Description
Pride month is here, Avi (they/them) is here to snatch crowns and take names! HBO’s Genera+ion has rocked our world with authentic queer youth televsion, and Avi has the inside scoop through their connection to the series and how this groundbreaking work was created. The Hulu documentary The Orange Years about the history of Nickelodeon has us feeling all the nostalgia feels. The Italian film market has a giant mis-step and blatant transphobia in their casting for the dubbed voice of Laverne Cox’s character in Promising Young Woman. Then James is serving us history realness with his deep dive into the history of Ball Culture - which dates back further than you might think, it’s significance in the queer community, and influence on music, fashion, and mainstream. Avi the evergrowing voiceover actor has some great revelations about the growing presence of queer characters in animation. Guest Co-Host: Avi (they/them)- a latinx, queer, trans, nonbinary actor, voice artist, new cat parent (although I do like calling myself a Cat Dad) & recreational bike rider (and that’s a bicycle not a motorcycle) IG: @amroque, TW: @ok_roqueREFERENCE LINKS: Tulsa 100 years later DocumentariesThe Orange Years: Nickelodeon Doc on HuluDemi Lovato Comes out as Non BinaryBlue’s Clues Pride Parade Music Video HIstory of Ball CultureBallroom GlossaryRolling Stone- Striking A Pose A brief History of Ball CultureShondaland - Psychological and Political Power of Ball Culture Minority Korner on YouTube: https://bit.ly/2JsXEuuCONTACT USTwitter: @minoritykornerEmail: minoritykorner@gmail.comIG: @minoritykornerHost/Producer: James Arthur M: TW: @JamesArthur_M, IG: @JamesArthurM
