How To Be Queer!

Transgender Day of Remembrance in November 20th...it is an observance that honors the memory of the transgender people whose lives we've lost in acts of anti-transgender violence. Kim and Alex sit down and have a conversation with their dear friend, Kim Dillon, whose daughter left us too soon.

Alex and Kim have been going through something really big. So many people find it hard to talk about queerness (I mean, not us) and so many people find it hard to talk about abuse (here we are doing it). Alex shares their story; coupling, marrying, having kids, divorcing and navigating the legal system. Together, Kim and Alex stand tall to protect their identity, their family and their children. Join us in Part 1 of a multi-part series...

Kim and Alex get the chance to sit down with Out Front Magazine's Maggie Phillips and Addison Herron-Wheeler. They share their incredible stories about discovering their queerness. They share their truths and the nitty gritty about what love and authenticity is for them. Grab a cup of love, or put on your walking shoes and spend time with us.

After six years directing OFM operations, Maggie Phillips obtained co-ownership along with her fearless business partner, Addison. Maggie took over as CEO (we learn means Chief Everything Officer!) and co-publisher to carry on the 45-year legacy that Phil Price founded, and continues to amplify queer voices. Maggie considers hiking to be the best therapy and intends to conquer as many mountains as possible until her legs can no longer carry her up. Addison Herron-Wheeler is OFM’s co-owner, co-publisher, and editor-in-chief, and friend to dogs everywhere. She enjoys long walks in the darkness away from any sources of sunlight, rainy days, and painfully dry comedy. She also covers cannabis and heavy metal, and is author of Wicked Woman: Women in Metal from the 1960s to Now, and Respirator, a short story collection.

Kim and Alex have the pleasure of speaking with Melissa Giberson, author of Late Bloomer: Finding My Authentic Self at Midlife (Releasing on August 8, available for pre-order through Amazon!) ORDER NOW!!!!

Melissa Giberson is a middle-aged suburban wife and mother of two kids, solidly planted in the life she’s always wanted. Yet she longs for something more—something she can’t quite put her finger on until, one day at the Y, she finds herself mesmerized by the sight of a naked woman and asks herself for the first time: Am I gay?

This revelation sends Melissa on a head-spinning journey of self-discovery, one that challenges everything she thinks she knows about herself, forces her to decide exactly how much she’s willing to risk for authenticity, and shakes the foundations of the family she’s fiercely determined to shield from the kinds of wounds she sustained during her own childhood. Torn between her desire to be true to herself and her desire to protect her children, she is consumed by fear and conflicting emotions—and when her husband unexpectedly serves her divorce papers, her confusion only deepens.

Adrift in uncharted waters, Melissa finds fragments of understanding and peace in unexpected places—in a conference room in Israel, a small fishing village in Cape Cod, and at a yoga retreat center—that help her deconstruct her preconceptions about faith and identity and begin to construct a new framework for her life. Over the course of her ten-year journey, she finds hope, love, and more courage than she ever knew she was capable of, and she gradually assembles the puzzle that is her—the real her.
