Outward: Slate's LGBTQ podcast Slate Magazine

Wow!!!

It gets old listening to essentialist takes on queerness and sexuality. Not every person has had the privilege of community when forging their identity, and not everyone’s experience can be reduced down to whatever fits into mainstream queer culture. WNYC’s Nancy does a much better job of approaching LGTBQIA+ topics without disdain, condescension, etc.

I enjoyed listening to this until the topic of Mayor Pete came up. Apparently he is not gay enough for them and every little action by Pete needs to be dissected and evaluated. Oh you don’t like the words he used when speaking about his sexuality and coming out? He doesn’t know enough about queer history? Is he part of a scene? Talk like this will only give us 4 more years of you know who.
