Curious Out Loud

Curious, Out Loud! is a movement to spark and engage curiosity about the lives and experiences of members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and how sexuality and gender identity intersect with race, religion, culture, and politics, and all things that we call life. Our commitment is to have the difficult conversations that are so often missed out on because of our “cancel-culture,”  so that we can learn how to better advocate for one another. Our vision is to create a community of connection, celebration, and compassion through these conversations.

    Inaugural Live Stream: Welcome to Curious Out Loud!

    Curious, Out Loud! is a movement to spark and engage curiosity about the lives and experiences of members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and how sexuality and gender identity intersect with race, religion, culture, and politics, and all things that we call life. Our commitment is to have the difficult conversations that are so often missed out on because of our “cancel-culture,”  so that we can learn how to better advocate for one another. Our vision is to create a community of connection, celebration, and compassion through these conversations. Why Curious, Out Loud? Curious, Out Loud! was born out of genuine curiosity. Tyge (Host) and Tif (Co-host) believe that the LGBTQIA+ “community" is a microcosm for what is happening in our world today, specifically the racism, homophobia, transphobia, sexism, ageism, misogyny, and all other modes of oppression that have always existed, but are coming into public awareness more than every before. As they explored these ideas with each other, a curiosity grew about what constitutes community. A recurring theme of this curiosity is how “the community,” a group who is primarily defined by who we are not, as opposed to who we are, in many ways promotes the same modes of oppression that they have been fighting against for so long. About the Hosts Host, Tyge Aleksander (Queer, he/him), was born into a LDS family. He left home for New York City when, as a teen, he came out and life with his family became unsustainable. Tyge “came of age” in New York City in the weird dichotomy of feeling at home for the first time, and experiencing the fast education of culture shock. He is a trauma coach and his mission is to support trauma victims in returning to themselves and rediscovering who they are and why they matter, particularly those who have experienced LGBTQIA+ related trauma. Co-host, Tif (Queer, Lesbian, Gay, She/Her) was raised by tumblr in her teen/twenties as a lesbian, hailing from the streets of Los Angeles. Tif’s influences were mostly Asian Lesbian women. When she moved to Boston, she found herself intimated by the intellectual language of the Ivy Queer. When she came home for the summer, her frustrations were the ever shrinking safe places for gay, lesbian and trans men and women. Her mission is to lower the barriers to this beautiful queer life and provide ways for LGBTQIA+ to create and own their spaces.
