Suicide is preventable. There is help and you are not alone. People around the world have adopted the symbol of a semicolon in their clothing, imagery, and tattoos to signify they too have struggled with thoughts of ending their life. We want to remove the stigma so that people who are struggling with thoughts of suicide can understand they are not alone and there is help available.
In this special episode of Community Organizer Gordon Clay and Scott Clapson talk about Project Semicolon, suicide awareness, and efforts in our community to remove the stigma around suicidal ideation. You are not alone and there are people who can help and ready to listen.

To celebrate the one year anniversary of the LGBTQ dinners at Oxenfrē Public House in Brookings, Susan Reaves and Scott Clapson talk about bisexuality, coming of age in the San Francisco’s Castro District, activism, and why visibility is important.

In the wake of the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision making marriage equality the law of the land, LGBTQ Spotlight host Scott Clapson talks with Curry County residents Paul Hempel and Bruce Newman about their lives as a married couple who happen to be gay.
Bruce Newmand and Paul Hempel
In this special podcast Paul, Bruce, and Scott discuss:
- growing up in unaccepting religious environments, the pressure on LGBTQ people to marry someone of the “opposite” gender in such churches, and the resulting trauma these experiences cause;
- “coming out of the closet” and the importance of being able to be authentic and honest with loved ones and people in their lives about who they are;
- HIV awareness in Curry County and the importance of getting tested; and
- Paul and Bruce’s current passions and travels.
Thank you Paul and Bruce for sharing your stories and being so open.

In this edition of LGBTQ Spotlight, host Scott Clapson has a lively conversation with Rachel Patterson, Jacob Patterson, Stephanie Wenning, and Kyle Clausen about their local Crescent City community group, Gender Talk.
Click to enlarge
Gender Talk’s mission is to promote gender and LGBTQ equality, and provide a safe space for representation, discussion, creativity, and expression.
Gender Talk was founded two years ago by Rachel and Jacob after they returned to their home town of Crescent City. Their goal was to create something that was missing when they were growing up: a support system for young women and LGBTQ youth, and a venue to educate youth on issues of equality.
Gender Talk has weekly meetings every Wednesday from 4:00 – 5:00 PM at Coastal Connections in Crescent City. Each meeting is focused on a piece of popular media. Clips taken from television, movies, music videos, commercials, etc., are used to initiate a discussion around familiar images demonstrating that issues of equality are everywhere. By showing the intersection of gender, sexuality, race, class, and ability, Gender Talk hopes to encourage open-mindedness and acceptance of diverse identities.
Building on their weekly meetings, Gender Talk has branched out to include a weekly radio show on KFUG (a community supported FM radio station in Crescent City), a quarterly publication, and a partnership with CASA of Del Norte County. This year they look forward to their first Summer Youth Media Campaign.
They welcome community involvement and invite anyone who wants more information or would like to participate to contact them at gendertalkcc@gmail.com or on their Facebook page, facebook.com/GenderTalkCC. You can follow them on Instagram and Twitter at gendertalkcc.
Don’t miss this lively conversation with these energetic young people who are making a difference in their community.

Our Chetco Community Public Library is one of the jewels of our town. Newly renovated, it feels bright and spacious, and chock-full of good books. But, we continue to mirror the narrative that is impacting libraries across the nation, that a small group of people can and should dictate what is available for all to read. Join Our Community host Candice Michel and Chetco Community Public Library Board Chairperson Pat Piper as they discuss book banning and restricting, the laws regulating Public Libraries, and lack of civility to our Library Staff.
