Currently Queer - Ep. 28
Notas del episodio
A queer community is grieving, and this episode opens with a heartfelt tribute to drag legend Bruce Winter, known onstage as Melinda Ryder, whose 50-year legacy helped shape Kansas City’s LGBTQ+ scene. Mark and Bernard share the news, the love, and the urgent call to support Kirk and Bruce through a GoFundMe while honoring a life that raised thousands for community causes and lifted up generations of performers.

We turn back to the news and share the shocking pause of gender-affirming surgeries in Wales after an anti-LGBTQ blog post triggered an official review, the deadly Tucson shooting outside an LGBTQ+ bar, and the real-world consequences of political fear mongering aimed at trans people. We spotlight a viral win for visibility with Philadelphia Eagles newest cheerleader Jackson O’Brien! In Houston, Texas, we celebrate Asia’s House, a new emergency shelter for queer and trans youth named in memory of Asia Foster, offering safety, wraparound support, and a bridge between youth and adult housing when it’s needed most.
