Beau my God

In today's candid Beau my God episode, host Beau Bradley (he/they) sits down with proudly disabled trans man and educator Logan Adams (he/him) to discuss all of the queer things. The duo start out by discussing their experiences coming out with family, both the good and the bad - and what it was like for Logan to come out at work, as the first and only transgender employee at his school district. As a leader and a role model, Logan explains how he has come out to his students, how he has began to pave the way for LGBTQIA+ individuals in his town and more! The pair share tidbits of gay history, their own past experiences, and what life has been like one year into COVID-19. Logan openly shares his experiences growing up as the different kid, and how he was stereotyped and picked on for being gay, even before he realized he was bisexual. Beau shares how he got the nick name "Tits" in high school and how life changed overnight when he went through puberty the first time, which leads into a discussion on the domino effect that happens when people realize the full reality of gender. This wholesome episode is one you aren't going to want to miss!

In this week's all new episode, Beau catches us up on some current events in the LGBTQIA+ community including how a Human Rights Tribunal in British Columbia enforced mandatory training and fees from a local restaurant after the business fired a waiter for speaking up against being misgendered in the work place, how an Orlando teen became the first Transgender Homecoming Queen in school history, and a catch up with Beau on his journey with Gender Affirming Hormone Therapy (GAHT), also known as Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), or Testosterone if you are being specific. Then the episode ends with a reading from Alok Vaid-Menon's book, Beyond the Gender Binary.

In this episode, host Beau Bradley (he/they) sits down with friend of nine years, Samantha Allen (she/her) to discuss topics ranging from their shared experiences growing up in small town, PA and as students and friends at Penn State, to the pace at which the American media is adapting to gender neutral terms and the diversity and inclusion of its staff.
Working as a lifestyle writer and editor over the past six years, from State College to NYC to Denver, Sami looks back on her upbringing, and her collegiate journalism experience and how it shaped the way she leads now, as a first time-boss in the industry.
The duo joke about their experiences in student organizations and in the classroom at Penn State University - a home they both admiringly look back on, but with much wider and weathered lenses. The truth is, systemic racism, lack of representation (of all types, shapes, sizes and colors) and the lack of diversity in faculty begs these intergenerational issues to persist. Dissecting fear of progress and change in the boomer generation, is just one of the bonus conversations you get in this episode. From politics to milk, no topic is off limits!
They touch on greek life and what it was like during their time at PSU, Sami's favorite professors, and even how BMG has played a role in her own family dynamic. If you are looking for the BMG episode Samantha so graciously talks about, it is "Windows and Mirrors with Beth Farr" from Season 1! Check it out if you haven't already!!
Grab a drink (or not) and settle in for this episode of what feels like "catching up with the girls," yes... girl is used as a loose term for the non-binary being that is Beau Bradley in this example.

Join Beau Bradley (They/Them/he/him) and special guest, Howard University PhD Student, and published expert on sexuality and non monogamy, Chris Smith (they/them/omni), as they discuss the intertwined nature of queerness and blackness, along with their personal journey with non monogamy. Chris explains the three main types of non monogamy, their experience as a queer child in a conservative black household and how everything they do is routed in love, caring, and respect. Other things covered in this episode include backwashing, cheating, and why it is imperative to be your own primary partner. Join along in this fascinating conversation where Chris's wisdom and knowledge can help us all learn to be more caring and accepting. In a world where at least 39% of the queer population in America identify as BIPOC, where better to learn then from the source! Don't forget to like, subscribe and leave a review! Can't wait to hear what you all have to say!
This episode contains minimal cursing, but I refuse to rate it as "explicit," because that does not apply to this episode.
