Outward: Queer Families in Kindergarten and the Multiverse

Published: April 20, 2022, 7 a.m.

b"This month Bryan, Christina, and Jules take a break from talking about the hostile legislation queer and trans people are fighting against to talk about what they\\u2019re fighting for. Brooklyn kindergarten teacher Eliza Cutler joins the hosts to share what it looks like when teachers are free to speak about LGBTQ lives in the classroom. Then they discuss the queer family drama at the heart of the new genre-bending, multiverse-hopping film Everything Everywhere All at Once. (NOTE: If you don't want to hear spoilers for Everything Everywhere All at Once, you can jump from the 33-minute mark to the 59-minute point, but come back after you've seen the movie. You don't want to miss this conversation.)\\nItems discussed in the show:\\nRobbie Pierce\\u2019s Twitter thread about the homophobic harassment his family endured while riding Amtrak\\nQueers responding to homophobic legislation with \\u2026 merch\\nThe long life and sad demise of Bitch Media.\\nThey She He Me: Free to Be, by Maya Christina Gonzalez and Matthew SG\\nMorris Micklewhite and the Tangerine Dress, by Christine Baldacchino and Isabelle Malenfant\\nJacob\\u2019s New Dress, by Sarah and Ian Hoffman and Chris Cage\\nIntroducing Teddy, by Jessica Walton and Dougal MacPherson\\nPugdog, by Andrea U\\u2019Ren\\n\\u201cEverything Everywhere All at Once Is a Queer Masterpiece of Colossa Sincerity,\\u201d by Drew Gregory, in Autostraddle\\xa0\\n\\u201cEverything Everywhere All at Once Is an Emotional Gut Punch About Queer Erasure, Acceptance,\\u201d by Patrick Ryan, in USA Today\\n\\u201cThis One Stale Joke Won\\u2019t Let Everything Everywhere All at Once Be Great,\\u201d by Kyle Turner, in W\\n\\u201cOn Being Trans and Watching Everything Everywhere All at Once,\\u201d by Linda Codega, in Gizmodo\\n\\nGay Agenda\\nChristina: \\u201cSex, Love, and Art in the Suburbs,\\u201d by Garth Greenwell, in Esquire\\nBryan: \\u201cThis Beach in Mexico Is an L.G.B.T.Q.
