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.

ALLY McBEAL: "I Know Him by Heart" - May 24, 1999, Fox

Margaret Camaro (Wendy Worthington), "that righteous militant lesbian who's been popping up on 'Ally McBeal'" (as The Advocate called her), appeared in at least four episodes of this quirky lawyer-drama series starring Calista Flockhart.

In this 1999 episode, Margaret sues her health insurer, which refused to cover infertility treatment for her because she's queer. This fictional story reflected real-life conflicts at the time involving health-insurance discrimination.

THE TRACEY ULLMAN SHOW - 5/17/1987, Fox

This early episode of Ullman's sketch-comedy show introduces 13-year-old Francesca and her two dads, at a time when same-sex parents were largely invisible in U.S. culture.

Dan Castellaneta (the voice of Homer Simpson) and Sam McMurray play the male couple. This family appears in at least ten episodes from 1987 to 1990, presented casually and affectionately.

The playlets usually last about 12 minutes. Most of the stories involve all three characters, though one sketch focuses just on David and William ("Flesh and Desire" in 1989, in which they try out vegetarianism).
