On this week's episode of Let's Be Perfectly Queer, we discuss new Legislation in Idaho targeting harmful materials that has made it riskier for librarians to lend books with LGBTQ+ themes to children. We discuss the potential penalties and the impact this has on limiting access to knowledge and understanding. It's truly heartbreaking.
But it's not all bad news! We also highlight a positive development - Thailand has become the first Southeast Asian country to legalize same-sex marriage! 🌈 Congratulations, Thailand!
In addition to these impactful conversations, we also provide a recommendation from our recent watchlist: "The Boyfriend," a Japanese reality show featuring Queer individuals living together. It offers a refreshing take on reality TV, showcasing authentic experiences and connections.
But it doesn't stop there! We dive into personal stories from the Reddit community, discussing topics like coming out and explaining Queer identities to children. We share our own experiences and perspectives, offering a lively and heartfelt discussion that you won't want to miss.
So grab your earbuds, get comfy, and join us for the latest episode of Let's Be Perfectly Queer. It's packed with informative discussions, uplifting news, and of course, a whole lot of queer awesomeness. Trust us, you won't want to hit pause on this one!
