Signs we were Queer as Kids

Hey there, our wonderful Let's Be Perfectly Queer family! In this episode we’re diving into the subtle (and not-so-subtle) childhood moments that hinted at our queerness long before we had the words to describe it.

But first, big news! Western Australia just announced a $2.25 million funding boost for LGBTQIA+ services. We break down what this means, why it’s crucial, and how it helps bridge funding gaps for queer communities.

Next up, we get personal—talking about disclosure, representation, and the impact of visibility in everyday life. From missed opportunities to moments of growth, we reflect on how representation (or the lack of it) shapes our experiences and helps combat misinformation.

🎮 The Main Event: Childhood Signs of Queerness
✨ Always picking the male characters in PlayStation games? Check.
🔥 Crushing on Kim Possible, Esmeralda, or some very specific animated characters? Double check.
📺 Queer Coding in Media – How films, TV shows, and books influenced our self-discovery.
⚠️ Toxic Tropes vs. Healthy Representation – Why it matters how queerness is portrayed in media.

Every queer journey is unique—so if our experiences don’t match yours, that’s okay! Queerness exists in a vast, beautiful spectrum, and there’s no right or wrong way to be you.

💌 We want to hear from you! DM us or email [email protected] and tell us:

• What childhood moment made you go, “Ohhh… I was definitely queer”?
• Which queer-coded character shaped your self-discovery?
