On this week's episode, we talk about the Netflix series, Heartstopper! This show has truly stolen our queer, tender, hearts. Chelsee also talks about the comic series the show is based on; you can find the first volume here: https://bookshop.org/a/83912/9781338617436

You can also read the comics for free, online, one issue at a time! Here's the Tumblr that started it all: https://heartstoppercomic.tumblr.com 

*While talking about the comics and the character of Isaac, Chelsee mistakenly calls Aled (one of the protagonists of Radio Silence) 'Ahmed' - apologies for the misspeak on that!

In this week's episode, Christina and Chelsee talk to Grace Mackson, a public health professional, about queerness and public health in celebration of LGBTQ Health Awareness Week.

You can follow Grace on Twitter @GraceMackson.

If you're looking for local health resources, check out your local LGBT center: they'll often have links to places that are queer-friendly or even on-site services themselves. Also check out local community groups like Queer Exchange, where people often ask questions and trade hot tips about specific health services and doctors!

There are many resources out there to help you find a provider and a healthcare spot that you can trust and talk to them about health problems that you have. Also, your local health department might or might not have better resources than the CDC: check them out!

You can find links to more resources, including the Bi+ Resource Center and a PDF guide for coming out to your doctor, in last week's newsletter.

This episode is about the very bisexual book "Red, White and Royal Blue"! It was originally recorded for Chelsee's solo project, Casually Obsessed. It's a spoiler free discussion, so you can listen even if you haven't read the book! 

In the episode we talk about:

• Avoiding things that are popular;
• Our theories on why straight women like content about gay men;
• Quintessential queer experiences;
• Why books like this matter (even when their covers are bubble gum pink);
• Writing about an identity other than your own;
• Author's we want to be friends with (and maybe date);
• Perfect nights with chosen families.

You can find the show notes for this episode at casuallyobsessedpodcast.com/red-white-and-royal-blue.
