About Jamie Royce

Stuff Queer* People Need To Know is a blog for all people in the queer community, L, G, B, T or otherwise. Topics covered include upcoming events, news stories, local queer community coverage, queers in pop culture, queer celebrities, commentary on the queer community and other issues with a Cincinnati, state of Ohio, Midwest, national and international focus.

As for your author, I am Jamie Royce, wordsmith. I am the freethinker of freethinkers. I can usually be found huddled over some sort of publication or writing, absorbing its content and scrutinizing it, of course. I hate people that automatically assume the elevator is empty and rush onto it as the door is opening. I loved watching the cartoon about BeetleJuice when I was kid, as well as climbing the bee-filled crab apple tree in my mother’s front lawn. Collecting free plastic cups that are given away at various events, I practically refuse to drink out of anything else.

Currently I am an award-wining journalism student at the University of Cincinnati and the opinion editor of The News Record. I am an active member of GenderBloc, a radical queer organization at UC, in charge of the GenderF*ck drag show and The Queer Canon.

Alternating Currents, the region’s only LGBT-focused radio program, is my latest venture. Listen on Cincinnati’s WAIF 88.3 every fourth Saturday, 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., or live stream from anywhere by clicking here.

*The term queer is used in this blog as a catchall term for the alphabet soup that is the LGBTQQIAAP … community. While some individuals do identify as queer and reject other labels such as lesbian or gay, I use this term not in a separatist manner but to be as inclusive and concise as possible.
