A Look-Back at 2023 in Intersectional Queer Issues

All 5 Out-FM producers will come together in this program to do a look-back at 2023 in intersectional queer issues. We will talk about four of the many stories we covered last year:

• Gaza/Palestine & queers
• Anti-LGBTQ+ attacks -incl. legislation, book bans, attacks on drag shows, book bans, & overall demonization                                         
• The movement to Stop Cop City in Atlanta
• Anti-queer attacks in Africa

We will also recall some of the people we lost:

•          Black leader of Men of All Colors Together and veterans advocate James Credle

•          Black queer dancer O'Shae Sibley, murdered by a bigot

•          lesbian anti-Zionist Shatzi Weisberger, "the People's Bubbie", &

•          revolutionary and former political prisoner Ed Mead.

·      And of course the continued unabated wave of murders of Black trans women all over the U.S.
