Cheyenne Jackson, the amazingly talented Broadway star known for his electrifying and hysterical performances in "Xanadu" and "All Shook Up," opens up about his career in theater, film, and television, including cherished roles in "American Horror Story" and "Glee." He passionately discusses his transformative venture into cabaret with his latest show, "Signs of Life," where he shares personal stories and carefully chosen songs that create an intimate connection with his audience. Cheyenne is a treasure of our community, and it's a joy to hear him candidly talk about being a parent and engaging with the world.
In a heartfelt exploration of authenticity and activism, Cheyenne recounts his journey from Northern Idaho's oh-so-conservative landscapes to the vibrant life of New York City. He describes the challenges and triumphs of coming out, navigating fatherhood with twins, and balancing a thriving career in the arts while advocating for LGBTQ+ rights. Amidst sharing the joys of family life, the discussion highlights their involvement with Amphar's AIDS research and an eagerly anticipated cabaret show in Houston, underscoring the importance of community support.

Deborah Moncrief Bell talks with Mo Cortez about being intersexed and what that means in our community. It's a fascinating discussion about something people are often curious about but rarely gets explained as personally and properly as Mo does.
And Davis Mendoza Darusman talks with Sirius star Eddie Robinson about being a black, gay journalist who covers sports! He is also a single dad and has many topics to cover that reveal just what a community treasure he is.
Our episode takes a global perspective on LGBTQ+ rights, spotlighting critical issues from Italy's restrictive surrogacy laws to progressive steps in transgender rights in New South Wales, Australia.
