Lesbians are Miracles lesbiansaremiracles

MIDDLE SCHOOL. It was awkward, it was sensitive, it was marked by growing pains, school dances, cafeteria politics, and cliques. It's a difficult time for anyone, but perhaps most especially for a pubescent, suburban queer. Wince visibly with us as we relive our harrowing, gawky, and extremely uncool junior high experiences, one inelegant memory at a time. 

Ever taken different Tinder dates to the same old neighborhood gay bar? Have you used a trusty pick-up line on lots of different ladies, or maybe gifted the same book of poetry to your past three exes? If so, you may be guilty of REDYKLING! Dial up those earbuds and cringe in a well-natured way with us as we re-hash, dissect, process, and examine all of the ways in which we repeat—and sometimes break—our painfully gay patterns, habits, routines, and tendencies.  

Whether you loved or screamed at the TV every minute of it, we think we can all agree that HAPPIEST SEASON is a piece of queer cinema we'll be hate-or-joy-watching for holidays to come. In this episode, join us as we dissect in excruciating detail the tropes, nuances, successes and epic failures of Clea Duvall's seasonally sapphic rom com that has everyone talking. 

It’s been a minute, but guess what? WE’RE BACK and we’re gayer than ever! In this episode, we’re dishing the dirt on QUEERANTINE, aka, how we’ve been spending the last seven months. Commiserate along with us as we talk about self-care in a global pandemic, ultra u-hauling, what we’ve gained, what we’ve left behind, and all of the queer (and not queer) content we’ve shamelessly consumed. (Sarah Paulson, anyone?!) Put on your favorite sweatpants, get yourself a heaping plate of cheese, pour yourself something nice, and come kick it with your girls. We’ve missed you.

In this very special episode, we're talking to the bold and beautiful Lory Lyon (you could say we're biased, but the facts are the facts) about her experience growing up as a lesbian in small town East Texas. Whether you've wondered about the unique challenges those born south of the Mason Dixon face in their coming-of-age; grew up as a southern queer yourself; or are still grappling with some version of home-town homophobia (and to all y'all, we tip our hats), dust off your spurs and saddle up. This is one you won't wanna miss. 

Dyke + Icon: They're the queer women you appreciate, look up to, fawn over, love, stan, venerate, idolize. They're the celesbians who risk their career for their truth, your favorite childhood musician or leading lady, your butch co-worker, your teacher, your best friend, your second cousin, the softball coach who saved your life. Dykons come in endless shapes and forms, and in this episode, we're talking about the ones who have had the biggest impact on us, and all of you—this one's for the womxn who mentored, shaped, and formed us; the ones who gave us permission; those who were themselves before we were able; the bold, badass queers who came out and stood out; who made us feel less alone; who paved—and pave—the way.
