A podcast
about queer voices using healing, community building, and radical joy for personal and social change.
SuperQueers is a platform that will discover and uplift TGNCNB, queer and LGBTQ+ voices across the country to educate and inspire queer people - and everyone- on how these queer changemakers are transforming hate & discrimination into personal and social change, healing and power.
These LGBTQI+/TGNCNB luminaries are creating joy, building power, and organizing communities across the country through their activism, politics, education, or art. This podcast will center often unheard or marginalized voices that are bringing hope, love, healing, and change to our communities and society.
Why now?
America is going through the worst years in history for the LGBTQ+/TGNCNB community with over 400 pieces of anti-LGBTQ legislation across the United States, the deadly domestic terrorist attack of the Colorado Springs shooting, and the rise in murders and violent rhetoric from politicians and conservative media against queer people. This platform wants to emPower people to move away from despair and anger into finding hope, joy, and a path for action whether to change ourselves, our communities or the world. SuperQueers want to take back our queer and trans power and center our own narratives in today’s world.
