Tracy Gilchrist, VP of Editorial and Special Projects for Equal Pride, joins The Vault Podcast for an insightful and inspiring conversation about queer representation in media, viral moments, and the power of authentic storytelling.

Tracy reflects on her now-viral “holding space” moment at the Grammys with Taylor Swift, Cynthia Erivo, and Ariana Grande, which sparked widespread discussion about queer visibility. She also shares her journey—from writing for local LGBTQ+ magazines to interviewing Hollywood icons like Nicole Kidman and Natalie Portman.

We dive into the challenges and triumphs of queer journalism, the importance of casting queer actors in queer roles, and the resilience of the LGBTQ+ community in today’s political climate. Plus, Tracy reveals her dream celebrity interviews and the powerful impact of artists like Dolly Parton and Jodie Foster.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone passionate about media, representation, and the stories that shape our culture!
