It’s June which means it’s Pride month!
Whether you’re marching in the streets in celebration of/solidarity with folks in the LGBTQIA+ community or dipping into the podcasts below – it’s a great time for us all to broaden our understanding, challenge our biases and champion LGBTQIA+ rights.
The Podcast …
Bulldaggers and Lady Lovers | History is Gay
The Idea …
Harlem Renaissance was far from gentile: there were dirty blues, hedonistic partying, and Black queer women leading the charge!
The Podcast …
Are you bisexual or heteroflexible? | Queer Collective
The Idea …
Could ‘heteroflexiblity’ give people the freedom to explore their sexuality without the permanence of a firm LGBTQIA+ label? Perhaps.
The Podcast …
Cassius Adair | Gender Reveal
The Idea …
Transgenderism is a delicate experience that exists far beyond the binary yet isn’t immune from racism, classism, sexism.
I’d be remiss not to shout out two of my favourite podcasts ever which happen to be fronted by LGBTQIA hosts …
- The Read by Kid Fury and Crissle – weekly hip-hop and pop culture chatter, with a slice of therapy and a big dollop of filth-reading!
- Vibe Check by Saeed Jones, Zach Stafford, and Sam Sanders – weekly group chat covering news, culture and real good vibes!
What’s your key takeaway? Let me know in the comment section.
Also…
I write scripts for podcast episodes.
Here’s a playlist of my work. I’m available – and very interested in doing more script work.
