Which stories are left out of the history books? What's in the documents omitted from the “official” record? And what happens when we go in search of people's hidden lives? Today's book is No Way, They Were Gay? Hidden Lives and Secret Loves (Zest Books, 2021), by Lee Wind, in which he reminds us that “history” was crafted by the people who recorded it. And sometimes, those historians were biased against, didn't see, or couldn't even imagine anyone different from themselves. That means that history has often left out the stories of LGBTQIA+ people: men who loved men, women who loved women, people who loved without regard to gender, and people who lived outside gender boundaries. Historians have even censored the lives and loves of some of the world's most famous people, from William Shakespeare and Pharaoh Hatshepsut to Cary Grant and Eleanor Roosevelt. Throughout the text, Lee Wind shares primary sources—poetry, memoir, news clippings, and images of ancient artwork—and explores the hidden (and often surprising) Queer lives and loves of two dozen historical figures. No Way, They Were Gay was honored as a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard selection, and was selected for the Chicago Public Library's 2021 Best of the Best Books list. Our guest is: Lee Wind, who writes stories that center marginalized kids and teens and celebrate their power to change the world. Closeted until his 20s, Lee writes the books that would have changed his life as a young Gay kid. His Masters Degree from Harvard didn't include blueprints for a time machine to go back and tell these stories to himself, so Lee pays it forward with a popular blog with over 3 million page views (I'm Here. I'm Queer. What The Hell Do I Read?) and books for kids and teens. He is the author of No Way, They Were Gay? His day-job is for the Independent Book Publishers Association (as their Chief Content Officer), and for the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (as their official blogger). Our host is: Dr. Christina Gessler, who holds a PhD in history, which she uses to explore what stories we tell and what happens to those we never tell.

Books That Make You Acknowledge Pride Month June is Pride Month. It's especially poignant this year, too, with so many LGBTQ+ books being challenged across the country, and winding up on banned-book lists. Author Lee Wind's “Queer as a Five-Dollar Bill: The Podcast” will drop thirty-six episodes in June 2023, as both a celebration of Pride Month and a response to the book-banning and intimidation many in the Queer community—particularly teens—are experiencing. With a Master's in education from Harvard, Lee writes stories to empower kids and teens to be their authentic selves and to change the world: the very same books that would have changed his life growing up a young, gay Jewish kid. He works for the Independent Book Publishers Association as their Director of Education and Programs, and as the official blogger for the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators. In addition, he is the organizer of the Queer Kid Lit Creators community, and runs the popular blog I'm Here. I'm Queer. What the Hell Do I Read?, words his teenage self once might have only dreamed of saying. Upcoming books include the YA novel A Different Kind of Brave (Duet/Chicago Review Press), The Gender Binary is a Big Lie (Zest/Lerner), and the picture book Love of the Half-Eaten Peach (Reycraft), inspired by Queer history. Lee lives in Los Angeles with his husband of more than 25 years, and they have a grown daughter. Visit him online at leewind.org. Find out more on Books That Make You. You can also follow us on Facebook and Instagram.
Lee Wind (he/him) is an Author and the Founder of the award-winning Blog I'M HERE. I'M QUEER. WHAT THE HELL DO I READ? Lee's Blog has over 3 million page loads from over 100 countries! Lee holds a master's degree in education from Harvard and writes stories to empower kids and teens to be their authentic selves and change the world. In 2022 we had Lee as our guest for PRIDE month and learned that he and his husband of more than 25 years have a grown daughter. With that knowledge, Lee was the first name that came to mind when I had this thought [slash] question — what happens to our idea of motherhood as exclusive to a woman when two men are parenting a child? What is motherhood when a female is not part of the family picture? This conversation is very personal and intimate, and we feel privileged to have learned so much from Lee. We hope you will, too. This is the perfect transitional conversation for us as we exit May — Motherhood Month and enter June — PRIDE month.
Well, new things are coming for us outside of the podcast and we can't wait to share!
So we took a poll on Em's socials and asked you to pick our episode title with zero context, your two options were “I'm Queer and I Want To Be Baited” or the equally baffling “Pummel Me Like a Wildebeest Stampede”. Turns out a lot of you seemed very taken by the pummeling, hence why it's now living it's best life as the title above this description, job well done Emsolators. Naturally you'll get full context around both of those quotes within this episode, the first one relates to Harry Styles new movie ‘My Policeman' and the second one was inspired by the revelation that Em spent time writing erotic fan fiction about the cartoon version of Mufusa from ‘The Lion King'. I know totes shook right, also apparently we will NEVER find it. We also talk the backlash to Em's post about the passing of the Queen, all our favourite Emmy acceptance speech highlights and the best bits of the upcoming Disney movie announcements. There's even some talk about the forthcoming ‘Interview with a Vampire' TV series and some such about using your hands while making a fist, so maybe don't listen to this around your children, unless you like having far ranging and slightly uncomfortable conversations of course.

I've been on a journey of dismantling and reassembling my own understanding of what's most true for me when it comes to my sexuality. I have fallen wonderfully in love and I'm in a queer relationship right now. It has radically shifted my lived experience of how I get to be loved and how someone can be capable of loving me. The labels that feel supportive to me right now are androsexual and demisexual, and I explain how I'm using those terms for myself. I've felt a divide between who I truly am and how I was professionally presenting to the world for a while now. I was confusing the need to niche down with not showing up for LGBTQIA people. I became aware of the volume of what I didn't know, as well as the blind spots of my own privilege. Through the Queer Competency Course I did with Terra Anderson and conversation with other queer people in my community, I've realized that I've been intensely connecting gender to sexuality. It's been such a liberating experience to detach masculine energy from the body that may or may not hold it. Listen in to hear more about how I've been exploring my queerness and rewriting limiting narritives I've held about sexuality. Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, or on your favorite podcast platform. Topics Covered: Reflecting on the ways that the patriarchy punishes men for feeling their emotions What learning about non-monogamy is teaching me about my own window of tolerance and how I value investing energy and relationships Confronting the resistances and discomforts I had in my body that I never realized, like internalized homophobia and transphobia Making sure I'm showing up in sustainable and actionable ways to further liberate LGBTQIA people How I came to the conclusion that I identify as androsexual and demisexual Resources Mentioned: Listen to my interview with Terra Anderson about the Magic of Queerness here!

No better way to wrap up Pride Month for 2022, than with a little special Unwrapped episode.We're thrilled that Miranda had the opportunity to interview her amazing daughter, Milan Cain and talk specifically about her experiences; coming out, the continuing journey, the trials and tribulations, the personal transformation and the ultimate sense of freedom.
Happy Pride Month! In this episode I talk about my later-in-life realization that I was gay, and how that journey was so similar to when I realized that I'm autistic. The parallels are REAL. The clues were there. How could I have missed this stuff??

Hello Renegades! Welcome to season 2! After taking some time off to make some BIG changes in my life, I'm so excited to be back. This season will be a little different as we transition into sharing more queer-focused stories. On this episode, I'll be giving you all some of the background on how I realized I was queer…at the ripe age of 44! I'm excited for the conversation this season, starting with coming out later in life, the fall out of deconstructing the gender binary and fully embracing ourselves throughout the process!

I started exploring my queerness in my early 20s. Because I'm attracted men, for a long time I thought I was straight. Also because in movies I only saw images of straight people and whenever someone was bisexual it was because they were a nymphomaniac obsessed with sex and I didn't feel like that. But then when I was volunteering at the Gender Issues Centre at my university I actually allowed myself to explore who I was attracted to and realized I was attracted to all genders. I came out to my family and friends. And I thought I was done. But I soon realized how easy it was to slip back into the closet, especially since I do date men. People would assume I'm straight and I wouldn't correct them. And when a friend who identifies as a lesbian questioned if my queerness was real, I ran back into the closet. In this episode I share my journey with my sexuality and where I am with it now.

Closeted until his 20s, Lee writes the books that would have changed his life as a young Gay kid.

Each day in October, a new LGBT Icon is featured with a video, bio, bibliography, downloadable images, and other resources. LGBT History Is History “LGBT History Month sends an important message to our nation's teachers, school boards, community leaders, and youth about the vital importance of recognizing and exploring the role of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people in American history." Background In 1994, Rodney Wilson, a Missouri high school teacher, believed a month should be dedicated to the celebration and teaching of gay and lesbian history, and gathered other teachers and community leaders. They selected October because public schools are in session and existing traditions, such as Coming Out Day (October 11), occur that month. Celebrate Our Heritage The LGBT community is the only community worldwide that is not taught its history at home, in public schools, or in religious institutions. LGBT History Month provides role models, builds community, and makes the civil rights statement about our extraordinary national and international contributions. https://lgbthistorymonth.com/ --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/queervoicez/support

How many people in the LGBTQIA community have turned their heads up towards the sky to ask this question, only to feel it go unanswered? My name is Kyler with a “K”. And this idea was birthed from my own experiences coming out as a lesbian in a religious community that told me I couldn't have both. This is a podcast unlike any others. Here, you will listen to people in the LGBTQIA community from ALL over the world tell their stories about growing up in different religions, different households, and different backgrounds. My goal is to shed light on how negative religious influence can be on people of our community, and what we can do better. But I can't do it alone! Whoever - Or WHATEVER, God is to you - We are here to remind you that you are loved, and you were created exactly the way you are for a reason. Stay tuned for, “Are you there, God? It's me, I'm queer,” and like and subscribe to make sure you never miss an episode!
