“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 Podcasts. It is presented by Joe Ali and produced by Daniel J. McLaughlin.

Alexander Pemberton, aka Elta Avelon, is a 24-year-old drag artist and resident queen at the Creative Arts Gallery in Burnley, Lancashire.
Since playing the part of young drag queen Angel Dumott Schunard in Rent the Musical as a teenager, and discovering RuPaul's Drag Race, Alex developed the character of Eltariel Avelorn, part-elf, part-kink, part-femme fatale.
Now in the third generation of the character, Elta Avelon joins The Out Crowd host Joe Ali to talk about the development of their drag persona over the years, performing as a queer artist in Burnley, how they hope to inspire future drag queens, and how the kink community helped them embrace their sexual identity.

Daniel J. McLaughlin is an award-winning podcast producer for Laudable, working behind the scenes on The Out Crowd, Alone Together, The Menopod, and many more. He also performs about his bisexuality as a stand-up poet on the music scene in Manchester and Salford.
In the latest episode of our LGBTQ+ podcast, Dan describes his experiences as an out bisexual man, discussing the biphobia and bi-erasure he has faced in both the hetero-normative society and the queer community.
He tells host Joe Ali that sexuality, like gender, is fluid and can change over time, as well as calling for a change in the language and behaviours aimed towards bisexual people.

Andrew Moffat is a teacher and author of the No Outsiders curriculum, a teaching resource that educates students about the characteristics protected by the Equality Act 2010.
It teaches children about all types of equality covered by the Act - such as protecting people from discrimination about age, race, disability, gender, sexuality. It includes inclusive education about LGBT+ families through the use of picture books.
No Outsiders was met by religious protests at Andrew’s school, Parkfield Community School in Birmingham. Andrew received homophobic abuse and threats during the protests, and was advised by the police to do a risk assessment of his travel arrangements from school.
In this second part of episodes dedicated to LGBT+ education, the openly gay teacher tells host Joe Ali how he has adapted his No Outsiders curriculum to religious communities, changing the language from celebration to acceptance.
Andrew was awarded an MBE in 2017 for his work in equality and diversity in education. In 2019, he was listed in Attitude Pride Awards, awarded Pink News Role Model of the Year, and named Hero of the Year in the European Diversity Awards. He was also a finalist at the Global Teacher Prize.

Baroness Debbie Wilcox of Newport was a teacher throughout Section 28, and continuously challenged the anti-LGBT+ legislation during her time in the classroom.
From hiding her girlfriend upstairs from colleagues when they came to visit to being openly lesbian in her school, Debbie discusses her experiences of being an LGBT+ person during her 30 years in education.
In a two-parter dedicated to LGBT+ education, Debbie speaks candidly to host Joe Ali how she navigated a dark time in our educational history.
Debbie, who was made a Labour life peer in 2019 and was previously the first woman leader of Newport Council and the Welsh Government Association, also tells Joe about her view on education today - and how she thinks it should change to accommodate young learners.
