Loud + Queer Talks

Sit down with Elizabeth, Laura and a cup of tea to hear about our favourite queer musicians from childhood to now, how they inspired us as gaybies, and how they fit into our lives today. What makes an artist's music queer? What makes us feel seen and represented when our favourite musicians own their sexualities in their art? How does LGBTQ+ music fit into our lives today as young adults today? Tune in to find out more. 

This episode also features our weekly LGBT News Bulletin - including a new queer festival in QLD and a short dive into the United State's current slew of anti-trans legislation. Plus a Froth or Not to update you on our lives and loves this week.

Sit down for another episode of Loud & Queer to hear about LGBTQ+ news, local music, inspiring queer characters, and Laura and Elizabeth's highs and lows from the past week. Second Idol lead Kate Olivia joins us to explore queer representation in the music industry, the band's debut single, and Kate's cat Louis. 

Laura and Elizabeth compare the kinds of queer representation in texts from our childhoods against the strides made in today's media. Elizabeth loves on the ace and gay rep in the Percy Jackson series, while Laura hypes up Sex Education for the ways in which it fills the gap on LGBTQ+ sex ed. There is unanimous agreement that we need more bi men across media and literature.

This week Elizabeth and Laura chatted all things queer representation and coming out at different stages in your youth.

They discuss what it's like to come out when you don't have all the language or education about queer relationships and how queer identities are gatekept due to biphobia or lack of experience.

Elizabeth sat down with old high school friend Sam Kariotis, who has since made headway as an artist in Melbourne. He discusses his process, style, and how queerness relates to his work.

Don't forget you can catch your LGBT+ news update and a chill froth or not on every episode of Loud & Queer!

Meanwhile, Elizabeth sat down with LA-based bedroom pop artist Claud to discuss all things "Super Monster" - their fresh new album. 

We also covered what's been happening in LGBT+ news and ended the show with Froth or Not, a conversation which spanned cleaning out pet cages all the way up to the Facebook news ban.
