Juengling has advocated for increased literacy in the overall population, and started a queer men's book club in Portland in 2013 through the Cascade AIDS Project. Also in 2013, Juengling advocated against people watching the movie "Ender's Game", citing Orson Scott Card's views on homosexuality and encouraging people to practice queer ethical consumerism. The op-eds he wrote and overall stance "helped to raise GeeksOUT’s profile after their 'Skip Ender’s Game' campaign." Juengling then joined the GeeksOUT team, writing posts about queer-related media for their site.
