Summary

CB Lee is the author of the young adult sci-fi series Sidekick Squad, so it's no surprise that the sci-fi genre played a central role in her own coming out as bisexual. CB shares how she writes her books for "16-year-old me," and talks about the power of seeing yourself represented in media. We discuss the parallels between queerness and superhero stories, and delve deep into mental health/suicide prevention. Also: #stillawerewolf

0:00.0	Hey everybody, this is Lauren and Nicole.
0:02.2	Hello.
0:02.9	As I'm sure you know by now, we recently started a Patreon.
0:06.5	You can check it out at patreon.com slash coming out pod.
0:10.5	And there are all different kinds of perks that we're giving for all different tiers of giving.
0:15.3	There's a wide range for as low as a dollar a month.
0:18.2	Yep.
0:18.5	$1, $3, $5, $10, $15, $25. And as you'll see, we have anything
0:24.1	from like getting alerted of when we're doing a live video to sending out personalized videos
0:29.6	to doing personal ads for you guys if you really want to commit to us to all things in between.
0:36.1	Outtakes, a whole bunch of really fun perks. So definitely check it out.
0:39.3	Yeah, and every once in a while, we might throw in an additional perk. For example, I recently
0:44.1	screwed up and ordered two DVDs of Carol on Amazon when I only wanted one DVD of Carol.
0:50.6	So for the next listener who pledges at a $10 or above tier, not only will you get all
0:58.5	the perks you normally get, you will also, assuming you live in the United States of America,
1:03.7	get this free DVD of Carol that I will mail to you. Nicole and I will both sign the DVD.
1:10.4	Which is weird because we're
1:11.5	not in the film, but also kind of funny. Yeah, we're going to do it anyway. And I'll toss in
1:15.8	hashtag find Ricky PIN. So again, that's the next person who pledges at the $10 tier or above.
1:22.2	Do your pledge and then drop us a DM either on Twitter or Instagram to let us know. And whoever the first person is who does that, I will DM you back to get your address and I will send that to you. Absolutely. Again, it's patreon.com slash coming out pod. Enjoy today's episode. Bye. Hello, everyone.
1:45.5	Hi.
1:46.2	Welcome to Coming Out with Lauren and Nicole.
