Anyways! On this episode, we bring forth a listener email submitted hot take that argues that a lot of the backlash to fans calling Taylor Swift gay is rooted in homophobia and misogyny, which we totally agree with!!! We go through an extensive list of gaylor evidence, including referencing The Archers podcast and this article: https://ew.com/music/2019/05/13/taylor-swift-pop-culture-obsessions/ before breaking down our love of the campy teen movie "But I'm A Cheerleader," a lesbian comedy featuring Natasha Lyonne starring as the main character. forced to go to a gay conversion therapy camp for teens. Finally, Sunny recommends the recently released literary fiction book "Just By Looking At Him" by Ryan O'Connell, and Renaissance recommends the St. Vincent movie "The Nowhere Inn" (2020).
