About Queer Kid, Straight Mom

What is queer coding? How about queer baiting? And why is it okay to say queer now - it was an insult when I was a kid! Finding common ground with kids as a parent is tough enough without a new and specific vocabulary - but a willingness to learn about these terms and issues is one of the best ways a straight parent can support an LGBTQ+ kid. We hope that listening in as we discuss these topics can help you - whether you're parent or child, straight or not - strike up your own discussions at home. And if you're a kid who's not quite able to talk about these things at home yet, we hope we can make you feel loved and supported by welcoming you into our conversations.

Do Straight People Belong in Queer Fan Fiction Spaces?

As queer stories like #heartstopper and #heatedrivalry find wide appeal, tension arises as straight fans follow the fandom into queer spaces. One of these is spaces is the world of #fanfiction, long a queer refuge from heteronormative storylines.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
