“This podcast randomly kept coming up in my youtube recommendations clearly because of my lesbian algorithm and I am so greatful! I started with Gay Gay Horny Horny, Cigarettes and I have been back tracking to random ones. I loved the question of asking yourself if you’re honest with your journal because I don’t know if I am. I always label my journals on the first page as ‘libro de quejas’ which is Spanish for ‘Book of Complaints’. So I guess you can say I complain in an honest way? Sharing y’alls first gay thought/gay shame is very validating by the way! I went to Catholic school from kindergarten all the way through high school and I feel like my sexuality was repressed to the nines because of it. As in, even though I was the catcher of my softball team for *years* and only wanted to be friends with the ‘pretty’ girls, I somehow thought that wasnt gay AT ALL. Which is all the more reason I agree with the sentiment that there will always be a need for coming out stories. Ofcourse we want queer representation that goes beyond the coming out trauma/pain but I hate the binary thought of one version of the genre not being able to coexist with the other. Also I can’t fully say why but now that I’m about to turn 30 I find myself nostalgic for all the gay angst. I feel like I’m forever learning about queer history and I was curious if y’all could make a resource page of some kind with the references you make in each episode? For example I had no idea about the Lesbian Master Doc and I want to read all the books Naomi recommends! I could ramble on and on about all the many moment’s that you mention something that I relate to in the podcast but I’ll just say, this podcast feels like something I didn’t know I needed but I’m glad I found it!”
