    Favorite Things // On Guard Ep 34

    When the On Guard guys get together for our weekly cigars and conversation, we often mention some of our favorite things. So, we thought it would be fun to show our audience what some of our favorite things are because it’s fun to do and also it might give our viewers some further insight into each of us.

    BODY POSITIVITY // On Guard Ep 30

    The On Guard crew takes a look at a longstanding queer dance art form that has deep roots within the gay men’s leather community. Flagging (no, not the hanky kind) developed from fan and t-shirt dancing prominent in early American leather dance and later circuit party club culture. Today it is most commonly done using specially-made weighted silk flags spun while dancing. The modern iteration of flagging has seen a revival in recent years. The On Guard crew wants our audience to experience the joy of this unique queer art form while we discuss its leather roots and tangential cultural influences.

    BODY POSITIVITY // On Guard Ep 30

    The body positivity movement wants us to love our bodies regardless of our shape, size, color, sex, or ability. That’s a wonderful goal, but how easy is that to achieve in our modern culture that worships at the altar of idealized lean, ripped, muscled physiques? We bring in trainer Sterling Walker to help us explore this topic in an enlightened way. This episode tries to dispel false myths and negative beliefs that get in the way of full self-acceptance and embracing our full erotic self.

    Safety Blows // On Guard Ep 29

    After the last national election and seeing news reports shortly thereafter of a racist demonstration by white nationalists, Brent Heinze became even more worried than he had been and began to fear some horrifically troubling times ahead for the US. Those fears were sadly validated by increases in discrimination and hate crimes affecting people within LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and other communities. Not being one to simply accept a bad situation, Brent decided to do something. He formed Safety Blows, a grassroots nonprofit initiative to empower queer people and other marginalized communities to better protect themselves while also fostering strength and solidarity. In this episode, On Guard interviews Brent Heinze about his organization and safety within our communities.

The On Guard crew has a lively discussion to inform and inspire our audience to get engaged to save our democracy and protect our freedoms.
