The Word Queer

Quick Notes & Links:

If you like superheroes stories with a bit of realism, check out the show Raising Dion on Netflix.

We will use the word "queer" on the show. Queer is used within the community and by allies to define everyone outside of the heterosexual norm.

Creative4evr is very thankful to all the support. Please give us some stars and a review in your podcast app!

First! Check It Out:

This week I suggest you check out Raising Dion on Netflix. I binged season 1 and really, really enjoyed it. The synopsis for the show reads: A widowed mom sets out to solve the mystery surrounding her young son's emerging superpowers while keeping his extraordinary gifts under wraps. It stars Alisha Wainwright, Ja'Siah Young, Jason Ritter. The Creators are Carol Barbee and Michael B. Jordan who is Executive Producer.
