Welcome back to another enlightening episode of Queernundrum! In this episode, we dive deep into a crucial and often stigmatized topic, suicide. We wrap up with something lighthearted, we talk about the amazing Thom Hulce!
Resources and Notes: FYI, we are not medical professionals, you don't have to be either. When it comes to suicide, just asking is the beginning:
Opening Communication: Asking someone directly about their thoughts of suicide opens up a channel of communication. It lets the individual know that someone cares and is willing to listen without judgment.Immediate Relief: Many individuals who are struggling with suicidal thoughts experience immediate relief when they are asked about it. It can provide a sense of validation and acknowledgment of their pain.Connection to Help: Suicide assessment is often the first step in connecting individuals to professional help, such as mental health counselors, crisis hotlines, or support groups. Prompt intervention can prevent a suicide attempt.Safety Planning: Conversations about suicide can lead to the development of safety plans. These plans include strategies for coping with suicidal thoughts and identifying sources of support.Reducing Isolation: Suicidal individuals often feel isolated and alone. Talking about their thoughts can break the isolation and encourage them to seek support from friends, family, or mental health professionals.Risk Assessment: Professionals who assess suicide risk can determine the level of risk an individual poses to themselves. This assessment informs treatment and support strategies.Follow-Up: After the initial assessment, it's essential to follow up with individuals to ensure their safety and continued support. Regular check-ins can make a significant difference.Show Links:

Welcome to another episode of Queernundrum! Today, we dive into a crucial and often overlooked topic—the experiences of LGBTQAI+ seniors. Our elders bear the resilience of having navigated discrimination, societal prejudices, and the challenges of developing their identities in less accepting times.
Before we explore the unique journey of LGBTQAI+ seniors, let's take a moment to acknowledge the present. As of today, 84 anti-LGBTQAI+ laws have been passed across the country, while 227 were thankfully shut down. However, 187 laws are advancing, attacking various fronts like accurate IDs, civil rights, free speech, healthcare, public accommodations, and schools. (see ACLU to learn more).
A Glimpse into the Past:
Reflecting on the 1940s, homosexuality was largely criminalized, and individuals faced legal persecution. Living in the closet was a necessity, affecting their sense of community. Homosexuality was considered a mental illness, leading to harmful practices like conversion therapy. Discrimination in healthcare was rampant, and legal protections against discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity were nonexistent.
Progress:
Fast forward to today, and there has been a significant shift in societal attitudes. LGBTQAI+ individuals experience greater social acceptance, a sense of community, and there's growing acknowledgment of diverse gender identities and sexual orientations. Legal milestones, like the marriage equality act and the 14th Amendment, mark substantial progress.
Reflection:
Our elder LGBTQAI+ individuals came of age during times of extreme prejudice, while younger generations often experience more supportive environments during their formative years. Elders may have spent a significant part of their lives in the closet due to societal pressures, while younger individuals often grow up in a more visible and accepting LGBTQAI+ culture. Elder LGBTQAI+ individuals might have faced rejection from biological families, leading to the importance of chosen families. Younger generations often experience more openness within their families. We recognize this is not always the case., discrimination still exist.
Our call to action is clear: lets work together to create a future where our LGBTQAI+ seniors can age gracefully, surrounded by environments that honor their resilience, acknowledge their unique journeys, and celebrate the wealth of wisdom they bring to our community.
We celebrate the resilience of our LGBTQAI+ seniors, acknowledging the wisdom they bring to our community. As we advocate for inclusive policies and cultural competence in healthcare, we commit to ensuring that the journey of aging is marked by pride, acceptance, and a continued sense of belonging.

Welcome to another episode of Queernundrum, where we explore the lives and legacies of remarkable individuals who have left a mark on history. In today's episode, we dive into the incredible life and career of Dorothy Arzner, an American film director, a true pioneer in the entertainment industry, and an LGBTQ+ icon.
Dorothy Arzner was a trailblazer, and her story is nothing short of inspirational. Born 1897, she would go on to become one of the most prolific and innovative directors in the history of American cinema. In an era when female directors were a rarity, Arzner shattered glass ceilings and blazed a trail for future generations of women in film.
In 1927, she directed her first feature film, "Fashions for Women," making her the first woman to direct a sound film. One of Arzner's most iconic films is "The Wild Party" (1929), starring the legendary Clara Bow, a Hollywood sweetheart. It was a critical and commercial success and solidified Arzner's reputation as a director who could bring out the best in her actors and push the boundaries of storytelling. She was known for her meticulous attention to detail, innovative camera work, and her ability to create dynamic and compelling narratives.
Throughout her career, Dorothy Arzner directed numerous films, working with some of the biggest stars of her time, including Katharine Hepburn, Joan Crawford, and Lucille Ball. Her work covered a wide range of genres, from comedies and dramas to musicals, and consistently pushed the boundaries of what was possible in filmmaking.
But Dorothy Arzner's story is not just one of cinematic achievement; it's also a story of personal courage and resilience. Arzner was openly gay in an era when such a revelation was met with hostility and discrimination. She lived her life authentically and unapologetically, making her a queer icon and an inspiration to the LGBTQ+ community. Her work often featured strong, independent female characters, which was a reflection of her own determination to break through the barriers imposed by a male-dominated industry.
Arzner's influence on Hollywood extended far beyond her own films. She mentored and inspired a new generation of filmmakers, both male and female, and her legacy can be seen in the work of directors who followed in her footsteps.
In this episode, we explore the life and career of Dorothy Arzner, a visionary director, a pioneer in cinema, and a queer icon. Join us as we celebrate her groundbreaking contributions to the world of film and honor her legacy as a trailblazer who fearlessly shattered the glass ceiling, both in Hollywood and in matters of the heart.

Billy Haines was a notable American actor of the silent film era and early talkies. He began his career in the entertainment industry as a vaudeville performer and model. He made his way to Hollywood and gained fame as a leading man in numerous silent films during the 1920s.
Haines was known for his charismatic screen presence and comedic talent. He appeared in popular films such as "Show People" (1928) and "Tell It to the Marines" (1926), earning him a dedicated fan base. What sets Billy Haines apart in LGBTQ+ history is that he was one of the few actors of his era to openly live as a gay man in Hollywood. He had a long-term romantic partnership with his partner, Jimmie Shields, which was uncommon and often considered scandalous at the time.
Despite his success in the film industry, Haines' career faced a setback when rumors of his sexuality began to circulate. In 1933, he was faced with an ultimatum by MGM Studios to end his relationship with Jimmie Shields or have his contract terminated. Haines chose love over his career and left the film industry.
After leaving Hollywood, Billy Haines transitioned into a successful career as an interior decorator, becoming renowned for his stylish and innovative designs. He maintained a strong and loving relationship with Jimmie Shields for over five decades until his death in 1973.
In the years that followed, Haines' story became an important part of LGBTQ+ history, representing the challenges faced by gay individuals in the entertainment industry during a less accepting time. His choice to live openly with his partner and prioritize his personal happiness over his career was a bold and pioneering act.

Little Richard, born Richard Wayne Penniman, in 1932 Georgia. He was a trailblazing musician, singer, and songwriter whose contributions to the world of music are immeasurable. He is often referred to as the "Architect of Rock 'n' Roll" due to his pioneering role in shaping the genre during its formative years in the 1950s.
Richard's musical journey began at an early age. Growing up in a deeply religious family, he sang gospel music in church, developing a powerful and dynamic vocal style that would later become his trademark.
In the mid-1950s, Little Richard burst onto the music scene with a string of hits that would forever change the landscape of popular music. His energetic, flamboyant stage presence and wild piano playing, combined with his unmistakable voice, created a unique and electrifying sound. His breakthrough came with the song "Tutti Frutti" in 1955, followed by classics like "Long Tall Sally," "Lucille," and "Good Golly, Miss Molly." These hits not only topped the charts but also had a profound influence on future generations of musicians.
Little Richard's impact on the development of rock 'n' roll cannot be overstated. He helped bridge the gap between rhythm and blues and rock, infusing the genre with a frenetic energy and a sense of liberation. His gender-bending, flamboyant style challenged traditional notions of masculinity and sexuality in the conservative 1950s.
Despite his groundbreaking success, Richard faced numerous challenges and struggles. He grappled with issues related to his sexuality and identity, ultimately identifying as gay, though he had a complex relationship with his own orientation due to societal norms of the era. His life also saw periods of substance abuse and financial troubles. However, his resilience and enduring love for music kept him in the spotlight.
In the late 1950s, Little Richard experienced a religious conversion and withdrew from the music industry to become a preacher. He returned to recording and performing in subsequent years, often balancing his dual roles as a musician and a minister. This phase of his career saw him release gospel and spiritual music, reflecting his deep faith.
Throughout his lifetime, Little Richard received numerous accolades and honors for his contributions to music. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986, and his influence can be heard in the work of countless artists, including The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Prince, and David Bowie.
Little Richard's impact extended beyond his music. He challenged racial segregation in the American South during the Jim Crow era by refusing to perform for segregated audiences. His actions contributed to breaking down racial barriers in the music industry, paving the way for future Black artists.

In this week's show, we talk about the cancellation of Star Trek Discovery and Prodigy. In 2017, Star Trek: Discovery made a significant leap forward in LGBTQ+ representation. The character of Lieutenant Stamets, played by Anthony Rapp, became the first openly gay character with a significant role in the series. The show not only acknowledged his identity but also portrayed his same-sex relationship in a natural and positive light. This marked a significant milestone in Star Trek's commitment to inclusivity and LGBTQ+ representation.
The subsequent series, "Star Trek: Picard," continued the tradition of queer representation. It introduced a transgender character, Gray Tal, portrayed by Ian Alexander. This marked the first time a transgender actor played a transgender character in the Star Trek franchise, further demonstrating its commitment to authentic representation.
Star Trek has played a significant role in advancing LGBTQ+ representation in popular culture; it has sought to challenge societal norms, promote inclusivity, and provide a positive representation of LGBTQ+ characters. Those franchise boldly continues to be recognized as a pioneering force in the realm of queer representation within the science fiction genre, Paramount+ seeks to remove some of the shows from its network, claiming "low ratings", only we do not know what those ratings are and therefor have to trust this is not another "whitewashing" of our queer characters.

Stonewall Riots and the Birth of the Modern LGBTQ+ Rights Movement began long before the Famous 1969 New York riots and it will continue around the world for generations to come. Today, we talk about Spokane Pride.
Spokane Pride is a week-long celebration that brings together the LGBTQ+ community, allies, and supporters to honor diversity, promote visibility, and advocate for equality. Through events like the Pride Parade, Pride in the Park, and auxiliary activities, Spokane Pride fosters a sense of unity, acceptance, and celebration. It serves as a testament to Spokane's commitment to creating an inclusive and welcoming environment for all, and to the ongoing fight for LGBTQ+ rights and social justice in the region.
Spokane Pride also serves as an important platform for advocating for LGBTQ+ rights and raising awareness about issues that affect the community. It provides an opportunity to address challenges faced by LGBTQ+ individuals and work towards creating a more inclusive and equitable society.

Pride celebrations are annual events held in numerous cities around the world to commemorate and celebrate the LGBTQ+ community. These vibrant and inclusive festivals serve as a platform to promote equality, visibility, and acceptance, while also honoring the history and struggles of the LGBTQ+ movement. Pride events vary in scale, duration, and activities, but they all share a common goal of fostering a sense of belonging and advocating for LGBTQ+ rights.
In Today's episode, we talk about Disney+'s Pride From Above and Pride | To Be Seen. These documentaries cover Pride from around the world and being queer and seen. We learned about cities like Tokyo, Taipei, Seoul, and Bangkok holding Pride events that advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, visibility, and acceptance within their respective societies. These events often face unique challenges due to cultural and legal contexts, but they serve as important platforms for progress and fostering LGBTQ+ visibility.
In Africa, Pride celebrations have emerged in various cities, promoting LGBTQ+ visibility and advocating for rights amidst challenging social and legal landscapes. Johannesburg in South Africa, Accra in Ghana, and Nairobi in Kenya are among the cities hosting Pride events that celebrate queer identities, culture, and activism.
Australia and New Zealand also have a robust Pride tradition. Sydney's Mardi Gras is renowned worldwide, featuring a spectacular parade, parties, and cultural events that bring together LGBTQ+ communities and allies. Auckland, Wellington, and Melbourne are among the other cities in the region that celebrate Pride with diverse and inclusive festivities.

In today's show we talk about the decline in Queer representation in television/streaming providers. Since its inception as an integral part of our lives, television has both reflected and nurtured cultural mores and values. Television brought the realities of real-world events into our living rooms in vivid detail. From the unfolding story of the assignation of John F. Kennedy through to the death Lee Harvey Oswald, the Vietnam War, and the Cold War. With the resulting intense stress, many people turned to escapist programs such as I Dream of Jeannie to Game of Thrones – we have coined a phrase for this: “Binge Worthy”. From the Death of Princess Diana, the OJ Simpson trial, the 9-1-1 Trade Towers, wars, and much more. Television has brought these realities and escapist programs into our lives. Now, as we see unprecedented legislation against the Queer community we are seeing a drop in Queer representation in television for more heteronormative escapist programs.

CNN “Record number of anti-LGBTQ bills have been introduced this year”. At least 417 anti-LGBTQ bills have been introduced in state legislatures across the United States since the start of the year — a new record, according to American Civil Liberties Union data as of April 3. That’s already more than twice the number of such bills introduced all of last year.

We are back after a short long unexpected break.
We did it all in 4 months - packed, moved, moved again, traveled, illness, and work. We missed you and we are excited to jump back into it with this episode on Queer rights - an American legal battle.
In today's episode, To Be or Not To Be - Queer Rights, we talk about our home states: Washington and Idaho. Neighboring states with drastically different laws impacting our queer community.
Show Notes:
LGBT rights in Washington (state)
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) rights in the U.S. state of Washington have evolved significantly since the late 1900s. Same-sex sexual activity was legalized in 1976 after Seattle City Council passed an employment nondiscrimination ordinance and a housing nondiscrimination ordinance protecting homosexuals and then repealed the State sodomy law. LGBT people are fully protected from discrimination in the areas of employment, housing, and public accommodations; in 2006 Washington state enacted anti-discrimination legislation regarding sexual orientation and gender identity. Since 2012, same-sex marriage has been legal and same-sex couples are allowed to adopt.
Americans’ Support for Key LGBTQ Rights Continues to Tick Upward
Washington is frequently referred to as one of the United States' most LGBT-friendly states (top 5 states). Opinion polling has shown that a majority of Washingtonians support same-sex marriage and LGBT rights. A 2019 survey from the Public Religion Research Institute showed that 86% of residents supported anti-discrimination laws protecting LGBT people.
