Currently Queer - Ep. 30
Show notes
Queer visibility is under attack all over the world. We remember Sophie Lee from Baltimore and break down the statistics of violence against the Trans community.
We unpack the BBC’s decision to pull RuPaul’s Drag Race UK after 11 series, why that loss matters far beyond one show, and how representation can vanish when institutions decide queer culture is too expensive to keep. The conversation widens to Alberta’s Saddle Lake Cree Nation creating a safe haven for gender-affirming care.
We expose the funding crisis facing LGBTQ+ organizations worldwide after U.S. aid cuts—and the escalating crackdown of Queer spaces and persons in Turkey.
Celebrate far north Pride at Longyearbyen Pride in Svalbard, where even the world’s northernmost town makes room for joy, community, and love.
