    PrideCast Episode 23: Drag Queen Story Time and the Culture Wars

    As we get ready for Pride here in Seattle, we have so much to celebrate. We have one of the country's largest LGBQTIA+ populations. We're a beacon of hope, anti-discrimination, and Washington is notable for being one of the first two states to legalize same-sex marriage by a vote of the people. We are a welcoming place, but not far from here, just miles away, we've seen protests against our community, especially when it comes to drag queen story time. Today, we speak to the queen who helped pioneer this unique form of expression--ten years running, and at PrideFest no less--Aleksa Manila. And we speak with Lil Miss Hot Mess, who is a national and international leader on Drag Queen Story Hour, who will also help headline Seattle PrideFest this weekend. We talk of the history of this tradition and how it can actually be good for kids.

    PrideCast Episode 22: Trauma, Recovery, and Giving Back

    In this episode of the PrideCast, we learn the stories of three LGBTQIA+ Seattleites as we take a journey through trauma, recovery, and giving back. Learn about one woman spontaneously "playing" the piano (the soundtrack for this episode), how a second trip to prison was a turning point for one young man, and the healing power of beauty pageants for another of our interviewees, one of the few refuges from his cult upbringing.  The stories are all different, the paths to recovery all varied, but you'll find the beautiful lives these three have created from trauma and struggle to be inspiring and unexpected.

    On August 19, King County declared Monkeypox a public health emergency., and though anybody can get the disease, the vast majority of cases are still in men who have sex with men. In this episode of the PrideCast, we discuss the local response, what's going right, what Public Health can do better, and things you can do to protect yourself and your community.

    PrideCast Episode 19: Roe Overturned--What It Means and What Comes Next

    Over Pride weekend this year, the Supreme Court overturned a 49-year-old precedent established in 1973 in Roe v. Wade, reversing the federal right to abortion access in the US. This by itself is a massive social and legal earthquake, but the aftershocks--as promised by Justice Thomas--could reverse other rights. In today's PrideCast, we cover that decision, the basis for it, what may come next, and dive in deep to the legal and constitutional concepts of Substantive Due Process and the Right to Privacy. Our guest today is Julie Gonen (PhD, JD), the federal policy director for the National Center for Lesbian Rights, an expert on reproductive law and just the person we want to talk to about Dobbs and Roe. A few resources for our listeners (referenced in the podcast): Map of state laws: https://reproductiverights.org/maps/abortion-laws-by-state/See ineedana.com for up to date info on which clinics are operating throughout the countryDonate to Keep Our Clinics to provide direct support to independent clinicsDonate to Abortion Funds: A donation to the National Network of Abortion Funds brings abortion funds closer to a future where all people have access to abortion without shame or stigma. Support/Share Practical Support Organizations (PSOs): PSOs help abortion seekers with travel and logistical support.Direct legal services for those seeking abortion care·         Repro Legal Helpline provides free and confidential legal advice and information on self-managed abortion to people anywhere in the states or U.S. territories (also on parental involvement laws and judicial bypass for young people under 18). ·         Repro Legal Defense Fund provides financial assistance to people criminalized for self-managed abortion and pregnancy loss by assisting with bail, attorney fees, and defense costs

    PrideCast Episode 17: Jake Wesley Rogers

    25-year-old Jake Wesley Rogers has been making music most of his life, but his music career has exploded in the last two years. He came out as gay when he was 12 in rural Missouri and was on America's Got Talent when he was 15. Shortly after, he began producing music independently and was signed to Warner Records in 2020, releasing his EP "Pluto" in 2021. The title track from that EP contains powerful lyrics for a queer musician: "Hate on me, hate on me, hate on me, you might as well hate the sun, shining just a little too bright." Jake does indeed shine bright, getting the attention of Elton John (Jake's style is reminiscent of Elton in the 70s), Brene Brown, Brandi Carlile, and Ben Platt, among many others. He got our attention, too, which is why we're proud to feature him as one of our 2022 headliners. Enjoy this conversation with Jake Wesley Rogers.
