Join us this week for a conversation with the booty-shaking Vienna-based DJing duo, Acht Brüste. Listen to Gi and Filipa talk about their experiences of gender and sexuality in Curitiba, Lisbon, and Vienna, creating queer Brazilian funk dance spaces in Vienna, and of course their ever-changing metamorphosis.

This week, take a dip into the wonderful and mystical world of Aria Di Vine. From Opera singing to performing at Queens Brunch Vienna, Aria’s world is a unique one. Join us as she delves into what her drag identity means to her.

Join us as we discover the wonderful world of Barcelona drag. Two fantastic queens take us on a journey through discovering their identity in drag, building community, and they share how they ended up performing a drag brunch in the Villa Vida Cafe far, far away from home. Listen in to meet Wayúu Queen and Silfide Drag. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Queens Brunch 👑 (@queensbrunchvienna)

In this episode we talk to Bex about finding intersectional queer communities as an adult, existing beyond identity labels, and learning to change systems of oppression.

In this episode we talk about the legacy of violence against queer people, the danger of complacency, and how creativity helps us deal with trauma.

In this episode I'm talking to another of the featured artists from Visible, Erik Pekny, about using COVID as an opportunity to work on their art, transitioning at the same time, and the power of the internet to connect communities in real-life.

In this episode I'm talking to Matt, about poetry, the importance of creating your own identity independent of collective cultures, knowing yourself enough to know who you aren’t, and our infinite capacity for love.

This episode I talk with Diana Diamond, Drag Queen and advocate for the trans community in Denmark, about standing up to hate - and looking fabulous in pink in while doing it.

Animal Bro talks about their journey as a transmasculine person, their travels and challenges, and the art that this has inspired - our favourite feline, KweerKat.

Season 2 of The Queer Truth is leading with love, bringing you important conversations about who we are and the future we want to see. Transcription: Denise: Back in 2015 my good friend CC suggested that we start a podcast. That seems like a lifetime ago. After almost 100 episodes together, back in 2018, we took a break and focused on other projects. In Vienna, I started Villa Vida, a queer community café – and that still consumes most of my time. Yet there are conversations that I can’t forget and have decided to amplify. I’m back to share the many queer truths that I have had the pleasure to hear. Aurelia Theodora Mohl @aureelian: Everybody, everybody is queer. Diana Diamond @thedianadiamond: We just inspire each other. Animal Bro @animal_bro14: Like community, and this feeling of belonging. Erik Pekny @zebrakrebs: And I trust that I know who I am. Matt : My queer truth is love. It all comes from a place of love at the end of the day. And that’s what queer culture, queer identity, queer social, psychological, whatever it is, profile of queerness for me is coming from a place of love. Love, love for yourself, love for others. Love, that for me is my queer truth. I orient myself in this world with love. Denise: As I restart the queer truth by myself, I am trying to approach this project with love. Love for the participants, love for queer culture, love for our history – and love for our very, very bright futures. I hope that you’ll join me.
