Podcasts about two boys kissing

Books that tell LGBTQ+ stories are banned at a disproportionately high rate. The first episode of Velshi Banned Book Club features two equally powerful and poignant novels that grapple with what it means to discover who you are and who you love. “Two Boys Kissing” by David Levithan masterfully weaves four separate narratives and a haunting Greek chorus of AIDS victims to tell a story of freedom, equality, intergenerational mobility, and community through a tender, coming-of-age lens. “Boy Erased” centers around author Garrard Conley's two-week treatment at a so-called conversion therapy center and explores the crucial role of family, understanding of religion, and, of course, identity. This episode features audio from various school board meetings across the nation including: Spotsylvania County Public Schools on November 8, 2021; Dearborn Public School District on October 10, 2022; Lake Travis Independent School District on September 17, 2021; and Hillsborough County Public Schools on February 10, 2022. 

On this episode of #VelshiBannedBookClub, MSNBC host and Citizen board member Ali Velshi sits down with David Levithan, author of Two Boys Kissing. Levithan knew that everything about his book would land him on this list. He's okay with that.

Thomas, Chris, and Dusty review the book Two Boys Kissing by David Levithan and discuss the disgraced life of Roy Cohn
