I came out as queer and nonbinary in 2023.
Since then the world has become a much scarier place for me and for my friends in the queer community. I’ll share some resources at the bottom of this post for allies to lend their support this month.
But this post isn’t for the allies.
This one is for the queers.
I’m stepping out the comfort zone of educating others to revel in some queer joy.
This month I made a very playful and joyous zine. It celebrates queer artists whose work has impacted me in a profound way.
Here are links to everything I mentioned inside it.
- Dan Levy
- Schitt’s Creek (TV Show)
- Alok Vaid-Menon
- Alok’s Hairy Situation Comedy Tour
- Alok on “Man Enough” Podcast
- Lex Croucher
- Gwen & Art are Not in Love (YA Novel)
- Mae Martin
- Feel Good (TV Show)
- Mae Martin Stand Up Comedy
- I’m a TV (music)
- Mae Martin’s Visual Art
- Mae Martin on Taskmaster (watch on YouTube)
- Dan Howell’s Basically I’m Gay
- Dan & Phil’s Coming Out as Partners
- You Will Get Through This Night (Mental Health Book)
- dodie
- Build a Problem by dodie (music)
- Rainbow by dodie (song)
I still have a few zines.
I’m having fun sprinkling in sparkly rainbow stickers and sequins.
But no glitter, I promise.
If you’d like one let me know.
I love trades (snail mail for snail mail) or you can buy a copy for $5 via Venmo.
Allies… we need you.
Your support matters. There’s a lot of work to do for queer & transgender people to feel safe and have access to everything they need.
Find a way to support the community this month & beyond.
That’s all for this month! I’ll be back with book updates next week.
Cheers,
