Outward: Milestones Mourned and Celebrated
b"A year-and-a-half into the pandemic, Christina, Bryan, and Rumaan look back at all the times we did not get to share our milestones -- good, bad, or just big -- with other queers. If a queer comes out in the forest where no one can hear them are they still queer? Yes, but perhaps less joyfully than if they had been in community. The hosts then speak with Lucia Lucas, the first female baritone to perform a principal opera role on the American stage as Don Giovanni.\\nItems discussed on the show:\\nA recent assault at Nellie's gay bar in DC draws protests.\\nRichard Branson wore a rainbow ribbon during his space flight.\\nBreakthrough COVID infections strike Provincetown.\\nThe Sound of Identity, a documentary about Lucia Lucas's appearance as Don Giovanni.\\nGay Agenda\\nBryan:\\xa0director's cut of Studio 54\\nChristina: How Twitter Can Ruin a Life by Emily VanDerWerff\\nRumaan: two wistful and sexy short stories read by author Douglas Stuart on The Writer's Voice podcast.\\nThis podcast was produced by Katya Kumkova.\\nPlease send feedback, topic ideas, and advice questions to\\xa0outwardpodcast@slate.com.\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
