Feed Swap Fridays with Tenderfoot TV's latest podcast "Dear Alana": Presenting Dear Alana, Episode 1: Mom

<p class="p1">Family, welcome to our feed swap friday. This swap is with Tenderfoot TV’s latest podcast called Dear Alana. Let me tell you a bit about the story.</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">When Alana Chen died at the age of 24 in Boulder, she left behind two dozen journals chronicling a deep faith, love of fashion, and passion to become a nun. She also harbored a secret. At 14, she confessed to her priest that she was attracted to women. That priest convinced her not to tell her parents, and for seven years, Alana covertly sought pastoral counsel and conversion therapy. After being hospitalized for depression, she ended her life in 2019.</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">When Simon Kent Fung learned of her story, he reached out to her family to offer comfort. His own life was shockingly similar: he too sought out conversion therapy for nearly a decade in his efforts to become a priest. As he discovers more about Alana’s brief life and their overlapping experiences, he’s compelled to understand the truth of what happened to her—and finally face what happened to him.</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">In this first episode Simon travels to Boulder to meet Alana’s mother Joyce, and becomes determined to help her understand what happened to Alana.</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">I hope you enjoy this episode and if you want to hear more  Dear Alana visit apple.co/dearalana.

Voguing is NOT a Crime: We remember O’Shea Sibley & Anna shares a conversation about Black LGBTQ+ Representation in Entertainment moderated by Victor Jackson featuring Asiahn, Dyllon Burnside & Nicco Annan

<p dir="ltr">Welcome to our summer interview series. This week Anna DeShawn leads us into a beautiful conversation that was had last week in Atlanta at the Saving Ourselves Symposium (SOS) conference organized by the Southern AIDS Coalition (SAC). The conversation is from the Friday morning plenary that took place at the conference. It’s titled Black LGBTQ+ Representation in Entertainment moderated by Victor Jackson featuring Asiahn, Dyllon Burnside & Nicco Annan. I’m not giving the whole conversation but the second half which leads into the Q&A. I hope in the face of even the news I reported on today that you find hope in this conversation that we are still moving forward. That we are not going back into the closet. That we are not going anywhere. </p> <p dir="ltr">Donate to the Southern AIDS Coalition: <a href="https://southernaidscoalition.kindful.com/">https://southernaidscoalition.kindful.com/</a> </p> <p dir="ltr">Follow Southern AIDS Coalition on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/southernaidscoalition">https://www.instagram.com/southernaidscoalition</a> </p> Follow Southern AIDS Coalition on Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/SouthernAIDSCo">https://twitter.com/SouthernAIDSCo</a></p>  </p> <p dir="ltr">More on the Summer Interview Series</p> The Queer News team is changing it up for the next couple of months so we have a little more time to enjoy the summer, our families, and rest.
