Q & (G)A(Y) with the Co-Hosts!
Manage episode 411875786 series 2786320
Ever had any burning questions you wanted to ask about the LGBTQIA+ experience but were too nervous to? Never fear! Tune in to this episode where all 5 of our co-hosts launch into an open, judgement-free Q & A session about the complexities of queer culture and identity. Join us as we discuss everything from first crushes and queer relationships, to advice on coming out, to the intersectionality of what it really means to be "Gaysian." By the end of this episode, we hope you've learned something new about queer experiences and that you continue to be curious and supportive of all the LGBTQIA+ community members around you!
**Please note that the term "ladyboy" is mentioned in this episode in reference to June Bellebono's essay 'Ladyboy' in Helena Lee's edited collection, 'East Side Voices'. The term is a commonly used English translation of the Thai term 'kathoey', which is used to inoffensively refer to those 'third gender' (queer and/or genderqueer, to our Western understanding) individuals who are widely accepted in Thai society due to their prominent historical (and present!) significance in Thai culture and entertainment. Though not intended to be transphobic or insulting, we recognise that as with most single-word translations, 'ladyboy' fails to encapsulate the complexity of the original term 'kathoey'.
