- 1:46Speaker 1: just gave me the most awkward week I did.
- 1:50Speaker 2: I did. It was like adults, only.
- 1:54Speaker 1: It was yes, you can take that vibe or not.
- 1:58Speaker 1: But that's what Samantha just escape me. It's fine, everything's fine,

- 2:14Speaker 1: Voyages dot com slash stuff and we hope to see
- 2:17Speaker 1: you there. Okay, So, as I said, yes, this is
- 2:22Speaker 1: Pride Month here in the US, and every year that
- 2:25Speaker 1: means I have some kind of update, and I have
- 2:29Speaker 1: to say, I like a lot of stuff right now.
- 2:33Speaker 1: I feel that Pride is strange this year. I think
- 2:40Speaker 1: there's a lot of conflicting things that are happening and
- 2:43Speaker 1: conflicting emotions. So first of all, it is very joyous
- 2:49Speaker 1: and I've been happy to see some of the festivals
- 2:54Speaker 1: that have already happened some of the parades that have
- 2:56Speaker 1: already happened, and they look so happy. And then you
- 3:04Speaker 1: have the news of government's legislators trying to get rid
- 3:10Speaker 1: of Pride months in uh it's usually pretty local, but
- 3:14Speaker 1: they're trying to replace it with like things like Nuclear
- 3:17Speaker 1: Family Month. Yeah, no, it's bad, and I don't suspect
- 3:23Speaker 1: it's going to get any traction. It's just kind of
- 3:27Speaker 1: disheartening that it's it's in multiple places. They're trying to
- 3:31Speaker 1: reframe it as a like traditional white American values month,
- 3:36Speaker 1: and queer people are not involved in that. They could
- 3:40Speaker 1: never be a traditional family what. So you've got that aspect,
- 3:48Speaker 1: And then you have a really interesting conversation that's happening
- 3:51Speaker 1: right now about a lot of companies are not supporting
- 3:57Speaker 1: Pride and they're pulling up funding and so some of
- 4:03Speaker 1: some Pride festivals are not even sure they can happen.
- 4:07Speaker 1: But at the same time, we've had conversations about how
- 4:11Speaker 1: these companies are not your allies. Like when Pride first started,
- 4:18Speaker 1: companies weren't part of it, and so there's like that
- 4:22Speaker 1: kind of complication. Two, I feel personally that I've been
- 4:30Speaker 1: confronted more frequently with the fact that I'm in a
- 4:33Speaker 1: bubble with my friends who we go to drag shows
- 4:38Speaker 1: a lot, like it's just accepted and I don't think
- 4:45Speaker 1: about it. But I've had to start thinking about it
- 4:47Speaker 1: more just because I've everything's been fine, but there's been
- 4:51Speaker 1: some instances where I just realized, like, oh, this, I
- 4:55Speaker 1: don't know if this person is a cool person right
- 5:00Speaker 1: to know about this or to share this with. So
- 5:05Speaker 1: there's been that, and I did read support is still
- 5:09Speaker 1: pretty high in the US for the queer community. I'm
- 5:14Speaker 1: kind of I think because of the way news works,
- 5:17Speaker 1: I never know if I had to trust these things
- 5:18Speaker 1: or not. I don't know, I think. And also because
- 5:25Speaker 1: the way the news works, you hear the loudest are
- 5:28Speaker 1: the conservatives who don't support it, so I'm not sure.
- 5:32Speaker 1: So there's also that kind of uncertainty. So there's just
- 5:37Speaker 1: a lot of you know, back and forth going on
- 5:40Speaker 1: in my brain. But something else I wanted to talk
- 5:44Speaker 1: about today. I've just been reflecting a lot on coming
- 5:53Speaker 1: out in my own experience coming out. So you can
- 5:57Speaker 1: see our past episode on coming Out Day. I think
- 5:59Speaker 1: that will actually be really useful for this one. But
- 6:06Speaker 1: I just sometimes I have I have a good friend
- 6:12Speaker 1: who she's been on the show Katie, and she'll ask
- 6:14Speaker 1: me questions about my experience and it's very open because
- 6:20Speaker 1: I'll ask her too, and I we had a conversation
- 6:24Speaker 1: recently that just made me really certain I am not
- 6:28Speaker 1: experiencing the world is the way you are. I'm like, conceptually,
- 6:34Speaker 1: I understand this being attracted thing. Sometimes I feel it
- 6:43Speaker 1: for fictional characters if I liked the fictional character, which
- 6:48Speaker 1: is some kind of form of demisexuality with fiction that
- 6:51Speaker 1: I don't know has been explored. But anyway, she was
- 6:56Speaker 1: just talking about her experience, and I thought, that is
- 7:00Speaker 1: I don't it makes no sense to me other than
- 7:05Speaker 1: I can kind of vaguely grasp the world works this
- 7:08Speaker 1: way for her. So I was thinking about that, and
- 7:22Speaker 1: then that got me to thinking about my coming out experience,
- 7:27Speaker 1: which I don't know I've talked about this before. I'm
- 7:30Speaker 1: pretty sure I never actually came out to anybody in person.
- 7:36Speaker 1: I don't think I ever like sat someone down and said, hey,
- 7:41Speaker 1: I'm actually gay and this is how I identify. I
- 7:45Speaker 1: did it on this podcast. I'm I think that was
- 7:49Speaker 1: the first time.
- 7:52Speaker 2: Did you not come out to me before? Because I
- 7:54Speaker 2: feel like I knew before you said it.
- 7:59Speaker 1: I don't think. I think I was going through it
- 8:01Speaker 1: on the podcast, and I remember, and I actually was
- 8:05Speaker 1: gonna mention this. I looked through the past episodes we've
- 8:09Speaker 1: done about asexuality just to point out how much the
- 8:15Speaker 1: conversation has changed. Kristen and Mollie talked about asexuality in
- 8:21Speaker 1: twenty I had been twenty ten because Molly was not
- 8:26Speaker 1: at the host for very long, and just by reading
- 8:29Speaker 1: the description you can tell the conversation has really changed
- 8:33Speaker 1: since then. But then I had somebody named a doa
- 8:40Speaker 1: Denzo show who was Ace and she was talking about it,
- 8:46Speaker 1: and afterwards she came she approached me and said, if
- 8:50Speaker 1: you ever have any questions, because she could tell I
- 8:54Speaker 1: was like that bikes so much sense to me that
- 8:56Speaker 1: that's interesting.
- 8:58Speaker 2: Why do I have it in my head that I
- 9:00Speaker 2: we brought her own because you were Ace.
- 9:02Speaker 1: I definitely wasn't none at that time. Nope.
- 9:05Speaker 2: I remember that time thinking, yeah, this is okay, and
- 9:09Speaker 2: he's very interested in this.
- 9:10Speaker 1: Obviously I thought I was in the episode. I was like,
- 9:15Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure, but I don't know.
- 9:19Speaker 2: Huh. In my head, yeah, you were clearly her.
- 9:26Speaker 1: No, I think it came I think it came off
- 9:27Speaker 1: as I was like looking for.
- 9:29Speaker 2: The last piece of confirmation.
- 9:32Speaker 1: Makes sense, Okay, that's why it is.
- 9:35Speaker 2: Okay, Because like I'm just remembering our whole conversation. I'm like,
- 9:38Speaker 2: I feel like none of this came as a surprise,
- 9:41Speaker 2: because I feel like you were telling me how little
- 9:43Speaker 2: you liked we talked about it. Oh yeah, when we
- 9:47Speaker 2: were talking about and want like having an episode about
- 9:49Speaker 2: sex and sexuality and women in sexuality in general, and
- 9:52Speaker 2: how they were very se and you were like no,
- 9:54Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, obvious, Okay, that makes sense. So
- 9:56Speaker 2: in my head, I think I had already my bad
- 10:00Speaker 2: assume slash labeled these were the things, so for me,
- 10:07Speaker 2: you would already come out, even though I guess maybe
- 10:09Speaker 2: you didn't tell me outside of that, but in my
- 10:11Speaker 2: head I felt like you did. I guess I made
- 10:14Speaker 2: that a conversation up in my head.
- 10:16Speaker 1: Well, so here's the thing. I've never sat somebody down
- 10:20Speaker 1: to come out. Yeah yeah.
- 10:23Speaker 2: Uh.
- 10:23Speaker 1: After we did that episode, that's when I started thinking, yeah,
- 10:28Speaker 1: for sure, this is probably right. And then we did
- 10:30Speaker 1: some more episodes after that, and then then I was like, yes,
- 10:35Speaker 1: this correct. So there was kind of a conversation happening
- 10:37Speaker 1: between you and me and the audience.
- 10:39Speaker 2: As you were carrying it out.
- 10:41Speaker 1: Yes, but also I might have and I probably did
- 10:44Speaker 1: say it in a conversation, but I didn't like, like say, hey, Samantha, right,
- 10:51Speaker 1: I've never ever done that in person with anybody. But
- 10:54Speaker 1: I might have said, like in passing, you know, probably
- 10:57Speaker 1: a sexual like that way I did it with my mom,
- 11:02Speaker 1: because I never came out to my mom. She knows
- 11:04Speaker 1: it because she read it in a book. But I'll
- 11:08Speaker 1: just say it now. But I've never saddered down and
- 11:11Speaker 1: said had that kind of conversation. But one of the
- 11:14Speaker 1: reasons I wanted to bring this up is because I
- 11:17Speaker 1: was thinking about, you know, technically I did have this
- 11:21Speaker 1: conversation with you. It was just on the podcast and
- 11:23Speaker 1: there was a lot of people listening, and so I
- 11:26Speaker 1: was just curious how the coming out conversation has changed,
- 11:31Speaker 1: because maybe now maybe now people don't necessarily do that
- 11:35Speaker 1: kind of I'm going to sit you down and have
- 11:38Speaker 1: this moment and tell you. And so I looked it up,
- 11:43Speaker 1: and you know, to no surprise, the internet has changed things.
- 11:48Speaker 1: I was at first a little surprised though that it was.
- 11:52Speaker 1: Most of the articles I was reading were positive about it,
- 11:56Speaker 1: because I thought there's gonna be a lot more maybe
- 11:59Speaker 1: don't do this in such a public space.
- 12:03Speaker 2: But.
- 12:05Speaker 1: It was. It was positive. It was like, you know,
- 12:07Speaker 1: you can find community, you can see other people's stories
- 12:13Speaker 1: and all of that. And I do think that's important,
- 12:18Speaker 1: as we've been talking about with the organization's queer organizations
- 12:23Speaker 1: across the country. You know, seeing that and hearing that
- 12:28Speaker 1: and having that community is really important. And I've told
- 12:31Speaker 1: that story many times on here, but I didn't know
- 12:36Speaker 1: a sexuality was even a thing until I was out
- 12:38Speaker 1: of college, so and it was because of this show.
- 12:42Speaker 1: So having those things that the internet provides, especially if
- 12:46Speaker 1: you come from a small town like I did, are
- 12:50Speaker 1: really important. There's also a lot of something I'm gonna
- 12:57Speaker 1: have to catch up on, just a lot of terms
- 12:59Speaker 1: and like fast moving ideas on the internet in the
- 13:03Speaker 1: queer community. So I was telling Samantha, I don't know
- 13:07Speaker 1: what this means. And sometimes when you're on a show
- 13:11Speaker 1: like this and you have a friend like Katie who's
- 13:15Speaker 1: asking you these questions. We've talked about this, we're not
- 13:18Speaker 1: you know, nobody is the like go to for any
- 13:21Speaker 1: one identity like nobody. I don't know. I know my experience,
- 13:26Speaker 1: the knowledge I've gained from researching.
- 13:31Speaker 2: But and even when there are new ones, there's always
- 13:34Speaker 2: a debate about whether or not is more advantageous and
- 13:39Speaker 2: actually does a better job and explanation, or whether it's like,
- 13:44Speaker 2: actually it takes us back and we need to reclaim,
- 13:47Speaker 2: Like there's this, Yeah, it's an ever changing flow and
- 13:50Speaker 2: you never exactly know how to do it. You just
- 13:53Speaker 2: got to be willing to say this is what they're saying.
- 13:56Speaker 2: Now we're going to follow with if the majority agrees
- 13:59Speaker 2: with this, especially when you're not a part of that community.
- 14:02Speaker 2: So I don't identify as a part of the queer community.
- 14:05Speaker 2: There are experiences and there are moments where I say
- 14:07Speaker 2: things that people are like, girl, but like I'm like,
- 14:09Speaker 2: but I can't attest to that. And that's not because
- 14:12Speaker 2: I'm afraid to or any of that's more because of like,
- 14:14Speaker 2: I'm more afraid to claim something just for the sake
- 14:16Speaker 2: of claiming something. You know, especially in our field, to
- 14:20Speaker 2: have more marginalized titles, seems like you can speak out
- 14:25Speaker 2: more sometimes. And I say this in like, just because
- 14:28Speaker 2: you are doesn't mean you can't like this is just
- 14:30Speaker 2: it could be like these levels of like you need
- 14:32Speaker 2: to be careful and you need to be courteous to
- 14:34Speaker 2: those who have identified in these spaces, and like feeling like, okay,
- 14:39Speaker 2: am I doing this just because it feels easier, so
- 14:42Speaker 2: I can say I can talk about this type of
- 14:44Speaker 2: conversation as of someone who's never identified in that way,
- 14:47Speaker 2: but at the same time understanding, Yeah, sexuality is fluid.
- 14:50Speaker 2: I'm not saying any of these things. I'm not saying
- 14:51Speaker 2: things can't change, but right now, as I have never
- 14:54Speaker 2: identified it that way, I've never been attracted to these
- 14:57Speaker 2: swallowing things, so therefore I do not identify there. But
- 15:00Speaker 2: like having to be more like having to be in
- 15:04Speaker 2: this space and trying to do it correctly and doing
- 15:07Speaker 2: it in the most ally way. It feels like a
- 15:11Speaker 2: really dangerous field sometimes it does. Going around the titles
- 15:16Speaker 2: and new labels.
- 15:19Speaker 1: It does. And if you haven't read our book, which
- 15:22Speaker 1: if you should, the whole like intro is us basically
- 15:28Speaker 1: saying we did our best in the year. This could
- 15:34Speaker 1: be this terminology. Yeah, like maybe we don't use it,
- 15:38Speaker 1: maybe it's offensive, like well, who knows. But even as
- 15:44Speaker 1: difficult as it is. I don't think being afraid of
- 15:49Speaker 1: language should stop us. I'm talking about those things, but
- 15:52Speaker 1: it is scary. You don't want to mess it up.
- 15:56Speaker 2: You don't want to claim as like especially to claim
- 15:59Speaker 2: an expert in anything. Yeah one, because we say that
- 16:05Speaker 2: we know a lot about it, a lot, but we're
- 16:07Speaker 2: not an expert, no necessarily in any of these things.
- 16:10Speaker 2: We do base it on our experience as a social worker.
- 16:13Speaker 2: I still say that because I'm like, you know, our
- 16:15Speaker 2: whole talk was by being a jack of all trades.
- 16:17Speaker 2: I can give you what I know then, but things
- 16:19Speaker 2: have changed since I've been in school and since I've
- 16:21Speaker 2: been in practice, so I have to backtrack and be like,
- 16:24Speaker 2: this is what I know. Because, like, even the mental
- 16:26Speaker 2: health space continues to grow, but in like the queer space,
- 16:30Speaker 2: especially today, is like you have bad players. Yeah, so
- 16:35Speaker 2: you don't know all that, but to make sure you
- 16:38Speaker 2: get trusted sources.
- 16:40Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, And that conversation is really messy too, because
- 16:44Speaker 1: you don't want to if somebody identifies that way and
- 16:48Speaker 1: you'd say that, oh, you're clearly not that's not you're
- 16:52Speaker 1: not who's this is very damaging. But if they are
- 16:57Speaker 1: using it just to get in with to be able
- 17:02Speaker 1: to talk about it or to I don't know, get
- 17:06Speaker 1: more queer people to listen to their music or watch
- 17:08Speaker 1: this X y Z. Then that's level. Yeah, but it's hard.
- 17:16Speaker 1: It's hard to know because you don't want to somebody
- 17:21Speaker 1: does identify that way. Oh it's just a mess. But yeah, yeah,
- 17:28Speaker 1: I feel like we've gotten way off. When I was
- 17:30Speaker 1: just sorry, no, it's okay, I was talking about coming
- 17:34Speaker 1: out has changed. I'm really curious for listeners of all
- 17:40Speaker 1: ages to write in about that because and we have
- 17:46Speaker 1: discussed this before, but I think it's a mistake. I
- 17:49Speaker 1: do probably younger queer listeners will have more experiences with this,
- 17:54Speaker 1: but I think it's a mistake to say that people
- 17:56Speaker 1: are coming out older and older now. So I would
- 18:01Speaker 1: be interested to hear all of those ticks.
- 18:14Speaker 2: So in your research, did you see, because what I've
- 18:17Speaker 2: new witnessed on social media is a lot of times
- 18:19Speaker 2: coming out is similar to you. They're actually working it
- 18:22Speaker 2: out yeah online and then coming to a point of
- 18:27Speaker 2: be like oh maybe I always have been yeah, and
- 18:30Speaker 2: then you have the awful comments being like maybe I
- 18:32Speaker 2: need to tell you something, oh honey, Like these type
- 18:35Speaker 2: of things are like come on now, let them let
- 18:37Speaker 2: them handle it. But like some people are like, maybe
- 18:41Speaker 2: you need to go read this, Yeah, you need to
- 18:44Speaker 2: go reach this, or this is being like, oh, it's
- 18:47Speaker 2: a candid experience, like.
- 18:48Speaker 1: That's also.
- 18:50Speaker 2: Yeah, is that one of the biggest things.
- 18:53Speaker 1: Yes, And this is one of my another instance of
- 18:59Speaker 1: something I'm like kind of conflicted about because I do
- 19:03Speaker 1: think having the Internet and having that community is important.
- 19:08Speaker 1: Clearly it helped me, but at the same time, I
- 19:14Speaker 1: worry about people, especially and when you're trying to figure
- 19:18Speaker 1: that stuff out, you can be in kind of a
- 19:21Speaker 1: fragile emotional state, right, and the last thing you need
- 19:26Speaker 1: are Internet trolls kind of delegitimizing you or attacking you.
- 19:35Speaker 1: I hope that a lot of people's experiences are that
- 19:37Speaker 1: the trolls are much less and it's much more supportive people.
- 19:43Speaker 1: But we know what the Internet can look like. And
- 19:45Speaker 1: so this is another part of when I was thinking
- 19:48Speaker 1: about how this conversation has changed, is the Internet has
- 19:53Speaker 1: changed even from when I was on it, when I
- 19:56Speaker 1: was having this learning about all of this, and so
- 20:01Speaker 1: I worry with all of the bots we have, the AI,
- 20:07Speaker 1: all of this stuff with you know, taking out queer
- 20:11Speaker 1: books from libraries and like losing that information. Having Google
- 20:18Speaker 1: prioritize misinformation or disinformation because it having that information available
- 20:25Speaker 1: is so important. But then if if all of it
- 20:29Speaker 1: is misinformation disinformation, I'm just really a part of me
- 20:32Speaker 1: that's actually scared that that's going to impact a lot
- 20:39Speaker 1: of the progress we've made, especially with younger people. But
- 20:44Speaker 1: I do see people working it out online and having
- 20:51Speaker 1: support or somebody say like, hey, maybe you should read this,
- 20:54Speaker 1: And I guess the thing is, I hope that it
- 20:56Speaker 1: goes well. I hope that it's not an unsafe experience
- 21:04Speaker 1: for them, and that can that can really help. Clearly
- 21:09Speaker 1: it helped with me. And sometimes you are working it
- 21:13Speaker 1: out and maybe it doesn't turn out how you thought
- 21:18Speaker 1: it would. So it's just a complicated subject a lot.
- 21:26Speaker 1: I have a lot of thoughts about it. Yeah, And
- 21:31Speaker 1: I also, Samantha knows that I've been going through this
- 21:37Speaker 1: internalized homophobia. I've been reading a lot about internalized homophobia lately,
- 21:41Speaker 1: and I didn't realize how much, Like it's what upsets
- 21:45Speaker 1: me so much about it is how much I see it.
- 21:48Speaker 1: I saw it myself like oh, I was like, oh yeah,
- 21:51Speaker 1: I remember having that thought, I remember thinking that, or
- 21:54Speaker 1: I remember feeling that way, and it's when you're young
- 21:59Speaker 1: and to have those kinds of thoughts, being that age
- 22:06Speaker 1: is already there's already a lot going on, and how
- 22:11Speaker 1: that impacts just how you behave in the world and
- 22:15Speaker 1: how you see yourself. And I'm curious if that has
- 22:19Speaker 1: changed too, but I think it has. I'm not sure.
- 22:27Speaker 1: I'm not as sure as I would like to be,
- 22:29Speaker 1: but I think that it has.
- 22:33Speaker 2: You hope that it has. It seems sometimes maybe.
- 22:36Speaker 1: It seems, sometimes maybe not. And that's also like I
- 22:41Speaker 1: was thinking about and getting ready to pick my fictional
- 22:44Speaker 1: Woman of the Month, and I was just thinking about
- 22:47Speaker 1: representation and how so much of it feels like we've come.
- 22:53Speaker 1: We reached this point and then we were going backwards.
- 22:57Speaker 1: So it's like only this much, so it feels like
- 23:01Speaker 1: a lot of things are going backwards. I know people
- 23:04Speaker 1: are still fighting, and I think a lot of we
- 23:08Speaker 1: still have moved forward a lot. And the renaps that
- 23:15Speaker 1: we did on gay games, it just got me really
- 23:18Speaker 1: grateful for all the people that came before me and
- 23:21Speaker 1: who were facing different problems and paved the way, and
- 23:27Speaker 1: all the people who wrote the books and may like
- 23:31Speaker 1: made that before the Internet, just to find that community
- 23:36Speaker 1: and connection. And so yeah, it's just a lot of
- 23:40Speaker 1: mixed feelings. But I overall people are fighting. I think
- 23:46Speaker 1: it's moving forward, and right now we are experiencing a
- 23:49Speaker 1: little a pushback, just like pretty much every every issue
- 23:54Speaker 1: in the United States. But yeah, I think we're still
- 24:01Speaker 1: moving forward. It's just who we got to keep it
- 24:03Speaker 1: our eye on these things.
- 24:04Speaker 2: Yep.
- 24:05Speaker 1: But I would love to hear from listeners if you're
- 24:10Speaker 1: willing to share, just about how because I know everybody's
- 24:15Speaker 1: everybody's coming out experience is different, but I would love
- 24:18Speaker 1: to hear how with the Internet, how maybe it's changed
- 24:22Speaker 1: how it looks today.
- 24:24Speaker 2: Yeah for sure.
- 24:25Speaker 1: Yes, Okay, Well, happy pride, everybody, Happy pride, Happy pride.
