On this episode, QUEER VOICES looks at politics, history, and business. We begin by having Davis Mendoza Darusman speak with Molly Cook, a member of the Texas State Senate. Molly doesn't sugarcoat all of the challenges facing our community today inside Texas politics. Next, author and historian R. Lee Ingalls interviews Richard Watson about his life growing up and coming out decades back in Mississippi, New Orleans, and here in Houston. Richard talks about the challenges of being gay before it was legal or even accepted, and offers advice for us living in the here and now. Finally, Brett Cullum talks with Tammi Wallace about the GREATER HOUSTON LGBTQ+ CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. She focuses on women in business, but the conversation encompasses a wide range of topics for queer Houston.

This week, we have two interviews with Atlantis Narcisse, a trailblazing force in Houston's LGBTQ+ community whose journey spans decades of service, advocacy, and community building. From organizing HIV testing sessions in her living room during the 1990s epidemic to founding multiple organizations supporting transgender individuals of color, Atlantis embodies the spirit of compassionate leadership and resilient advocacy. We are running two recent interviews with her, because she is being honored at the OUT FOR GOOD benefit on October 4th. You can get tickets through the Montrose Center Website.

As founder and CEO of Save Our Sisters United, Atlantis created a lifeline for transgender women seeking safe healthcare alternatives to dangerous "street hormones." Her home, lovingly called the House of Capri, became a sanctuary where LGBTQ+ individuals rejected by their birth families could find genuine acceptance. "To be that house mother was to help take care of your real life," Atlantis explains, "not your club life, not anything else but your real life, and to see you as a person and empower you."

More information on OUT FOR GOOD can be found at:

https://montrosecenter.org/event/out-for-good-2025/

The segment following our spotlight on Atlantis is about the Upstairs Lounge arson attack that happened in 1973. 32 people died, and it remained the largest and deadliest attack on a queer space until Pulse in Orlando. Brett Cullum and Lee Ingalls discuss that history.

Finally, we talk with Michael Locher, who is over technical design at the ALLEY THEATRE. He takes us behind the scenes at THE DA VINCI CODE, which is running at the ALLEY THEATRE into October. Tickets for that performance can be found at the Alley's website, and if you want to attend the LGBTQ+ night, it is called OUT AT THE ALLEY. Here is a link.
