Today Kyle walks me through just one of the many reasons that highlighting stories where members of our lgbtq+ community can see themselves is still an important endeavor! (Photo: Amanda Stephens)
Today's TAKES episode is the pre-emptive first episode for our JUNE theme for global PRIDE month. I invite literature teacher and gender scholar Kyle Swayne back onto the show to walk me through what some of the problems, beliefs, and tropes that still underpin some of our most popular stories toady.
He also walks through the history of gender- and sexuality-based bias, how that bleeds into our media, and then back out into the lives and realities of those in and out of the LBGTQ+ community.
