Amy is joined by creators Alex Masse & Frankie Gunn to discuss their podcast, I'm Feeling Queer Today, and explore the critical importance of listening to queer youth, plus Alex and Frankie share guidance for those questioning their identity and for those interested in becoming better allies to the LGBTQIA+ community.Alex K.

Their work has been seen everywhere from the Scholastic Writing Awards to Autostraddle, as well as in collaboration with Penelope Scott, Vancouver Pride, Simon Fraser University, and more. They're also a neurodivergent nonbinary lesbian, which greatly affects their process. When not writing, they're making music, and when not making music, they're writing. Occasionally, though, they can be seen working on their degree, or cozied up with their cat.Frankie Gunn is a transmasc interdisciplinary artist, musician and producer, currently working as a gardener in the Hudson Valley in upstate New York. Having not attended a traditional 4 year college, Frankie has acquired an a la carte education, doing everything from hairdressing and sound engineering to farming and agriculture. The thread that ties their work together is a hands on approach and a love of all things beautiful.
Embark on an enlightening exploration with Dean Nelson, LGBTQ pioneer and Whistler Pride and Ski Festival founder, as we dissect the critical need for compassionate leadership. In our heartfelt conversation, we delve into the chilling rise of violence against transgender individuals and the stark polarization gripping America. We share stories close to the heart, underscoring the dire need for leaders who champion facts and embrace diversity, steering clear of the treacherous path of fear and discrimination. The essence of democracy and pride takes center stage in our narrative, emphasizing the potency of being politically savvy, starting at the grassroots level. Discover the profound influence you wield by understanding the human rights stance of your local representatives—a tribute to the power vested in your vote. Our personal tales of empowerment and the symbolic triumph of salvaging a community event further illustrate the monumental impact of civic engagement on both personal and communal plains.Finally, we celebrate the triumphs of inclusivity within the workplace, sharing inspiring accounts from notable figures like a trans engineer at Electronic Arts and Olympian Mark Tewksbury. These narratives not only emphasize the importance of self-expression but also underscore the life-changing support of allyship. As we close, we're left with a message of hope—a vision of leadership that forms a more inclusive and secure world for everyone.About Our Guest:Dean Nelson, a vibrant force in his community, has catalyzed change and championed inclusivity throughout his remarkable journey.In 2006, Nelson played a pivotal role in rescuing Whistler's Gay Ski Week, igniting a passion for advocacy that led him to helm the annual festival, now known as the Whistler Ski & Pride Festival.In 2009, he co-founded the transformative Mr. Gay World (MGW) organization, merging sports, culture, and human rights to combat homophobia and nurture future leaders.A trailblazer, Nelson established the pioneering Olympic Pride House at the Vancouver/Whistler 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, setting a precedent for diversity in sports.Continuing his legacy, Nelson advises the Pride House Advisory Group, shaping inclusive environments for global events such as the Olympic and Commonwealth Games.Educated in resort management and Japanese language and culture, Nelson's career spans esteemed roles in hospitality and tourism before founding Alpenglow Productions Corp, the driving force behind Whistler Pride and Ski Festival.His notable positions and contributions include directing Vancouver Pride, co-founding Mr. Gay Canada, and spearheading initiatives like the Vancouver North America Outgames Planning Committee.Nelson's dedication hasn't gone unnoticed, earning him accolades such as Pride Toronto's Award of Excellence in Sports and the Thompson Rivers University Distinguished Alumni: Human Rights Leadership Award and an Honorary Doctorate of Laws.With unwavering commitment, Dean Nelson continues to inspire, leaving an indelible mark on the landscape of equality and inclusion.Social Media @GayWhistler @departuresXdeanConnect with Heather:Get Your Ally Toolkit Now, including a free primer! https://toolkit.chrysalismama.com/ally-free-giftYouTube: @chrysalismama9499TikTok: @chrysalismamaLearn how you can make an impact: https://linktr.ee/chrysalismamaSolutions listed on her website:

It’s been a couple of months since my last podcast. I took this year off from doing a June pride edition to recover from a car break-in, during which my laptop and bunch of my music were stolen. It sucks that we live in a world where people feel the need to steal, but I justify it by telling myself that they must’ve needed my belongings more than I did. Hey, there’s a silver lining to everything, right? However, I didn’t take June off from making new music. This high-energy mid-summer podcast contains my take on Carly Rae Jepsen’s summer 2017 jam – “Cut To The Feeling” – done in conjunction with my tireless production partner, George Figares. You’ll also hear another new remix that’s very special to me — my take on an anthem called “Faces” by an incredibly talented NYC-based singer named Mila Jam. Her soaring vocals send a message about staying true to your authentic self. Look for the release soon on iTunes and other digital retailers. And a huge thank you to DJ Grind, DJ Wayne G, and DJ Maryalice for their support on “Faces”! I’m honored to be part of the remix package for Dirty Pop’s new single — “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now” — a remake from the soundtrack to the movie “Mannequin” 30 years ago, which is currently climbing the Billboard dance charts! The update by DrewG and Brian Cua features new vocals by Taylor Olson & Jackie Orlando. However, rather than using my own remix on this podcast, I’ve included the remix by Israeli DJ Guy Scheiman. You can hear a snippet of my remix over on my Soundcloud page: https://soundcloud.com/djblacklow/dirty-pop-ft-taylor-olson-jackie-orlando-nothings-gonna-stop-us-now-dj-blacklow-preview The podcast ends with my latest Lorde mashup — I tackled “Green Light” in my last podcast and this time around, it’s “Perfect Places.” I’m obsessed with the New Zealander's latest album. And of course, you’ll hear plenty of other amazing new tracks throughout — along with my trademark presentation of new remixes of older tracks you know and love. Also, look out for a new deep house podcast in the next couple of weeks. It’s been an amazing summer so far of gigs, far & wide. Here’s where you can catch up with me over the next few months: August 5th - ONYX, XY, Vancouver Pride, BC, Canada August 19th - The Crown & Anchor, Carnival Week, Provincetown, MA August 26th / 27th - Lookout, San Francisco, CA Sept. 9th - Rich’s, Houston, TX Sept. 23rd - TBA, Atlanta, GA Oct. 21st - HNO - Halloween New Orleans The Tracklist: 1) Comin' (Original Mix) - Antoine Clamaran, Agua Sin Gas 2) If They Only Knew (Dan Slater Remix) – Alfie Alcuri 3) Cut To The Feeling (George Figares & DJ Blacklow Remix) – Carly Rae Jepsen 4) I Wanna Know Drift (Victor S Mashup) - Alesso x Tom Staar 5) Take Me Home (Dario Xavier Remix) - Cash Cash feat.
