Whimsey and reflection are afoot this week on the podcast, as Lee is joined by the author of “A Little Queermas,” Sassafras Lowrey. They discuss stigma and myths around age play, queer identity, and building holiday traditions that serve the people observing them. Exploring the notion of the “other,” they also reflect on the experiences of LGBTQ people having been kicked out in youth, and how being seen in literature can help people not feel alone.
