General Queeries

Heya Folks! Today Megan is back, and we have a chat with Harry, an asexual man who is returning from our ace specials to continue our conversation on ace issues. This largely takes the form of a discussion on the exclusion of asexual and aromantic people from the LGBT community and the gatekeeping experienced therein. Take a listen for good chats and good bants. - Jonathan

Talking points: The Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paulo Freire, Milk

TW: Homophobia, Transphobia, Police Brutality

In this episode we address the riot at Stonewall Inn. Nita and Tahlya dive into what went down after the inciting incident and dispel some of the misinformation about who did what first. As well as how a routine raid became a five day long protest and the first ever Pride Parade. The duo also discuss the aftermath of the riots and the long lasting effects it had on the community. Tahlya continues to be a little radical bitch and now sports the merch to match. Links to that and everything referenced in this episode will be posted to the Facebook page. Take a listen and learn more about the first Pride, which was a riot.

TW: Homophobia, Transphobia, Police Brutality, Use of slurs

Hello everyone, we are back with our second part of our Stonewall specials. This week we take a look at the Stonewall Inn itself, a bar marketed toward the “alternative” members of the LGBT community. This includes examining its ties to the mob, and the creative phrasing used to allow the sale of liquor. On top of that we also deep dive on some of the notable names involved in Stonewall, including Marsha P Johnson, Sylvia Rivera and Storme DeLarverie. Lastly, we cover the start of the Stonewall riots, talking about various accounts given and conflicting stories. Take a listen to this vital part of our community’s history, and don’t forget where we come from.

Hello dearest listeners! Today we have a conversation with Harry, a returning guest! This time start on a rant about horoscopes and a deep dive on terms about it (I'm an Aquarius), as well as the prevalence of being gay defining characteristics and relationships. Tahlya also goes all literary theory on us and talks about the binary and dichotomy of societal expectations for men and women. If you know what that means I'm glad, cause I sure don't.

Have a listen and enjoy the podcast
