Queerstake Mika McIntosh

Jake is the gay Mormon friend I’ve had the longest. We've known each other a whole decade!

We about “growing up” together in the gay Mormon Utah scene, TV shows, starting a gay summer fun band, and our old friend group (G-Crew + Torrin). This episode is much safer for my parents. Sorry that it's a long one.

Mamãe e Papãe, probably don't listen to this one, k?

My long time buddy Mike and I share some spiked kombucha and talk about someday owning apartment buildings, mormonism, and gay things. This episode is more mature than previous ones and contains a few f-bombs and a brief talk about sex.

July 2018. Steve’s my second interview. I have no idea what I'm doing, but I'm excited anyway. We meet in a park, soak in some rays, chat, get interrupted by a phone call that causes me to lose part of the recording, and all around have a dope time.


“Not that I really believe in luck either, I just believe life is what it is. But I do believe that there is a life force, that there is something that binds us together that isn’t just science and chemicals.”
