Send us a textFinally! This was bonkers. The Season One Finale sent Haylie into a tailspin over in her humble opinion, bad sex scenes, and Lauren is done defending Bette. Hallelujah! Poor Lauren also feels so bad. Comment how many times Lauren she says so, we lost count. Join us as we eagerly await recapping Season 2 and following all these crazy storylines!Trigger warning: sexual assault

Imagine Me And You
Send us a textWe threw it back to 2005 with this nostalgic rom-com pick, and OH did we love it. Between Rachel's self-discovery, the family dynamics, and the way the film is set up to show this story as simply people in complex relationships instead of *eek!* !!LeSbIaNs!!, we had a lot to talk about. Also, we failed to this mention this, but lilies = "I dare you to love me?"

Send us a textIn this episode, we're talking all things Taylor Swift...ok, not all things but the gay ones! This conversation happened almost off air with authors Rena Sapon-White and Ella Schaefer, but Lauren thought to hit re-record right at the perfect time! If you've ever wondered if there are still gaylors out there, rest assured, we're here! We hope you enjoy this fun little off the cuff convo!If you enjoy listening to our podcast, please download and leave a review.

Send us a textBriona Simone Jones crafted a gift to the world with Mouths of Rain: An Anthology of Black Lesbian Thought, and we feel lucky to have read it. In this episode, we share the words of the brilliant Black minds who contributed to this work, specifically covering "Part I: Uses of the Erotic, 1909-2020" and "Part II: Interlocking Oppressions and Identity Politics, 1980-2020." The nutrient density of this anthology required us to split this episode into two parts in order to honor it the way we wanted to, so come back next for parts III-V. Please send us your favorite Black artist on our Instagram page, and we will include them in our post at the end of Black History Month honoring our community's favorite Black artists. We want to provide a space that is easily accessible for Black artists to be shared, lifted up, and supported, and you are part of that work. Thank you for your support, you can always reach out to us on Instagram, TikTok or email.
