Joining me this week for a Proper Full-On Gay Crisis is special guest Emily as well as Leo and Aimee from The Rainbow Project.   Spoiler Alert - In this special release we talk about Heartstopper Spin off novella This Winter which takes place during book 4 of the Heartstopper series. 

We talk about some of the difficult situations newly out queer people overcome during the holidays like being out to some family members and not others and serve up advice on how to deflect unwelcome or inappropriate questions from enthusiastic family member.  We pause to reflect on supporting people with eating disorders and the stigma attached to mental health and mental illness.

About Proper Full-On Gay Crisis

Proper  Full-On Gay Crisis is an LGBTQIA+ podcast which draws   inspiration from Alice Oseman’s graphic novels & Netflix series  Heartstopper.  Each week guest hosts from  the UK & Irelands leading  LGBTQIA+  Youth Organisations join the  show to relive favourite  Heartstopper  moments and  bring the experiences of our favourite  characters to life  in the real world.  We explore the challenges  that  queer youth overcome and talk about  the work that our partner  organisations do to support young people  across the UK & Ireland.
