  2. Bi+ Stories Matter with Aaron Hammersly (Season Finale!)

    Bi+ Stories Matter with Aaron Hammersly (Season Finale!)

    This week features part two of my chat with Aaron Hammersly, filmmaker and production executive at Disney, board member on the LA Bi+ Task Force, and outspoken advocate for the LGBTQ+ community, working especially for more inclusive representation in front of and behind the camera. In this episode, we continued discussing "Bi+ Narratives: A Guide to Authentic Representation in Storytelling", the first comprehensive guide to portraying bi+ characters in film and television, which Aaron co-authored, diving into dozens of case studies of bi+ representation in the current film & TV landscape (like Schitt's Creek, Heartstopper, Game of Thrones, Call Me By Your Name, Baby Reindeer, and many more), what they're doing well, what's backwards or harmful, what's missing, and what we'd ideally like to see in the future. We also discussed the "manic pixie bi boy" trend, and finally we went through the guide's test for creatives to determine if what they're producing is authentic Bi+ representation.

  3. Authentic Bi+ Storytelling with Aaron Hammersly

    Authentic Bi+ Storytelling with Aaron Hammersly

    This week I sat down with my friend Aaron Hammersly, filmmaker and production executive at Disney, board member on the LA Bi+ Task Force, and outspoken advocate for the LGBTQ+ community, working especially for more inclusive representation in front of and behind the camera. Earlier this year, Aaron co-authored Re-Write the Bi-Line's "Bi+ Narratives: A Guide to Authentic Representation in Storytelling", the first comprehensive guide to portraying bi+ characters in film and television. In this IN-PERSON (!!) interview, we talked about Aaron's queer journey; "the social insidious nature of biphobia and bi erasure"; why it's difficult to represent queerness within the major studio system and in our current climate; the costs and benefits of being out at work for writers, producers, and other creatives; why it's unfair and unproductive when writers' rooms fill a "diversity slot" instead of valuing diverse identities and experiences across the board; and how Aaron got involved with "Still Bisexual", "Rewrite the Bi-Line", and co-author Christina Fialho in order to write the Bi+ Narratives Guide. We then dove into the recommendations in the guide (like "if the audience does not know if the character is bi+, we cannot change the narrative for bi+ people", and "expand opportunities and empower new voices"), and we began to discuss case studies of bi+ representation in the current film & TV landscape. Stay tuned for more with Aaron in next week's season finale when we continue going through the guide!

    Election Special with RJ Aguiar

    To get fired up and ready to go for the upcoming Nov. 5 election (and because I was behind on editing the next episode…), today I sat down again with our bi stepfather, RJ Aguiar, to talk politics! We discussed the importance of voting, especially for queer people, and what we're doing in the final two weeks to support the causes we care about (mostly: democracy!). Please make a plan to vote, and make sure your friends and family have a plan to vote. We cannot afford to sit this one out – the stakes are too high.

    A Non-Binary Entity of Pure Queer Joy & Stupidness with Mark Cusack aka Marco Fabulasio

    This episode features the second half of my interview with Mark Cusack (he/they), founder of the support site "Not Defining" (a space for anyone struggling with their sexuality, gender, or identity), ICF Certified Integrative Coach, and LGBTQ+ mentor. In this section, we discussed asexuality and the ace spectrum, what's so special about dating couples, how queerness intersects with neurodivergence, Mark's drag persona "Marco Fabulasio", and we each said "bye bye" to something we'd like to do away with in queer culture. Thanks for listening!

    Mark Cusack Defines Not Defining

    This week I sat down with Mark Cusack (he/they), founder of the support site "Not Defining" (a space for anyone struggling with their sexuality, gender, or identity), and we discussed why even under the Bi+ umbrella, many queer people are moving away from fixed labels and definitions of their identities. Mark is also an ICF Certified Integrative Coach and LGBTQ+ mentor, and we chatted about how his journey with content creation led to his new coaching practice (similar to my own story!). We also discussed stand-up comedy, authenticity, dating... and more, coming in part 2 next week! Thanks for listening.
