101. Sci-Fi: The Future is Queer (with TQ Sims)

A Jaded Gay

Inclusive representation in various literary genres offers LGBTQ+ people a sense of visibility, validation, and connection as they see their experiences authentically mirrored, which fosters a more affirming narrative for readers. One such genre, sci-fi, often serves as a creative and inclusive space, intertwining with queerness to explore diverse identities, relationships, and societal constructs beyond conventional norms.
In this episode, TQ Sims, author of Godspeed, Lovers, joins us to discuss the importance of inclusive literature, the queerness of the sci-fi genre, and his futuristic novel.
