Our Own Queer Super Hero! Stunt Director Tig Fong in the House!

The stunt world of television and film is not one populated with queer people of color.  If Tig Fong has their way, that landscape will be changing.
Tig Fong is the Screen Actor's Guild nominated stunt coordinator director who is the first and only queer person of color to break into stunt coordinating in Canada.
Tig's  current projects include NBC’s upcoming series ‘The Lost Symbol,’ FX’s ‘What We Do in the Shadows’ and Amazon’s ‘The Boys.’  Tig’s credits further include stunt coordinating DC’s ‘Titans’ and NBC’s ‘Taken;’ rigging stunts on ‘It,’ and ‘Poltergeist;’ and performing stunts on ‘X-Men: Dark Phoenix,’ ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ and ‘Arrow.’ 
Identifying as Mahu ("third gender"), Tig is an advocate for BIPOC and LBGTQIA+ communities, as well as a creative storyteller who drives stories forward through action. In addition to creating action sequences for film and television, Tig’s goal as a director is to create content that tells the stories of BIPOC and LBGTQIA+ communities to give a voice to underrepresented groups.

Mistranslated: the Word ”Homosexual” Should Not Have Been in the Bible At All

"The Bible condemns homosexuality" is a statement that has demonized, ruined and in some cases, destroyed LGBTQ people for decades.  Opening modern translations of the Bible seem to confirm that statement... there is the word "homosexual" ... and its context is not good.  But.
What if the use of the word was due to a translation mistake?  
A new team of filmmakers have undercovered proof that it in fact WAS a mistake.  
Their upcoming feature length documentary is called 1946: The Mistranslation That Shifted a Culture. The documentary is a game changer as it exposes a transformational historical finding from the year 1946, which is the year when the word “homosexual” was mistakenly first introduced in the Bible, due to a mistranslation. This mistranslation would go on to shape theology, history, culture, and politics. 1946 sheds a light on how the misuse of the word “homosexual” has led to elevated condemnation of the LGBTQIA+ community, negative social stigma, and discriminatory legislation. The film features an original score by GRAMMY NOMINEE Mary Lambert (featured on Macklemore’s 2014 hit "Same Love").
Director SHARON "ROCKY" ROGGIO is with us today!  She is the lesbian daughter of an unaffirming pastor and frames her experiences from a unique lens as she works to continue to humanize members of the LGBTQ+ community in the eyes of the public.

SCOTUS Affirms LGBTQ+ Discrimination, and Disrupting Dignity, the Power Issues

Today, the Supreme Court , in a unanamous decision, ruled that Philadelphia may not reject a Catholic organization that refused to work with same-sex couples from screening potential foster parents. We will discuss that ruling with our guests, Stephen M. Engel and Timothy S. Lyle.  We will also be talking about their new book DISRUPTING DIGNITY: Rethinking Power and Progress in LGBTQ Lives (NYU Press, June 2021). In the book, they explore how dignity is deployed by different authorities in different ways—and often brandished to marginalize, restrain, and shame members of LGBTQ+ communities.
DISRUPTING DIGNITY explores the concept of Respect versus Respectability, with attention to how the chase for dignity has severed LGBTQ+ communities from the potential of liberated worldmaking.  
Stephen is Professor of Politics and an Affiliated Scholar of the American Bar Foundation. He teaches courses in US constitutional law, American Political Development, and LGBTQ+ politics. He is the author of multiple books including Fragmented Citizens: The Changing Landscape of Gay and Lesbian Lives and American Politicians Confront the Courts: Opposition Politics and Changing Responses to Judicial Power.  Timothy (they/them) is an Assistant Professor of English. They specialize in contemporary African American literature and culture, focusing on the intersections of race, gender, sexuality, and disability. They have published work on Tyler Perry in Callaloo and Continuum, on Janet Mock in the College Language Association Journal, Callaloo, and MELUS, and on HIV/AIDS narratives in African American Review and The Journal of West Indian Literature.
