- 50. Two Boys Kissing by David LevithanFor our second week of Pride month, Kadi and Teffer review David Levithan’s Two Boys Kissing, a beautiful book about community, coming out, and gay heritage. We get really in depth about the importance of finding our queer ancestors, and being good queer ancestors. We talk about supporting queer kids, what being a good ally means, and a little about our own experiences of connecting with our queer history.Support us on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/yapodcastMerch! https://www.teepublic.com/stores/up-for-discusssion?ref_id=2539To suggest a book, email [email protected] or tweet at us @yapodcast@tefferbear @kadi__dGreat Bear Music! greatbearmusic.bandcamp.com/www.upfordnetwork.comSend us books!Upford Network ℅ Tom ZalatnaiPO Box 22585 Monkland POMontreal, QuebecH4A 3T4Canada54 min
- 49. Ash by Malinda LoWe’re spending August reading books about LGBTQ teens to celebrate Pride! For the next five weeks, we will review one book for each letter of the acronym (this year we’re going with LGBTQ, next year we may do one of the other acronyms!)This week, Sania and Teffer review Ash by Malinda Lo, a retelling of Cinderella centred around a lesbian relationship. We talk a lot about writing and adapting fairy tales, but also about crushes, astrology, and whether or not the fairy godmother represents death? Apologies to all the fantasy fans, because Sania and Teffer don’t have the fantasy chops and occasionally get a little tangled up in world building.Support us on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/yapodcastMerch! https://www.teepublic.com/stores/up-for-discusssion?ref_id=2539To suggest a book, email [email protected] or tweet at us @yapodcast@tefferbear @saniamalikxGreat Bear Music! greatbearmusic.bandcamp.com/www.upfordnetwork.comSend us books!Upford Network ℅ Tom ZalatnaiPO Box 22585 Monkland POMontreal, QuebecH4A 3T4Canada50 min
