Let us be crystal clear: A Gay & His Enby stands for immigrant rights. Period.

This isn’t just politics—it’s about people. Families being torn apart. Communities being surveilled and silenced. And the same systems that criminalize immigrants also criminalize Black people, trans people, queer people, disabled people—anyone who doesn’t fit white supremacist standards of “belonging.”

We believe:

If you’ve ever wondered how to help, this guide is a great place to start. Share it. Donate if you can. Speak out even when it’s uncomfortable.

None of us are free until all of us are free.

In recent years, states have pushed forward a record number of bills that attack LGBTQ rights, especially transgender youth. The current obession with Drag Queens is no exception. This is a thinly veiled attempt to outlaw gender expressions that do not fall within the cisheteronormative guidelines.

Sunday Sessions: 1000 Words returns for Pride Month with Arizona wrestler SOS, who shares an inspiring conversation about identity, creativity, and finding belonging in professional wrestling.

Host Roni Nicole sits down with SOS to discuss her nearly ten-year wrestling journey, from training at Arizona Wrestling Federation to becoming a coach and nationally traveling performer. Together they explore how storytelling shaped her wrestling career, what being pansexual means to her, and why authentic representation matters both inside and outside the ring.

SOS opens up about carrying the pansexual flag to the ring for the first time, blending family heritage and artistic influences into her character, and encouraging the next generation of queer wrestlers to never diminish who they are for someone else's comfort.

This episode also honors pioneering champion Sandy Parker, celebrating her groundbreaking legacy as one of professional wrestling's earliest openly LGBTQ+ world champions and her lasting impact on wrestling history.

Join us for another thoughtful conversation celebrating Pride, resilience, and the stories that continue to shape professional wrestling.

For this Pride Month edition of Sunday Sessions: 1000 Words, Roni Nicole sits down with veteran professional wrestler BH Doom for an intimate conversation about identity, authenticity, and finding the courage to live openly.

BH Doom reflects on his journey through nearly 15 years in professional wrestling, discussing what it was like to come out after establishing his career, the challenges of navigating locker rooms while hiding parts of himself, and the freedom that came from returning to wrestling as his authentic self. Along the way, he shares how community, mentorship, recovery, and representation have shaped both his personal life and his career.

The episode also includes a historical spotlight on Cassandro, the legendary luchador whose groundbreaking career transformed the role of the exotico and expanded what queer representation could look like in professional wrestling.

This is a conversation about resilience, visibility, and creating space for future generations—both inside the wrestling ring and beyond.

Guest: BH Doom

In Part 2 of our conversation with returning guests Eamon and Merlin, we continue exploring the intersection of mindfulness, acceptance, personal growth, and human connection.

The discussion moves through deeply personal experiences involving family relationships, coming out, marriage, forgiveness, faith, and the challenges of overcoming long-held beliefs. Eamon and Merlin share how authentic relationships can challenge stereotypes and why spending time with people from different backgrounds often breaks down fear and misunderstanding.

We also discuss the role of community, the impact of isolation on prejudice, lessons learned from faith traditions, and the importance of remaining open to learning from others. Throughout the conversation, themes of compassion, curiosity, forgiveness, and acceptance remain at the forefront.

This episode serves as a reminder that understanding often begins with simply getting to know one another as human beings.

Several years after their first appearance on the show, Eamon and Merlin reflect on the events that led them to leave Texas and build a new life in Pittsburgh.
