The Lavender Menace

Haven’t fully listened and I can’t stand Taylor Swift. Celebrity culture is certainly bourgeois. However, I don’t think it is the obligation of Lesbians or any minority to center or validate anyone who is not Lesbian or simply minority for the sake of it. You can make your own content or visit thousands of other spaces dedicated to “LGBTQ+++”. Most negative reviews are people who are not even lesbian, who purposely seek out lesbian content as NON-lesbians, and then get upset that they are not sufficiently validated. But people see us through a hardcore, fetishistic and entitled lens—so, it is not surprising. A lot of white, het, and male toxicity in the reviews tells you all you need to know.

i am SO glad i found this podcast. the hosts are both intelligent, opinionated, thoughtful,

Been a listener since the very first episode and VERY much needed this podcast as a newly out lesbian (the queer/bisexual to lesbian pipeline is very real and brutal). Idk very many unapologetic dykes and lesbians irl so hearing sunaissance discuss the feelings I’ve felt for so long while also providing amazing media recs and theoretical references to their analyses and general observations….it is chefs kiss! Truly recommend for those struggling to come to terms with their LESBIAN identity and are looking to be heard and find solidarity. I especially recommend the episode where they discuss girls can kiss now (I believe it’s this episode) - us listeners get to hear a pretty vulnerable and raw anecdote from renaissance discussing lesbian loneliness and it resonated with me so much and I l always revisit during a time where I’m experiencing peak lesbian loneliness. thank you for the work you do, sunaissance! Love y’all very much 🫶

Love the Gaylor content!!!
