YOU AND ME Edit 21  S

TEO Edit 7

In previous episodes, we explored the history of gay representation in TV and film, touching on stereotypes and the challenges faced by queer creators. One major roadblock has been the "Bury Your Gays" trope, which limits authentic representation by perpetuating harmful narratives that often depict LGBTQ+ characters as tragic or expendable, rather than allowing for diverse, fully realized stories.

In this episode, we’re diving into the origins of the "Bury Your Gays" trope, examining its ongoing presence in media, and discussing how creators can shift away from it to foster more authentic and meaningful LGBTQ+ representation in the future.

In previous episodes, we explored how queer themes have been woven into horror for over 250 years, highlighting that the genre has always had an inherently queer essence. It resonates with many members of the LGBTQ+ community since it often reflects feelings of otherness, fear, and survival, which are familiar experiences for those who have faced societal marginalization.

In this episode, Sean Abley, a horror journalist, award-winning playwright, and creator of Gay of the Dead, joins us to discuss the significance of queer representation, the power of building a horror community, and his latest project, Queer Horror: A Film Guide.

126. Gay Of The Dead: Unleashing Queer Horror (with Sean Abley)

Previously, we discussed our iconic pop queens and how their songs typically fit into distinct categories that hit an emotional button that appeals to gay men. These categories often include themes of empowerment, heartbreak, resilience, and self-expression, resonating deeply with the LGBTQ+ community, particularly gay men, who find solace and strength in these anthems.

In this episode, we continue our Gay Icons series with Stefan Mreczko joining us to discuss none other than the Queen of Pop herself, Madonna. As host of MLVC: The Madonna Podcast, Stefan chats with us about the iconic singer, songwriter, and actress’ boundary-pushing music, reinvention of image, and significant influence on pop culture over the past four decades

A RETURN TO THE BRIGHT SIDE

Old school vibes é sobre resgatar as batidas vibrantes que marcaram época. Ritmo, sintonia e qualidade, onde cada som carrega sentimentos profundos. Músicas feitas para tocar a alma, trazendo de volta aquela energia inesquecível de outros tempos. Cada som é uma celebração intensa, onde a música guia e eleva."

Situationships are undefined romantic or sexual relationships that lack clear commitment or future plans, often leading to ambiguous expectations between partners. For some gay men, growing up in a heteronormative society can lead to attachment issues or a fear of commitment, making them more likely to find themselves in situationships where emotional vulnerability is limited.

In this episode, we’re examining the telltale signs and red flags of situationships, discussing how these ambiguous relationships can affect mental health, and offering guidance on how to navigate a situationship if you find yourself in one.

A música sempre foi uma paixão que me acompanhou desde cedo. Desde criança, estive rodeado por melodias, tocando teclado e violão na igreja, cantando em grupo e explorando diferentes estilos. Esse envolvimento me permitiu desenvolver um profundo entendimento musical, compreendendo cada nota e sentimento por trás das canções.

Em 2018, realizei um antigo sonho ao mergulhar no universo do Tribal House, um estilo que desperta minha alma e move o meu som. A partir daí, decidi que meu caminho seria como DJ profissional, dedicando-me integralmente a esse objetivo.

Para aperfeiçoar minhas habilidades, ingressei na DJ Escola, onde dei os primeiros passos na música eletrônica, explorando suas diversas vertentes. Logo depois, também em 2018, tive a honra de estudar na Atomic – Curso para DJs, onde aprendi com a renomada DJ Mara Borges, uma referência no Tribal e uma mentora que me guiou com ensinamentos valiosos, que carrego até hoje.

Meu gosto musical é autêntico e distinto. Tenho uma afinidade especial por batidas intensas e vocais que marcam momentos, sejam eles atuais ou de gerações passadas, criando uma atmosfera atemporal que transcende qualquer festa e deixa uma marca inesquecível.


Minha busca pelo conhecimento musical é incessante. Mantenho-me atualizado com as tendências, e me aprofundo cada vez mais no entendimento do que torna cada beat especial. Afinal, para mim, a música é uma jornada constante de evolução e paixão, onde cada show é uma celebração que conecta e transforma.
