Outward: How Can Queer People Keep Each Other Safe?
b'This month, hosts Christina Cauterucci, Jules Gill-Peterson, and Bryan Lowder reflect on the painful impact of anti-LGBTQ violence and dig into the new possibilities for trans storytelling and filmmaking. First, they talk through their complicated feelings about one of the responses to the shooting at Club Q in Colorado Springs last month: Should queer people be organizing in self-defense, or even arming ourselves for protection? Then they are joined by actress Jen Richards who portrays Barbara in Framing Agnes, a new documentary, directed by Chase Joynt, which is centered on six trans people who were interviewed and treated at a UCLA gender clinic in the 1950s. The film combines reenactments of those interviews with contemporary conversations with trans actors reflecting on how the lives of the people they portray resonate with their own lives. Our own Jules Gill-Peterson has a central role in the movie as a historian and narrator.\\nItems discussed in the show:\\n\\nSeason 2 of The White Lotus\\n\\n\\nChristina\\u2019s Slate piece, \\u201cI Think I Found Kyrsten Sinema\\u2019s Side Hustle\\u201d\\n\\nFraming Agnes\\n\\n\\nGay Agenda\\nChristina: shopping gay, including at The Little Gay Shop and Adam\\u2019s Nest\\nJules: \\u201cNot a Transition: On Andrea Pallaoro\\u2019s Monica,\\u201d by Eva Pensis in the Los Angeles Review of Books\\nBryan has created a bespoke cocktail for Outward listeners: the Cuddle Puddle\\n\\nThe Cuddle Puddle\\n2 oz rye\\n1 oz ginger liqueur\\n\\xbd oz Fernet Branca or similar\\nDash of orange bitters\\nStir the ingredients for a long time over ice, then strain into a cocktail glass.
