FINALLY! The episode we've been wanting to do since day one. Today, we invite Persis' hot cousin Jacob Joseph to dive into the reality (and beauty) of being queer and Indian! Jacob tells us his entire story — from acknowledging his uniqueness as a kid to coming out as a teen. He gets candid about the disapproval of his parents, even going so far as to send him away to a religious camp that preached homophobia. Jacob talks about getting bullied at school, fighting with his parents, and overcoming the stigma of sex and queerness in Indian culture. He shares how things are today with his parents (and how his mom is still trying to arrange his marriage to a woman). Plus, Persis and Jacob discuss the differences in how they were raised, even though both their parents immigrated from India. How has being a queer minority impact you? Shoot us a DM to share your story @girlxgirlpodcast!
