Season 2 Episode 14: My Gay Curriculum w/ Tina and Krista Abolitionist Dreamscapes
-
- Society & Culture
Welcome back folks! This time I am in conversation with two friends of mine, Tina & Krista, about the Gay Curriculum Tina started for me when I came out a couple of years ago. Tina hails from Louisville, Kentucky, and is your soon-to-be favorite rich lesbiauntie. A double Scorpio with a dark and brooding mood and fierce loyalty to those she allows into her queendom, she lives life on her own terms. She is a pop culture enthusiast and an unflappable cynic. In her professional life, she manages crisis, curates inclusion, and holds court with her subjects. Krista McQueeney is a sociologist, meditator, grammar nerd, a Gemini with fairy energy, and a lesbiauntie. She is an award-winning professor, a published writer, and a professional editor who loves to help people of all ages discover their passions and connect through writing. She is working on a book about white womanhood where she does the painful but necessary healing work of trying to unlearn white supremacy from the inside out. Here we discuss all kinds of things - from my coming out process and all the emotions attached to it, to them reflecting on their own coming out stories and the histories of queer and lesbian culture, to the impact music has had on all of us coming more into ourselves. This is a conversation you will want to come back more than once because of the richness of queer history given here. For the full unedited 2 hours please go to my Patreon.
