Cheers for Queers

This week, Madelein and Sarah continue to grapple with the state of the world. They talk about grief and mourning (but in a fun way!) and promise to be friends forever. They also tackle a listener question about their own identities. They discuss where they feel they fit in the LGBTQ community and define queer, bisexual and lesbian for themselves.

This week, Madelein and Sarah are joined by comedian, TikTok star and dear friend, James Tison. They talk being LGBTQ in comedy, the non-binary experience, and the state of the country. They also throw the most appropriate amount of shade.  

We've been in the coronavirus pandemic for 10 months. What's it doing to our relationships? Sex? Dating? Madelein and Sarah discuss stories from friends and listeners about how their relationships are or aren't holding up during the pandemic that just won't end.
