On June 19th, we'll be hosting author Jacob Engelsman in conversation with local doula and lactation educator Corey Graywood. Together they'll be discussing Jacob's new book "Lactation for the Rest of Us," a guide for transmasculine parents, transfeminine parents, non-binary parents, queer parents, adoptive parents, and others who are often left out of conversations about chestfeeding.

At a time when the US government is rolling back trans health in devastating ways, this book offers queer and trans people access to leading-edge information about bodily autonomy!

To make this event more accessible, participants may attend in-person or join a live stream of the conversation on our YouTube channel. You can learn more about this event on our website at https://firestorm.coop/events/3402-chestfeeding-for-queer-trans-parents.html.

TODAY IN QUEER TV HISTORY - 1/31/1980

On the sitcom SOAP, Jodie (Billy Crystal), a gay man who'd had a one-night fling with a woman friend, learns that Carol plans to fight him for custody of their daughter, launching an unprecedented months-long story line about a queer parent fighting to keep custody of their child.

Ultimately, the judge would award custody to Jodie, finding him the more fit parent, despite the homophobic arguments used by Carol's lawyer.
