This episode is the second in our Valentine's Gay two-parter. That's right, we're celebrating Valentine's Day all month long, and we're making it super queer. We sat down with AJ Alward and V.F. Mariner to talk eco-anxiety, relationship realities, and of course, the importance of scoring that Valentine's Day chocolate on February 15th.
