This week, armed with his tractor and JCB, we speak to Ben Andrews about life as a gay farmer. Ben is one of the founding members of Agrespect, set up to ensure diversity and inclusivity in the farming industry. I LOVED hearing about drag queens with freeholds, queer culture in Hereford and what happens when you unite the UK’s queer farming community in a WhatsApp group. Ben also shares his personal experience of growing up gay within a farming family and it's a beautiful episode x Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

You can buy Glyn’s book Sink The Pinks Manifesto For Misfits, Be Different, Be Free, Be You here. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

 Now then, Homo Sapiens is not a dating show. BUT that doesn’t stop you lot, because it turns out that when award winning writer and playwright Travis Alabanza came on the podcast last time and mentioned they were single, lots of you slid right on into their DM’s, offering to take them up town on a date!! Which means I finally feel like Cilla Black hosting Blind Date and I love it. SO after a good catch up about dating indie boys with guitars, Travis told us all about their brilliant new book ‘None of the Above: Reflections on Life Beyond the Binary’ and it’s a fascinating chat.

This episode is full of Ryan’s trademark honesty and wit, as we cover why I’m clearly lying about something all gay men do, what your slutty years can do for you, and we find out what did Ryan learn he is too famous to do in public?

Hercules and Love Affair’s incredible music was such a huge part of my twenties and thirties it was brilliant to get the chance to talk to the man behind it all for today’s epsiode - Andy Butler. We met up in person and talked the hind legs off the disco donkey, with me finding out why his first job at age 15 was dj-ing in a leather bar, what it’s like to work with Anohni, and some beautiful honesty about how he learned to truly connect in relationships. Plus - what’s all this got to do with wrestling? Press play to find out. Chris x Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week I’m coming to you again from my garden because I am grabbing what British Summer I can while it lasts. Who knows there may even be a crow update? Very exciting episode this week as a freelance journalist whose work I adore, Vic Parsons, has done us an incredible Audio Diary of their day at London’s Trans+ Pride march last Saturday. The march was a huge success, with plenty of laughs, lots of activism, and an overwhelming sense of unity dominating as 20,000 people peacefully marched from Wellington Arch in London and finished in Soho. It was a joy to see so many people from all across the trans and non-binary spectrum (and allies) creating a historic day that provided the trans community with a voice and visibility. In the words of Vic: “Now there are hundreds, if not thousands of people here. So many are wearing pink, white and blue trans pride flags and the inclusive LGBTQ+ flag. People are sitting on the grass, meeting friends, hugging, smiling and talking”. It’s a remarkable document of a beautiful day, so a huge thank you to Vic for letting us experience Trans+ Pride with you, it’s a properly special episode - Chris xRoe v Wade ResourcesNational Network of Abortion FundsThe BPAS (British Pregancy Advice Service)Oslo ResourcesSkeiv Verden VestPKI Norge📍H O M O S A P I E N S P O D C A S T📍Listen to Homo Sapiens ad-free by subscribing to Homo Sapiens+ on Apple📍Homo Sapiens Spotify Playlist📍NEW EPISODE Every Thursday📍Come play with us on socials Facebook & Instagram @Homosapiens📍Email us: [email protected]📍Podcast Host: Acast Hosted on Acast.

The “Don’t say Gay” bill came into effect in Florida last Friday, meaning that teachers and schools who discuss LGBTQ+ people, history or events can now be at risk of prosecution by parents. It’s a law that rolls back the rights of queer people in the same way Thatcher’s Section 28 bill did in the UK over 30 years ago in 1988. Yes, 1988! Ever since we got wind of it, we wanted to cover the story on Homo Sapiens, and we found just the right people to talk to in Zander Moricz and Brandon Trice. Zander is the youngest public plaintiff in the ‘Don’t Say Gay’ lawsuit.  He is his school’s first openly gay Class President who went viral when, despite being censored by his school, he chose an ingenious way to speak about his sexuality in his Graduation speech. Brandon Trice is an equally brilliant young lawyer working on the case. Together they are ‘seeking to stop the law in its tracks completely’ and after listening to this episode I think you’ll be fully behind them, just like I am - Chris xRoe v Wade ResourcesNational Network of Abortion FundsThe BPAS (British Pregancy Advice Service)Oslo ResourcesSkeiv Verden VestPKI Norge📍H O M O S A P I E N S P O D C A S T📍Listen to Homo Sapiens ad-free by subscribing to Homo Sapiens+ on Apple📍Homo Sapiens Spotify Playlist📍NEW EPISODE Every Thursday📍Come play with us on socials Facebook & Instagram @Homosapiens📍Email us: [email protected]📍Podcast Host: Acast Hosted on Acast.

Today I am joined by Ti Cersley from Gays Against Guns, in a bonus episode that seems more prevalent than ever following the terrorist shooting of LGBTQ+ people in Oslo last weekend. Gays Against Guns are an American organisation which basically does what it says on the tin - it’s gays and allies in the US trying to break the chain of death caused by outdated constitutional gun laws. Since 2016 they’ve been putting pressure on corrupt politicians, making companies cut ties with the NRA, and even protesting at gun shows. Ti told me how the gun industry in the US is all about marketing, control and addiction and how living in the UK allowed him to see what a country where guns are illegal can look like. This is more relevant than ever, because it’s not just happening in America.

It’s been a devastating week with the reversal of Roe v Wade and the shooting in Oslo. Homo Sapiens’s thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by the tragic events in Oslo, and to our friends in America - we are behind you and we will help you fight this miscarriage of justice. We have some incredible guests on the show this week, which was recorded before this past week’s events. They are none other than podcasting sensations Rose Frimpong and Nana Duncan. Their podcast, ‘Two Two’s’, has taken the podcasting world by storm because of their funny, honest and open conversations around queerness, friendship, race, pronoun fatigue and a whole load of other tangents that will always make you chuckle. We discuss the temptation to snoop through your partners phone, who out of the two knows how to throw a BIG surprise… and what the hell all of this has to do with IDRIS ELBA no less.

What more is there to say about this week’s guest Jodie Harsh that she hasn’t already said for herself? She is a true icon of queer culture, she was DJing in extra drag before Ru Paul’s drag race and she isn’t shy of expressing herself in oh so many joyous ways. Jodie also holds a special place in my heart because I met my husband at her night, Room Service!

This week’s episode is a very special one that we’ve been wanting to do for ages, so I’m so excited it’s finally here as we discuss Pride in schools. Part one is my chat with Geography teacher and founder of his schools LGBTQ+ space, Mr Mattley, and we are also joined by ex-pupil Leah Atkinson who wrote to us about how incredible and life changing the group had been. They told me all about understanding each other and how they’ve helped and educated one another through their journeys which is genuinely beautiful and moving.

It is hysterically funny, honest and at times bittersweet in its portrayal of the queer experience. We talk about how Black Lives Matter changed his whole perspective on work and life, what he said that got armies of Harry Styles fans coming for him in his DM’s, and how he finally got free of internalised homophobia.

‘Heartstopper’ is the new Netflix show that’s got you ALL talking, so we just had to chat to the creator Alice Oseman about how she brought her graphic novel to the screen with a brilliant cast of actors and fellow creators. We talk about how identifying as Aromantic & Asexual gives Alice a unique perspective on young love, whether she likes the label that the show has acquired of “the anti-Euphoria”, and why representation on screen matters more now than ever - Chris x Hosted on Acast.
