In this episode of COL Drag Race ‘T-Time’, Gary and Damon return to the legends as the All-Stars keep going and going and going. From fashion reimagings to a Mean Girls Christmas Horror extravaganza, listen in as the guys give their slays and throwaways. As they appear to be the only ones actually critiquing the All Winners, let them ho-ho holler and give their opinions on where the queens are going as we inch ever so closer to the finale.
In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, the guys are joined once again by Edward Angelini-Cooke to continue our Landscape of Relationships series. For this episode, Damon is on assignment in Detroit, Michigan and will fill us in on his experience in a future episode while Jeff and Gary chat with Edward about what is a chosen family. From our origins to the aunties, cousins, sisters, and brothers we choose, the LGBTQ community has developed its own families. But are they still needed today?
“chosen families are nonbiological kinship bonds, whether legally recognized or not, deliberately chosen for the purpose of mutual support and love.
Families We Choose: Lesbians, Gays, Kinship, cultural anthropologist Kath Weston defines chosen family as consisting of “friends, partners and ex-partners, biological and non-biological children, and others who provide kinship support.”
The term originated within the LGBTQ community and was used to describe early queer gatherings like the Harlem Drag Balls of the late nineteenth century.
Movies like Paris is Burning, shows like Pose as well as RENT highlighted the concept of chosen families
Often times a protective factor against forms of discrimination and violence at home and helps create positive and, hopefully, secure, attachments with others.
Last year, New York City began allowing workers to use paid time off to care for anyone they personally define as family, whether they’re “related by blood or affinity.” In doing so, NYC joined other major metropolises like Chicago, San Francisco, and St. Paul, MN, as well as states like Arizona and Rhode Island, in honoring non-biological kinship.
In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, it’s our What’s Going On for the month of September. The cubs keep on keeping on with the same old song & dance. From work and music to Netflix and chilling, listen in as the guys bring you into fall and the final quarter of the year.
