Furniture maker Mitchell Gold came in to speak to us about his other passion, saving LGBT youth. With his new book, “Crisis: 40 Stories Revealing the Personal, Social and Religious Pain of Growing Up Gay in America,” Mitchell offers a collection of tales from people in the community, both famous and not, about what it has been like to grow up gay in this country. It is heart-wrenching and powerful, and is a great resource for today’s youth and their families. You should definitely check it out and pass it around so we can further educate people about this crisis amongst the youth of the LGBT community.

We were so privileged to have author Mart Crowley join us in the studio recently to discuss the 40th Anniversary of his play, “The Boys in the Band.” He is an amazing man who had some great stories to tell. Be sure to check out the entire episode and grab the new edition, with a foreward by Tony Kushner, now out from Alyson Books.

David Stanley of Prism Comics stopped by to talk to us about his organization which focuses on comic books created by LGBT artists, and the various gay characters that have existed in mainstream comics over the years. He also brought with him an LGBT artist, Ivan Velez, creator of “Tales of the Closet” and Planet Bronx Productions. It’s amazing how much gay characters have made their way into comic books and how many people in the LGBT community are huge fans of the comic book world.

Erin McHugh

The Portable Queer Series is a collection of small books with wonderful snippets of gay life and history. Author Erin McHugh stopped by to tell us about the various saints and sinners in the LGBT community’s past. We were even treated to a reading in-studio. This is a great, fun series and is a perfect gift for any gay in your life.

Josh and I LOVE LOVE LOVE Diana Cage. She is a smart and sassy woman who is so great to chat with. She’s currently hosting a show on Sirius’ LGBT channel OutQ 109. She is also the author of a number of lesbian dating guides. She’s fun and hilarious and always tells it like it is. We could’ve talked to her for hours…

Katherine Linton

If you haven’t checked out the docu-series “Lesbian Sex and Sexuality” yet, you definitely should. It’s provocative and informative. The series’ director, Katherine Linton, recently came by the studio to chat about the second season which began airing on the network on September 5th. She tells Josh and I all about how she developed the series, how she chooses her subjects, and the crazy things she’s experienced while filming. Take a listen to the podcast, and then go check out “Lesbian Sex and Sexuality,” only on here!

On Friday, we posted an interview with accomplished actor Tate Donovan. Known for his roles in “Love Potion No.9,” “Friends,” “The OC” and most recently “Damages,” Tate chatted with us about his varied career in television, film and theater. It was a really interesting and fun interview and we were so glad to have Tate in-studio. Take a listen…

Mike Wilke, Commercial Closet Association

sara — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 15:05:06 +0000

Mike Wilke stopped by to talk to us about the Commercial Closet Association and how the LGBT community is being represented in commercials both positively and negatively.

It’s really interesting to see how companies are being more inclusive when creating commercials, but also how other companies still think it’s okay to degrade the LGBT community to sell their products.
