Hey everyone! In this episode, I'm excited to introduce two amazing storytellers and writers to the show, Jodie Anders and Eric Rosswood. This week we are discussing their collaboration writing Queer Cheer and why it was so important to them to represent the queer teen community. We discuss identity, book bans, and the difference that teens are making in the queer community. Jodie shares a “News Announcement” from their book Queer Cheer, about two teens who are on a mission to remove a book ban. Tune in for a great episode!  IN THIS EPISODE: [2:02] Eric and Jodie introduce themselves and describe their work.  [3:18] Eric describes how he and Jodie came together on their project Queer Cheer.    [5:37] Why is representing queer teens important?  [8:32] What is causing book bans to be on an all time high? [12:08] Does the uncertainty around being queer and identity change as they get older vs. being a teen?  [16:08] Jodie shares what the excerpt is that she will be reading. [18:08] We hear a fictional piece from the book, Queer Cheer.  KEY TAKEAWAYS: There is nothing wrong with who you are as a person. You are loved, you are valuable, you are important.  By demonstrating differences in race, sexuality, gender identity and sexism, those who are working through their identity can find similarities with others, and realize that they are not alone.  It can be eye opening to look at your identity and how you behave around different types of people, from work to school to spending time with friends, seeing who you show up as can help determine who you truly are.  Subscribe to Reenita's Storytelling Den on Substack for free or become a paid subscriber to watch the video version of this episode, to receive the ‘News Announcement' from the book Queer Cheer, referred to in the fiction section of the podcast, and be eligible to receive other extras such as exclusive content from podcast guests, short stories, exclusive fiction and more! https://substack.com/@reenitahora   Fiction Credits: Written by Jodie Anders & Eric Rosswood Read by Jodie Anders  GUEST RESOURCES: Jodie Anders' Twitter  Jodie Ander's Website  Jodie Anders' LinkedIn   Jodie Ander's Instagram  Eric Rosswood's Facebook  Eric Rosswood's Instagram   Eric Rosswood's Website  Queer Cheer Book Website  Students Protecting Education HOST RESOURCES Website LinkedIn  Tiktok  Instagram  Facebook  Twitter (X)  Substack  Threads  LinkTree  BIO: Jodie is a multi-talented artist whose work spans the mediums of acting, writing, videography, editing, and graphic design.

How To Talk To LGBTQ Teens About Sex HOW DO HETEROSEXUAL PARENTS TALK TO LGBTQ TEENS ABOUT SEX? I know it can feel embarrassing and daunting. That's why this week's Impactful Parent video is here to give you tips and advice for having this important conversation.

Tess Connolly LCSW talks with John Sovec MA, LMFT who is a nationally recognized expert on creating affirmative support for LGBTQ teens and their families. They discuss ways we can support our LGBTQ community.  John introduces himself and tells us about the work that he does with the LGBTQ community and why he came to be working in this field.  John explains the definition of LGBTQ and what it stands for. Tess and John discuss our teens and what parents can do if their child has come out to them.  Tess and John talk about parents going through the grieving process when their child comes out to them and helps us understand this process so we can create space for the healing process.  John talks about looking at when gender is defined and looking at our child when they are born as being “assigned” a sex at birth rather than being born “male” or “female”.  Tess and John speak about the importance of parents having a curiosity about their child's journey. John talks about the work he does with adolescence and families.  Tess and John talk about the high suicide rate of the LGBTQ community.    Tess and John discuss how we can initiate conversations if we suspect our child may be LGBTQ+ and how as a parent we should be open and have conversations with our children about the LGBTQ community in our daily conversation.  John talks about his book and what it is about and how it can help families.  John gives a final piece of advice to parents for when their child first comes out to them.  John is most grateful for his husband and his Great Dane and for waking up and taking a walk under the sun and feeling the aliveness of the world around him.     You can learn more about John and his work at www.JohnSovec.com and www.GayTeenTherapy.com

KUNC's Robyn Vincent reports some are facing desperate circumstances.The seven Colorado River basin states have until mid-August to drastically cut their water use.

KUNC's Samantha Cootzeea spoke with co-creator Steven Frost.Colorado Edition is hosted by Yoselin Meza Miranda and produced by the KUNC newsroom, led by news director Sean Corcoran.

Today we are talking to a teen who would not take "no" for an answer.   17-year-old Tyler Johnson goes to Tully High School near Syracuse, New York. He had been honored with a profile in the school publication but when he came out as gay and shared about how he had overcome bullying and depression, the principal censored him.  Today we find out how he fought back.

Telling these kids that they are wrong can have extremely detrimental effects on their emotional development and their mental health.

Of those who have just one affirming adult, the suicide attempt rate is cut by 10%.  Are we going to be that one loving and affirming adult to help save lives?  I interview Charlie Bird who is a gay man and we discuss how he would have loved to be supported as a teen.  Allowing our youth to be who they are and supporting them through that process is the kindest, most loving thing we can do.  We discuss how in a faith/religious community we can really support and love these brothers and sisters of ours.  Statistics show if they have one affirming adult in their life, their suicide attempt rate goes down by up to 30%. Getting to know members of the LGBTQ community will allow us to build relationships and our fear of the unknown and misconceptions fade away.  This podcast will help you learn to be an ally and support.

It's Pride Month, so we thought it was really important to discuss LGBTQ+ teens. We feel so fortunate that we got to interview Colette Dalton, LCSW. She helped us learn how we can be better allies.

Joining us as guest host for this conversation is queer community member, recent college graduate, and former State of Mind guest, Adam Lanfear.

On today's show we welcome the talented Michael D. Cohen, who plays Schwoz Schwartz in Henry Danger on Nickelodeon.  He has launched an amazingly wonderful new initiative to help trans and non-bianary kids get acting roles.

Today, we talk to Michael about life at Nickelodean, the acting challenge and his own transgender journey.   With co-host Brody Levesque.

Originally from Atlanta, Georgia, Clark began performing at the ripe age of 7 with roles in numerous professional theaters in and around Atlanta. He has a Bachelor of Arts in History, Art History and Theater from Dartmouth College.

In part two of a 2-part series on understanding teens who identify as being on the LGBTQ spectrum, Roy offers practical strategies for helping these teens on their journey of self-discovery. Roy suggests that adults working with teens who self-identify as LGBTQ serve those teens best when they provide a safe place for teens to discuss their experiences, but also, by admitting their own ignorance and fear of the issue. Roy encourages those who works these teens and especially, those who parent them, to reject condescension and judgment and instead see their role as someone accompanying these young people on the journey of their identity exploration and identification.  To get Roy's newest ebook "Little Book of Questions that Really Get Teens Talking" go to todaysteenager.com and sign up or email Roy at roy@todaysteenager.com.

In this first part of a 2-part series, Roy begins an exploration of the sensitive and critical issue of the LGBTQ spectrum. Roy begins the series by detailing what each of the terms in the spectrum (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning) means and how these terms relate to the experiences of teens who use them to identify themselves. Drawing from his extensive experience with teens, Roy provides valuable insight into the importance of this issue and always remaining mindful that people are at its center, not labels.  Today's Teenager podcast is produced for educational and entertainment purposes only.
