Our first topic is the anti-transgender action perpetrated on April 11 at UMKC by a transphobic guest speaker, and the reaction by the UMKC and KCMO police. We will speak to Faith, an eyewitness to the event who will give us an account of what really went down. Then we will talk to Michael Patch, the Artistic Director of Choral Spectrum, Kansas City’s LGBT+ chorus that works to create bridges between different parts of the Queer Community. Last but not least, we will speak with Ian Staten and Lucy Kullowner from the Redux Society, an organization working to bring back art, fashion, and dance from the past with a modern twist, holding monthly queer dances and working to make their lessons inclusive of queer and gender variant folk.

I do hope you will be able to join us this Saturday, April 27 at 1:00 pm on 90.1 KKFI, Kansas City Community Radio! You can also stream the program live on kkfi.org, or via various apps on your phone.
