Lil Was X has only been making music for three years, but his pioneering new ways of promoting his music online have made him a superstar the likes we haven't seen since Madonna or David Bowie. Authentic, open about his personal life, and not shying away from his sexuality, Lil Nas X continues to push boundaries in a good way. Exposing the hypocrisy of the right while at the same time becoming a role model for young people in the LGBTQ community.  

In this weeks episode we talk with Clint, one of Matt's longtime best friends about being an ally in the LGBTQ+ community. We discuss the importance of listening to those around us and adapting the way in which we think to become better allies for marginalized communites.

On this week's LIVE show we talk about Matt's second week of nursing school in this weeks "Nursing Check." We also discuss this past week's episode with special guest Bree, where we talk about "Gender Boxes." An interesting conversation that you should check out in the September 1st episode - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/stuck-in-a-gender-box-your-identity-and-why-it/id1493597091?i=1000534030474

HEADLINES

This week on our LIVE show we check in with Matt to see how his first week as a nursing student went plus some HEADLINES.

Have you ever said about someone after first hearing him speak, he sounds gay?

“Gay Voice” isn’t necessarily a real thing - It’s a stereotype and there are men, to a greater or lesser extent, who embody that stereotype. There are straight men who may sound stereotypically gay and there are gay men who may sound what we would say is straight.

Research has found that there is no significant differences in fundamental frequency, mean intensity, or vowel space between straight and gay men.  Linguistics professors Henry Rogers and Ron Smyth has also identified phonetic characteristics that seem to make a man’s voice sound gay. That research has shown that some gay men could adopt patterns from female family or friends they may be around, picking up those characteristics unconsciously.

For many in the LGBTQ+ community in the past and even today the need to change your voice is for the sake of safety and survival.

You shouldn’t have to change your voice, the way you dress, or who you are. Be proud of it.

This season we are going to be talking about all NEW topics that affect the LGBTQ+ community.

So much More!!!!!

What to expect from Season 3

Andrew Cuomo, Governor of New York and son of former NY Governor Mario Cuomo, resigned today after multiple women accused him of sexual assault.

"Wasting energy on distractions is the last thing that state government should be doing, and I cannot be the cause of that," Cuomo, 63, said in remarks Tuesday from the state capital of Albany.

Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul is next in line and will become the state's first female governor.

Hochul, who served one term in Congress before Cuomo tapped her to be his running mate in 2014, said in a statement she agreed with the governor's decision to step down.
