Episode 259: A Radiant Refusal

“Today’s episode explores the meaning of queerness and Pride, emphasising a joyful, defiant stance that rejects binary classifications and external definitions. The author of the source article, Dr. Jaime Hoerricks, argues that queerness is not a reaction to societal pressures but an inherent practice of living authentically, loving deeply, and building a life of ease and nourishment rather than mere survival. Dr. Hoerricks highlights the idea that queer existence, full of joy and self-acceptance, is a powerful challenge to systems that seek to confine and control, asserting that the spectrum and radiance of queerness are natural and unstoppable.”
