An LGBTQ podcast featuring entertaining queer people, include celebrities, community leaders, and everyday people with interesting and positive stories. Challenges our community faces today may come up but we don't stay there long. On Queer We Are, guests aren’t allowed to just complain about the world as it is. They share what they’re doing about it, what you can do about it, and hear some good news for a change. Sometimes they’re here just to entertain.
Guests include gay, lesbian, transgender, bisexual, and non-binary, intersex, and allies sharing their stories.
Can a film change the course of LGBTQ+ cinema forever? Join a celebration of Pride Month with a deep dive into the landmark film "The Boys in the Band." Brad Shreve and film historian Tony Maietta guide you through a spirited discussion on this pivotal work. Brad courageously shares his initial reservations about the film and why he decided to give it a second look, while Tony emphasizes the importance of acknowledging both its triumphs and shortcomings.
In addition, Brad and Tony discuss the unique challenges the actors and honor the courage it took for them to take on these roles in the mid-60s and reflect on the tragic toll of the AIDS crisis on the cast. This episode not only celebrates the film's cultural legacy but also pays tribute to the bravery and resilience of those who brought it to life.
