A link blog about sex and sex culture
She’s probably too modest to tell you herself, but the Carnival’s own Jessica Gold Haralson has landed a sex-themed radio gig! Once a week, Thursday nights at 8pm, you can find her on “1210 Tonight with Anthony Mazzarelli” on WPHT 1210AM, a Philadelphia talk radio market, talking about the sexual issues of the day. Even better, you can find the show archived here, so even non-Philadelphia listeners can tune in.
Good for her!

Kicked Out is an anthology, which chronicles the experiences of former queer youth and current queer youth who were forced to leave home as minors because of their sexuality and/or gender identity.
Kicked Out tells our collective stories of survival, weaving together descriptions of abuse, and homelessness with poignant accounts of the ways in which the queer community offered sanctuary, and the power and importance of creating our own chosen families etc.
Kicked Out offers advice and wisdom to the queer youth of today from former queer youth who have survived. Additionally, it provides the opportunity for readers to get a glimpse into the world of those queer youth who as a result of circumstance have had to leave home, while simultaneously shattering the stereotypes of who queer youth are, and what they have the potential to become.
Kicked Out showcases stories of overcoming obstacles, and not simply surviving but thriving in the face of seemingly insurmountable adversity. Kicked Out will explore the diversity of our experiences across lines of race, class, gender, sexuality, ability, and geographic region celebrating our differences, and showcases the ways in which they have contributed to our unique experiences.
Possible topics include but are not limited to:
• How being forced to leave home as a minor continues to impact your adult life
• What happened to you when you left home and how you survived
• Words of wisdom for today’s homeless queer youth—what you wished someone had told you
• Survival through the creation of “chosen familyâ€
• Challenges of dealing with CPS or other agencies
• Success through adversity- overcoming a troubled past

That’s right! SIRIUS SATELLITE is giving me two nights LIVE on the air as a test run for MY OWN SHOW! If all goes well, I’ll be on Monday to Friday from 10pm to 1am! But for now it is just a test. No promises. The more calls, sex advice questions, confessions and and online interaction we get, the better. Because that’s how they know there is demand for the show. I have lined up an interview with a BIG STAR (Her last name begins with a C, ends with and O and there is an H in the middle) for midnight tonight. I have three incredible co-hosts ~ Diana Cage (notorious sex writer and former editor of On Our Backs) and Jamye Waxman (long time radio vixen and Playgirl columnist) and Sirius Star and activist Kathy Sanchez!
