Podcasts about world pride parade

This episode gets even more raw and real ...........We talk a lot about Dancing Queen the Netflix Series behind the scenes - The Moms that were always ready to challenge the teachers and especially Marcella.Justin talks about young Moms being stage parents and that they are great for TV. He talks about Riley's Mom being outraged about Marcella being too sexy and wearing thigh high boots - which in turn Justin shows that Mom a photo of himself in thigh high boots and asks her Why are you not outraged about me? We talk about Justin being the special guest performer in the World Pride Parade and 6 year old Ainsley dancing with him. He says that reality TV always has something dangling over you. Then Justin talks about his dancer Leah from Beyond Belief Dance Company, who also starred in Dancing Queen being truly one of his Heroes. She has beat all the odds - being a child with spina bifida who was told she probably wouldn't walk and here she is not only walking but singing and dancing in the new pop group XOMG.The group was created by JoJo Siwa.Leah has had over 35 day surgeries and 40 overnight surgeries. She has said to the doctors that "DANCE GIVES HER A REASON TO LIVE". The people at the studio are his tribe and they have become family because they have believed in him. Justin says that it is okay to tell your tribe some hard truths sometimes. We agree that it is easier for men studio owners to put dance parents in their place.He says that he has had to apply tough love and eliminate people - several of the families that were a part of Dancing Queen. They weren't a great fit in the end and he knows they will find a better place for them where they fit and they will be more celebrated. Reality TV creates stars - Kardashians are like the Royal Family of America off Reality Television and a sex tape. We ask Justin who is a worldwide global superstar how he stays committed to this small dance studio in Mesquite TX. Then Justin opens up about his new relationship with Steve. He gets very candid and tells us how they fell in love. He says he held a global Tinder audition for Steve and that he found THE ONE. We learn about their first date and the NY Times "ARE YOU COMPATIBLE" 50 questions. We truly look at Justin as our family and we agree that we are supposed to meet people for a reason. Justin felt like he truly did it after he finished his 53 cities tour with this LIFE, LOVE AND LASHES Solo Show. He brought Hollywood to Mesquite. We talk about the incredible opening night of the showin Dallas TX, that we were blessed to be at and the incredible Broadway Review he received. Then he shares the story about his father on season 5 of the Ru Paul Drag Race and how incredibly emotional that moment was. It was so impactful and finding that peace and serenity and fast forwardingto now he truly has the happily ever after!! At the end of the show we create a Matchmaking reality TV Show for Marcella and Justin being the Matchmaker. Justin's book of life has been written and is just now being read out loud. What a true Hero he is.

06/28/19 - Listening to both positive and negative concerns from members helps Cathy to stay informed and do her job better. In this podcast, Cathy has a chat with New York City Music Editor Chad Birmingham. They concur that it is the union’s job to protect the most vulnerable among us. The IA’s participation in the World Pride Parade is a visible symbol of the welcome that the IA and its locals are extending towards LGBT members, so members don’t have to hide that part of themselves.

On this week’s episode @CarpeDaryn (Taylor’s Wednesday cohost of “The Taylor Strecker Show”), gal pal, and @BravoAndy’s right hand woman joins Tay to recap what went down at NYC’s World Pride Parade and what happened on the @BravoTV’s float! Making out and Mayhem!

If there was no prejudice against LGBTQ people, we wouldn’t need to hold Pride parades all over the world during Pride month in June. We would be part of every day “straight pride”, which is the freedom to walk out and about without ever having the concern about your gender or sexual identity coming into question. Protests change in size, meaning, and voracity. To celebrate Pride – to revel openly as who we are, in public out on the streets, holding hands with the person we love, kissing our same-sex partner, making out with our trans lover, dancing in the ecstasy of the freedom of a single day surrounded by our “people” – is not only an act of celebration, but a public display and affirmation that we are here, we are queer, and we require/desire the same rights and freedoms as everyone else. That in itself is a powerful statement, and while most large North American Pride celebrations might not look like a protest, I argue that they are – albeit for the most part peaceful and celebratory. Pride make a statement about the state of LGBTQ people because of its very existence. How do we reclaim what Pride originally stood for? The Reclaim Pride Coalition answered that vital question with an alternative march to this year’s Stonewall50 and World Pride Parade in New York City, June 2019. According to their “Why We March” statement, “We March in our communities’ tradition of resistance against police, state, and societal oppression, a tradition that is epitomized and symbolized by the 1969 Stonewall Rebellion.” In episode 89, I shared Why Black Lives Matters was right, that uniformed police have no place at Pride, because of the history of violence and oppression by police forces against our community that is visually represented and triggered by the uniform. On the question of the commercialization of Pride – something I discussed with Jeffry Iovannone in, “Deconstructing the Myth of Stonewall and its Influence on Mainstream Society – LOP091” – the Reclaim Pride Coalition continues with, “We March against the exploitation of our communities for profit and against corporate and state pinkwashing, as displayed in Pride celebrations worldwide, including the NYC Pride Parade.” “Denial of equality is immoral.” As queer people we need to work together for the rights of all – against ideologies, restrictive and fundamentalist religions, racism, sexism, and all forms of prejudice. What hurts us, hurts other, and vice versa. Equality for some is not equality at all. When we celebrate, we marginalize. There will always be someone left our of our Pride celebrations. When we celebrate, without historical memory of where Pride came from, we risk marginalizing members of our LGTBQ collective. As much freedom as we feel we may have gained, we still don’t have humane rights for all – we only have human rights, which can be taken away by whoever is in power. “When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”Wayne dyer Know your history. Know why you chose to celebrate or party. Is it time for you to stand up and reclaim your pride?
