COL509: Are We Selling Out?

1 Comment

In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, the guys engage in a conversation on a tough question: Are we as a community “selling out”? With Pride Month coming soon as well as the 50th Anniversary of the Stonewall riots, the cubs ask some hard hitting questions. Have we become complacent with the recent wins in the LGBT movement and that we have started to become mainstream? Who is educating our youth of the struggles and has this lack of education affecting their engagement?

Show Topic

For decades, the LGBTQIA community has been working to gain equality. In light of the political climate here in the United States, are we selling out? Have we moved away from our roots of activism, advocacy, fight?

Bear Experience Action Readiness: Being a Virgin

We discuss what to expect as a virgin at a bear event/run and what our personal experiences were like.

Audience Questions/Feedback:

  • Baron W.: My first big event was GLLA, and I really didn’t know what to expect! It was exciting yet terrifying all at once. I guess what I wish I had known is that people are (usually) very warm and welcoming and if you put yourself out there you’ll usually find a new friend or five!
  • Joshua P. [Skeleton Crew]: Hmmm…I have never been to an event. From what I see and hear, they are very cliquey, and a fear I have is I would end up spending the time mostly by myself, or just with the people I attend with (which seems to defeat the purpose of attending these events).

Let’s Talk About Kink – Bootblack

  • Bootblacking is the practice of caring for boots, shoes, and other leather apparel. While the term “bootblack” originates from the 1800s, in recent years the practice has experienced an increase in popularity in the Leather subculture. Bootblacks are commonly found in leather and leather-friendly bars, providing their services to the bars patrons. [From the online resource: The Bootblack Wiki]
