    episode 43 - a lively chat with young, queer artist echo!

    Hey y'all! This week we have an extra special guest episode: this time with the one and only ECHO!! Echo (they/them) is a nonbinary, queer student who is navigating the world as a young Gen Z and trying their best to be their self and get through high school. But we wanted to hear all about that journey, and about what makes them tick! We met Echo through the Arts Jam program that safeword (you remember Brandon from episode 40?) put on in summer of 2022. While we were there, we met Echo and thought it would be so cool to talk to them about their experience and their art and what they have to say and share. And here we finally are! Long time in the making, a queer convo with Echo!!! We hope you enjoy the episode! Let us know what you think: drop us a line on our Insta, or email us at hello@howtobequeer.ca! We love you, thank you so much for listening, and we hope you enjoy episode 9 of this beautiful season!! We are back in the swing of things with biweekly episodes. So, our next episode will air on February 14th (do you smell that love in the air? I think it's how much HTBQ loves u)! We have so much in store for you and cannot WAIT to share it! So glad you are here on this journey, with us. We appreciate you so much 3 XOXO C U Next Time on How To Be Queer! ... follow us! HTBQ Chris Kellum Sam safeword

    episode 41 - home for the holigays!

    Hey y'all, welcome back for the mid-season finale of season 4! A panel of three, and it's all your fave hosts!! We have come together for one last podcast episode of 2022 to send you off into the holigays with some gorgeous tips on how to get through and thrive!! :) For our last episode, Sam, Chris, and Kellum decided they wanted to discuss what they are doing for the holigays, what the season looks like for them, and how they survive the difficult times. Queerness and holidays don't always mix, and some of us at HTBQ know that better than others. But regardless, it is a time to celebrate you and your family, whatever family looks like to you. So whether you are with birthed or adoptive or foster family, or with chosen or circumstantial family, celebrate and know that we are with you every step of the way! We love you so much!! We hope you enjoy the episode! Let us know what you think: drop us a line on our Insta, or email us at hello@howtobequeer.ca! We love you, thank you so much for listening, and we hope you enjoy episode 7 of this beautiful season!! This is the last episode of 2022, our mid-season finale, if you will.

    episode 39 - through the looking glass: reflections on families and coming out!

    Hey y'all, welcome back for episode five of season 4! This week we have a panel of two because of food poisoning. But it's totally alright!! Because now you get to experience the joys of listening to the incredible amazing voices of Kellum and Sam!! You still get an episode because we still have hosts in the event of illness :) Recently, while Sam was just minding her own business, she heard someone say "if my child is queer, I will need some time as a parent" and she was like I KNOW HTBQ NEEDS TO DISCUSS!!! So she brought it to the table this week! Kellum and Sam dive in and discuss the thoughts behind what it means to come out to given family, and the grace or grieving that some talk about needing. They also look at how they represent their queerness in daily life, and compare it with their past, look at how many times and how they have come out, and also look at how their queer journey has evolved and continues to evolve to this very day! We hope you enjoy the episode! Let us know what you think: drop us a line on our Insta, or email us at hello@howtobequeer.ca! We love you, thank you so much for listening, and we hope you enjoy episode 5 of this beautiful season!! So glad you are here on this journey, with us.

About

Did that gender-neutral barista put your head in a tailspin because they had a rainbow pin and another purple and yellow one you didn't recognize strategically placed upon the lapel or their forest green apron? Do you not even know what the G in 2SLGBTQPNIA+ stands for? Does this acronym literally make you bury your head in the sand or scream out loud? Strap in, because you are about to get the Queer Fundamentals, starting right from the beginning.
