Queer Kid Stuff

Lindsay (you can call them Lindz!) plays and sings original songs for family audiences with their trusty ukulele and their best-stuffed friend. They keep their tiny audiences engaged with audience participation while they sing about gender, diversity, consent, and so much more! Their 45-minute musical performance is peppered with their original storytelling highlighting important moments in LGBTQ+ history in a family-friendly environment. They perform at schools, libraries, museums, and community centers all over the country. They also speak at high schools, universities, and conferences on their experience as an LGBTQ+ activist and digital creator. You can watch their TED Talk, performance clips, and a full performance in their video section!

The Huffington Post calls Queer Kid Stuff a “groundbreaking YouTube educational resource.” Teen Vogue praised their episode on consent during the height of #MeToo that “shows exactly why there’s no excuse not to grasp consent. Even toddlers can understand it.” And @shondarhimes tweeted she’s “so here for this!”

Lindz is currently developing a children’s podcast focusing on social justice. They are also writing a picture book, and a full-length screenplay about a non-binary kid!
