    Hi everyone! We wanted to thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for listening to our baby podcast. We are going on hiatus for now - life has gotten too busy to keep going but we are hoping to come back with a renewed vigour once everything slows down. Please stay subscribed to the feed and when we come back it it will pop up for you! In the meantime, keep on flirting in your miniskirts. Shoutout to Rachel Scanlon.

    Was Joseph Queer?

    Join us over on Patreon!: https://www.patreon.com/heaveninaminiskirt This week, we embark on a fabulous journey examining the Hebrew Bible through a queer lens as we explore the life and times of Joseph, the ancient world's original fashion icon. Yes, we're talking about the guy who rocked a princess robe long before it was cool. Move over, Cinderella – Joseph's coat of many colors is the ultimate wardrobe statement! We'll uncover how Joseph challenges traditional gender norms with his beauty and penchant for eye makeup. You heard that right – this shepherd boy was penciling his eyes and curling his hair like a pro. Happy Pride Month everyone! Were They Gay?
