"Nothing is More Hopeful Than Joy” — Queer Joy and Queer Activism with Kierra Johnson & Scot Nakagawa
12/06/23 • 35 min
At the Task Force, we believe in showing up—we march at protests and lead policy meetings by day and take over the dancefloor at night. It’s that spirit—the one that connects activism with joy—that guides us as we mobilize and organize.
As our 50th anniversary year comes to a close, we sat down with our very own Executive Director, Kierra Johnson and Scot Nakagawa, co-founder and Executive Director of the 22nd Century Initiative to discuss why joy and celebration of our queer identities is a vital part of building a bold, inclusive, and intersectional LGBTQ movement.
The National LGBTQ Task Force would like to thank our podcast guests for their time and thoughtful contributions. And thank YOU for listening!

“Breaking Myths on All Different Sides” — Being Queer and Being of Faith with Reverend Nicole Garcia & Reverend Eric Eldritch
As queer people, we have seen religion used as a tool of oppression and exclusion for centuries – but there are thousands of us who are finding community and forging our own path through faith.
We sat down with Reverend Nicole Garcia and Reverend Eric Eldritch to discuss their interfaith work at the Task Force, living as an “ex-vangelical”, and dispelling the myth that you can’t be queer and be of faith.
