Spring is in the air, and the Outward hosts are gay like tulips and queer like allergies! First, they discuss a new animated version of the beloved Frog and Toad series of children’s books, which premieres on Apple TV+ on April 28. Then they welcome Daniel M. Lavery to the pod. Danny was Slate’s own Dear Prudence for many years, and now a Dear Prudence book is here to grace our bookshelves. Danny shares his philosophy of advice-giving, talks about what it was like to transition in the public eye, and offers his take on a reader question current Prudie Jenée Desmond-Harris answered a few weeks ago.Items discussed in the show:Jules and the Framing Agnes team at the GLAAD AwardsOutward’s December 2022 discussion of Framing Agnes with actress Jen RichardsLMN’s scheduleSomerville, Massachusetts, extends protections to polyamorous families“Frog and Toad: An Amphibious Celebration of Same-Sex Love,” by Colin Stokes in the New Yorker“How Frog and Toad Author Arnold Lobel Explored Gay Intimacy in His Work,” by J.
