Episode 17: Virginity is Reserved for Olive Oil
Thursday Jan 14, 2021
Thursday Jan 14, 2021
(small trigger warning! At 32:24-33:30 we discuss rape in biblical texts briefly)
Happy New Year everyone! We hope you all had a pleasant, socially distant New Years Eve! Today we're talking about virginity and how the church and our parents tried to shape our ideas of sex, when we should have it, what kind of sex we should have, how often we should be having it, and HOW INCREDIBLY INAPPROPRIATE THAT IS. Why are parents and pastors so concerned with the genitals and activities of the genitals of children and teenagers? Discuss and scream with us.

Episode 15: The Intersectionality of the Stonewall Riots and BLM
Wednesday Jun 17, 2020
Wednesday Jun 17, 2020
Happy Pride! In the wake of the Black Lives Matter protests that are still happening all over the globe, we wanted to remind our fellow queers where Pride originated. We wouldn't have Pride without the likes of Marsha P. Johnson, Sylvia Rivera, or Storme DeLarverie, women of color who dedicated their lives to fighting for equality. You cannot discuss Pride without also discussing the systemic racism that targets queer black folx, especially our trans brothers and sisters.
Rest in Peace Tony McDade, Nina Pop, Dominique Fells, and Riah Milton.

Episode 14: Ruth and Naomi Were Lesbian Lovers
Wednesday Jun 03, 2020
Wednesday Jun 03, 2020
CONTENT NOTE: At the 36:34 mark to the 39:19 mark we discuss the Jewish cultural ideas on homosexuality which came from their knowledge of assault upon children within other cultures. While we touched on it to educate where homophobia stemmed from within the Jewish and Christian faiths, we acknowledge that this could be triggering. Take care of yourself and skip that part if you need to.
We are Black Lives Matter advocates and we stand with the black community in these troubling racist times. If you can, please donate to the LGBTQ Freedom Fund at www.lgbtqfund.org or The Bail Project. We have posted information on our instagram about the The Bail Project and The National Lawyers Guild.
Did you know that there are lesbians in the direct line to Jesus? In this episode, we discuss the story of Ruth, her relationship with Naomi, and how some biblical scholars think that these two women were more than just companions.

Episode 13: You're Not Going to Hell if You Find Out You're a Scorpio
Wednesday May 27, 2020
Wednesday May 27, 2020
If you've ever been told that tarot cards, astrology, yoga, or crystals are demonic and evil, you might just be a product of evangelicalism. We break down these practices and why evangelicals hate them so much in an effort to shed light on the racism and control that runs unchecked behind church doors.

Tuesday Mar 10, 2020
We welcome back Liam Vella of Support the T and welcome for the first time our friend Alexander Reid to join us in talking about dating as trans and nonbinary people. We talk about our struggles with people "othering" us, people being attracted to and loving us in spite of our trans and nonbinary identities, and the wonderful few who love us for who we are, regardless of our pronouns, identities, and gender expressions.

Hello friends! We're back for part 2 of our Dating Outside series with our friend, Moe, to talk about being a queer Muslim and what it's like to date someone outside of Islam.

We're taking on one of the biggest debates of dating when it comes to being a Christian -- dating outside your faith. We discuss how we do it, our conversations and boundaries with our partners, and what we're going to do if we get married and potentially have kids.

Tuesday Feb 11, 2020
Tuesday Feb 11, 2020
We're coming out! We want the world to know! We, along with our friend Shawn, are tackling the topic of coming out - to our family, to our friends, to our churches, and how those experiences have shaped our queerness. Is it necessary to come out? Are your friends owed the experience of you coming out to them? Join us as we discuss these and other questions people have about coming out of the closet.
