    How do you come out in middle school? | Quincy | The Queer Vision Ep. 79

    UPDATE: The CCC Pride Club that Quincy put so much of his heart into organizing has been forced on hold by NC bill S558, which prohibits pride organizations in community colleges. Please contact your representatives and show extra support for any LGBTQ+ students in your life who are missing that community in their schools! ★WHERE YOU CAN FIND QUINCY★ Instagram - @quin.tessentially.art ★WHERE YOU CAN FIND US★ Website - http://www.queerolina.orgFacebook - QueerolinaInstagram - @queerolinaorgBlueSky - http://queerolinaorg.bsky.social ★Summary★ Today on the Queer Vision, we're talking with Quincy, an artist, psychology major, and Pride organizer. Although it took him some time to work out the specifics of his identity, Quincy knew from a very young age that he was queer, and shares with us his unique experiences being out as trans and genderqueer at 13 years old. We also talk about some of the insights he's learned from studying psychology, like why getting an autism diagnosis can be so difficult, and hear about his time making history with the Pride club at Craven Community College. UPDATE: The CCC Pride Club that Quincy put so much of his heart into organizing has been forced on hold by new NC bill S558. Please contact your representatives and show extra support for any LGBTQ+ students in your life who are missing that community in their schools! ★Keywords★ queer vision podcast, queerolina, queer identity, coming out, psychology, self-discovery, autism, support, mental health, genderqueer, research, representation in mental health, therapy, queer community, education, university life, LGBTQ+, self-discovery, support, advice, art

    How do you know when your characters are gay? | B.L. Brown | The Queer Vision Ep. 76

    ★WHERE YOU CAN FIND B.L. BROWN★ Website - BrittaWritesThings.com Instagram - @BrittaWritesThings Threads - Britta writes stuff Books available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Bookshop.org (request through your local indie bookstore!) ★WHERE YOU CAN FIND US★ Website - www.queerolina.org Facebook - Queerolina Instagram - @queerolinaorg BlueSky - queerolinaorg.bsky.social ★Summary★ Becca sits down with author B.L. Brown (Britta) — writer of witchy urban fantasy, cozy monster romance set at band camp, and German fairy-tale romance set at a magical Oktoberfest. Britta talks about where her ideas actually come from (a second-trimester pregnancy dream is directly responsible for one series), her winding path from fanfiction to legal writing to nightlife reporting to published author, and her mantra that "there's no failure in marketing, only data." They dig into how she approaches queerness in her characters — letting sexuality emerge organically rather than assigning it upfront — and Britta opens up about her own bi identity, coming out later in life, her marriage to a supportive cis het partner, and what it means to finally look back and recognize she'd "been queer a lot longer than she thought." It's a warm, funny conversation about creativity, self-acceptance, and showing up as yourself. ★Keywords★ Queer Vision Podcast, Queerolina, B.L.
