The Out Crowd - An LGBTQ podcast

“The LGBTQ community is not just for Pride – it’s for life.”

From protests to parades, parties to politics, Pride is all about visibility. The LGBTQ community is loud and proud, here and queer, after many years forced inside the closet.

The Out Crowd is the LGBTQ podcast from Reach, speaking to members of the queer community about their experiences in the past and present, and their hopes for the future.

The battle for equality still remains, and our podcast will look at the history of the struggle from those who continue to fight for it.

You will hear from activists, artists, drag queens, writers, educators, journalists, family, friends, and colleagues about what it means to be LGBTQ in 2021.

Our Pride podcast will also answer the questions about the LGBTQ community you may have been too shy to ask:

What does non-binary mean? What are the correct pronouns to use when speaking to trans people? What’s the difference between bisexual and pansexual? How can I be a better straight ally?

This is a celebration of queer voices who fight to be heard against the insidious waves of homophobia and transphobia still experienced today.

This is an education about the history and culture of the LGBTQ community.

And this is a podcast that is loud and proud, here and queer, and most definitely out of the closet.

The Out Crowd is a Laudable production for Reach. It is presented by Joe Ali and produced by Daniel J. McLaughlin.

The title music is Sunny Travel by Nico Staf.
