Navigating Queer Adulthood with Adam James Cohen, LMFT

This month, we’re talking to Adam James Cohen (adamcohenmft.com), a Marriage and Family Therapist about his upcoming book Second Adolescence: the Messessary path to queer adulthood (secondadolescencepod.com/book), which based on his podcast Second Adolescence (secondadolescencepod.com) and also Two Boys Kissing (kobo.com/ebook/two-boys-kissing) by David Levithan

Adam’s podcast Second Adolescence is all about the messy, exhilarating, awkward, healing-filled queer adulthood that comes after growing through first adolescence in an anti-queer world. Each episode features a queer person sharing about their experience growing up, discovering their identity, coming out, and living through their own Second Adolescence. Adam’s book, which is part memoir, provides a framework for what Second Adolescence is for queer people and how they move through it.

And our second book, Two Boys Kissing by David Levithan is a young adult novel, inspired by true events, that follows two 17-year-old boys who set out to break a world record by kissing for 32 hours. This book weaves a number of multi-generational intertwining storylines together where characters are also discovering their own identity and coming out.
