1995 film Babe. Celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, the unlikely Best Picture nominee set a new standard for animal VFX and influenced a generation of vegetarians and vegans.

A brief update. I'm still going through chaos. I'm having to throw away a lot of things and re-organize my life. This is a brief pebble in the road on a memory that I wrote down in 2002. It was a bad time. There are ups and downs with having an anxiety condition. I was scraping cement at that time. I'm grateful that is this a memory. I'm going to shred this page but I've memorialized it so there is no loss.

The current obession with Drag Queens is no exception. This is a thinly veiled attempt to outlaw gender expressions that do not fall within the cisheteronormative guidelines.

“I hope there's a world where you don't have to come out of the closet because you never have to go in. We get to see each other for humanity and not what makes us different.” Carl Nassib former NFL player In a groundbreaking and deeply personal episode of The Pivot Podcast, Ryan Clark, Fred Taylor, and Channing Crowder sit down with Carl Nassib — former NFL defensive end, entrepreneur, and trailblazer — for an unfiltered conversation about football, identity, and forging your own path. Carl, who was the first active NFL player to come out as gay in 2021, may be tied to that moment forever but his purpose and legacy on and off the field goes far beyond all of that. From his early days at Penn State to making NFL history with the Las Vegas Raiders, the guys go through his football journey and explore the courage, challenges, and cultural impact of Nassib's voice in society and sports. Carl opens up about the moment that changed his life and the NFL forever: becoming the first active player to come out as gay. He discusses the weight of that decision, the support he received, and the backlash he had to navigate. The conversation takes us through Carl's mindset through his playing days with the Browns, Raiders, and Buccaneers, the highs and lows of being a professional athlete, and how his personal journey intersected with his career. But this episode goes beyond headlines. Carl shares insight into his post-football ventures, including his work with The Trevor Project and his foray into the world of finance and entrepreneurship. With honesty and humor, he talks about what it means to live authentically, redefine masculinity, and make space for others to do the same. He talks on how he misses the brotherhood of the NFL locker room, the bond with his coaches and teammates, his historical game vs Lamar Jackson and how his jersey will be a part of history at the Smithsonian museum. Carl's story has reshaped the conversation around LGBTQ+ representation in professional sports as well as opened the minds of others who for so long couldn't grasp the idea while inspiring a new generation of athletes to live authentically. Tap in for a powerful and thought-provoking discussion that challenges assumptions, celebrates courage, and highlights the strength it takes to pivot — both on and off the field.
