×Colleges and universities in the United States are quickly abandoning their commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion. In this episode, David Hunt discusses this U-turn on DEI with Renee Wells, assistant vice president for diversity, equity and inclusion at Queens University of Charlotte. Wells formerly worked at North Carolina State University, where she worked to blunt the impact of the state’s anti-transgender “bathroom bill” that required public facilities to restrict the access of trans individuals. She developed a Queer Youth Leadership Summit for local LGBTQ high school students, created educational programs on social justice for faculty and staff, trained students to advocate for social change and launched a gender pronouns awareness campaign. Wells believes the community-building work of DEI is foundational to higher education and will continue, regardless of the language used to describe it. It's likely that many institutions will come to regret their moves to defund and de-emphasize programs that strive to create a welcoming campus environment for everyone. Time will tell.

Increasingly, work just isn’t working for LGBTQ people — especially for those of us who choose to come out and stay out on the job. New studies show a distressing trend, with companies backtracking on their support for a welcoming workplace. Alarmingly, 63% of LGBTQ workers say they have faced discrimination in their careers, and 70% feel lonely, misunderstood, marginalized, and excluded at work. In this episode, David Hunt tackles the question: Can you really take pride in your work if you’re discouraged from taking pride in yourself? He talks with two trans women who faced challenges and discrimination on the job: university professor Khôra Martel and biotech executive Alaina Kupec. Martel's teaching contract was ended shortly after she came out as trans at the University of Tennessee. Kupec transitioned while working at Pfizer but left the company after her career stalled. She is the founder and executive director of GRACE: Gender Research Advisory Council and Education, a trans-led nonprofit that advocates for trans rights. The program concludes with an interview with Dr. Jenna Brownfield, a bi/queer therapist who helps LGBTQ people with workplace issues. She provides advice for navigating a hostile work environment.

In 1977, with singer Anita Bryant leading a crusade against gay rights across the country, a small group of gay men met in Los Angeles to form the first political action committee advancing the cause of gays and lesbians in the United States. MECLA, the Municipal Elections Committee of Los Angeles, had modest goals: its members simply wanted to live their lives free of discrimination. At first, they had to beg candidates to take their money. After helping turn the tide against the Briggs Initiative, a 1978 measure that would have barred gays and lesbians from teaching in California’s public schools, the organization saw its fortunes turn. Seemingly overnight, candidates for local, state and national office clamored for MECLA’s blessing — and its money. In this retrospective, journalist David Hunt — who covered MECLA for Pacifica Radio in the 1980s — revisits the people and issues that put MECLA at the forefront of America’s culture wars. Listen to his archival recordings of some of MECLA’s breakfast and dinner meetings, featuring political heavyweights of the time such as presidential candidate Gary Hart, vice-presidential candidate Geraldine Ferraro, California Gov. Jerry Brown and former Representative Bella Abzug. Discover how MECLA’s push to close gay bathhouses caused a rift in the gay community, and how its reliance on “checkbook activism” met with mixed results. Explore the heartbreaking reasons for its demise in 1992 in the dark days of a global pandemic. In its 15-year existence, MECLA did what no other LGBTQ organization had done before: it earned the respect of America’s political establishment as a “special” special interest group with political clout and generous financial resources. Its rise — and fall— is a queer story of power politics in the Reagan era. A note on language: The initialism used today to identify sexual and gender nonconforming people and communities, such as LGBTQ, was not common until well into the 1990s. "Gay" was a common shorthand word for the movement before then. MECLA generally identified itself as a "gay" or "lesbian and gay" organization. I follow that practice in this program.

The history of the LGBTQ movement has been lived — loudly and proudly — in the public spotlight, in the face of relentless opposition. Thousands marched on the U.S. Capitol to demand lesbian and gay rights in 1979. Forty-two million tuned in to hear Ellen DeGeneres declare, “I’m Gay” on her TV sitcom in 1997. But millions more have made queer history in their own quiet, personal ways: living openly, supporting LGBTQ causes, and tying the knot in front of family and friends. For many, the process of coming out, finding friendship and love, and building community began in spaces hidden in place sight — in dive bars, leather bars, dance clubs, and taverns. For a deeper dive into our collective past, journalist David Hunt talks with Art Smith, whose online archive, Gaybarchives, documents the storied history of the gay bar scene. Journey back to the 1970s and 1980s and experience the specialized and often exclusive nature of gay bars post-Stonewall. Art Smith reveals how his project seeks to preserve the legacy of these influential venues, capturing the essence of a time when bars like the Hippopotamus in Baltimore were lifelines for many. As Daniel Jaffe recounts his eye-opening first night in Boston's gay scene, listeners will appreciate how these spaces once served as cultural classrooms, bridging generational gaps and fostering community connections. Join us in celebrating these establishments' transformative role in personal and collective journeys of self-discovery.

Relations between law enforcement and the LGBTQ community were hostile in the decades after Stonewall. Queers breaking out of the closet were often unlucky enough to find themselves handcuffed in the back seat of a police cruiser — picked up in police raids on bars and baths. So, you may be surprised to learn that cops and queers set aside their differences in Los Angeles in 1981, at least long enough to bring a killer to justice. In this true-crime feature, journalist David Hunt has the story of a West Hollywood manhunt with a Hollywood ending. Hear retired LAPD Detective Mike Thies recount his relentless efforts to solve a random assault case, ultimately uncovering a sinister pattern: a serial killer targeting gay men in local bars. The episode explores how Thies, in an unprecedented move, sought the help of the gay community to crack the case, marking a profound shift in police-community collaboration. Despite legal setbacks that saw the suspected killer released twice, Thies and the gay community refused to give up, tracking down witnesses who provided enough evidence to charge the prime suspect, Donald Miller, with multiple murders on Christmas Eve, 1981. In a deeply personal narrative, Madeline Brancel shares her poignant discovery about the life and death of her uncle, Robert Sanderson, one of Miller's victims. Her journey uncovers not only the tragedy of his untimely death but also the broader societal shifts since then. David Hunt, who covered the murders as a reporter for Pacifica Radio in the 1980s, brings the story to life through court documents, interviews, archival sound recordings and personal recollections.

Drag may be under fire today by the enforcers of “family values,” but in the early 1900s female impersonators were the mainstay of family entertainment — on the vaudeville stage and the silver screen. Julian Eltinge, largely forgotten today, was hailed as America's greatest female impersonator at that time, entertaining audiences in the United States and Europe with perfect displays of feminine grace and manners. In a conversation with journalist David Hunt, historian Andrew L. Erdman, author of "Beautiful: The Story of Julian Eltinge, America's Greatest Female Impersonator," shares fascinating insights into Eltinge's unique ability to engage audiences with his charismatic and boundary-pushing performances. Erdman explains how Eltinge's portrayals of women offered a thrilling yet non-transgressive lens through which audiences, especially men, could rethink societal norms. As we trace Eltinge's transition from vaudeville to the silver screen, we uncover the challenges he faced in an evolving cultural landscape post-World War I. The shifting societal views on gender and sexuality, along with the decline of vaudeville, posed significant hurdles for his career. Yet, Eltinge's legacy remains an intriguing chapter in entertainment history. This feature originally aired on This Way Out : The International LGBTQ Radio Magazine.

The United States Supreme Court heard oral arguments on December 4, 2024, in a case that could decide whether transgender youth are protected by the Constitution’s promise of equal protection. Although the case seems to stand on shaky ground before the high court’s conservative majority, a transgender attorney arguing the case stood firm. Chase Strangio of the ACLU made history as the first transgender attorney to argue before the Supreme Court, challenging Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming health care for minors. In this episode, transgender rights attorney David Brown unpacks the potential ramifications of this landmark case and explores some of the court's options. As we dissect the court's deliberations, we focus on the probing questions from Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, who exposed the state's conflicting justifications for banning gender-affirming care. In the program's second half, Kathie Moehlig, executive director of TransFamily Support Services, discusses the struggle for gender-affirming care in America, where 26 states have banned the treatment. Families face the harsh reality of relocating to "sanctuary" states for their transgender children's medical needs — if they can afford it. Listen in to gain insights into the emotional and legal landscapes families navigate and the pressing challenge of ensuring health care access for all transgender youth nationwide.

Meet Jimmy and Megan, a North Carolina couple who may be forced to move their family out of state to safeguard their nonbinary child's health. The Republican-dominated North Carolina legislature passed a series of laws targeting trans and nonbinary youth in 2023. One of those laws bans gender-affirming health care for children. Jimmy and Megan's middle child, who is nonbinary, may need puberty blockers in the next few years. With that option outlawed in North Carolina, the family is looking at other states, where gender-affirming care is protected. But moving means leaving behind friends and family members, a heartbreaking prospect for the family. In an audio feature for This Way Out : The International LGBTQ Radio Magazine, Jimmy and Megan discuss their life in Raleigh, the new state laws targeting trans and nonbinary youth, and their efforts to help their child understand and express their gender.
