Honestly breeders, straight tv/movies/media is to blame for our queerness. Rest in power to Monica Roberts, a genuine shoutout to Pete Buttigieg and Bill Burr's SNL skit was actually hilarious.

This week we are joined by the amazing hosts of Gayish Podcast , Mike and Kyle, to continue our discussion about intersectionality.
