<description>Israel’s Massive Pride Celebration vs Nigeria’s LGBTQ Crackdown | This Gay Week

This week on This Gay Week, Karel and journalist Scott Jacobsen report from Kyiv to break down the biggest LGBTQ stories happening around the world — from celebration and visibility to fear and persecution.

In Nigeria and Cameroon, LGBTQ prisoners are still being jailed simply for existing. The organization Project Not Alone is working to literally buy freedom for some detainees, but how does that system work, and why are people being abandoned by the world community?

Meanwhile, Israel is hosting a massive four-day Pride celebration in Tel Aviv near the Dead Sea, drawing LGBTQ tourists from around the globe. But with tensions exploding across the Middle East, is now the right time for a major international Pride event?

Plus:
• Marcia Gay Harden delivers an important message for mothers everywhere
• LGBTQ youth are damaging their health in record numbers using a legal substance — what is happening?
• Global LGBTQ headlines, politics, culture, and human rights stories you need to know

Karel and Scott bring perspective, passion, and global insight to the stories shaping LGBTQ life around the world.

<description>Medical Mistakes Are America’s 3rd Biggest Killer | My Partner Died 25 Years Ago Today

26-83

A quarter century ago, a preventable medical mistake took the life of my partner, Andrew Lee Howard. Today, medical errors are considered the third leading cause of death in America — behind only heart disease and cancer. How did we get here? Why are so many families still suffering because of mistakes that should never happen?

In this deeply personal episode of The Karel Show, I open up about grief, survival, loss, forgiveness, and what it really takes to move forward after tragedy. Twenty-five years later, I’m still learning the lessons Andrew taught me: life is too short for meaningless meetings, everyone should grow something, cooking should come from passion, and even in the face of illness, you still have to get up and live.

We also talk about HIV/AIDS, caregiving, resilience, and why love sometimes means accepting people exactly as they are. If you’ve ever lost someone, struggled with grief, or questioned the healthcare system, this episode will hit home.

The Karel Show is one of the top independent podcasts covering current events, culture, politics, entertainment, and real life — streaming everywhere from Spotify and Apple Podcasts to iHeartRadio and Spreaker.
