Lez Hang Out | Lesbian Life & Queer Culture

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) sit down with nonbinary podcaster and voice actor Andy Randolph (@aonehattown) to talk about their journey with their queer identity and faith. Andy grew up in an evangelical community as the child of a pastor. They followed their family legacy and became a pastor until it became too difficult to reconcile their gender and sexual identity with the church’s views. We dive deep into what The Bible actually does say (or not say) about homosexuality. Andy discusses what finally caused them to break away from the church and how they currently feel about their relationship with faith.

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) sit down with stand-up comedian and writer Sarah Kennedy (@sarahkomedy) to talk about why the movie “House Bunny” Should’ve Been Gay. This movie has Anna Faris, Emma Stone, and Kat Dennings, so if you haven’t seen it yet, you really should. In our experience, there’s nothing gayer than being in a sorority. So many characters in this movie are queer-coded (we’re looking at you, Mona) and even the male love interest is basically a lesbian stand in. These women are so deeply ingrained in the nightmare that is compulsory heterosexuality that they never quite find a way out of the closet. We enjoyed “House Bunny”, but it one hundred percent Should’ve Been Gay. Follow along on Twitter: Lez Hang Out (@lezhangoutpod) and answer our Q & Gay at the end of every episode.

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) are back for a fifth season of the little lesbian podcast that could! This week they discuss what is means to be a “cregaytor”. No, that’s not a creative alligator, although that would make for an entertaining discussion. Leigh and Ellie talk about being independent queer creators and what it’s like to bring a project all the way from sparkly new idea to fully complete work of art. They talk about the challenges of working within a market actively designed to make it more difficult for marginalized people to succeed and what they’ve learned throughout the process of making The Flame, an LGBTQ+ Romantic Comedy Podcast Musical.

Jamie (Ellie Brigida), the owner of the Flame, everyone’s favorite LGBTQ bar, is having a rough day. It’s the anniversary of when her proposal was rejected by her ex-girlfriend Rachel (Chilina Kennedy) and all she wants to do is marathon Buffy Season Six. But her best friend Heather (Leigh Holmes Foster) and the patrons of the Flame are always there to cheer her up. There’s Jo (Jenn Colella), the divorce attorney who sleeps with most of her clients, Bridget (Vico Ortiz), who’s always looking for new trivia team members and Jessica and Ashley (Liz Mongrello and Dana Piccoli) who just got back from their honeymoon and brought a postcard for the wall. And it looks like Jamie’s luck might be turning around when Sam (Jasmin Savoy Brown) walks into the bar and makes Jamie forget all about Rachel. Join us at the Flame to see what happens next!

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) sit down with Lez Hang Out’s newest team member and resident Bly Manor expert, Kristin Murison (@therealksparkle) to talk about The Haunting of Bly Manor for this Lez-ssentials episode, a recurring segment on the essential movies and TV shows in the lesbian canon. We talk about the visceral reactions we experienced when seeing Dani literally haunted by her compulsory heterosexuality. We do a complete scene by scene run through of Dani and Jamie’s relationship, including a spot on reenactment of the proposal. This is Bly Manor if it were just Dani and Jamie’s love story, minus all of those pesky ghosts. Ellie reads many of the hauntingly beautiful quotes from the show and Leigh and Kristin take turns having emotional meltdowns. A lot of feels are felt by all. Stick around at the end of the episode to hear an original song loosely based on Dani and Jamie’s love story entitled, “One Day”. It will absolutely wreck you. We recommend having tissues nearby.

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) sit down with writer and comedian, Kai Choyce (@kaichoyce) to talk about why Boy Meets World Should’ve Been Gay. All of the characters on Boy Meets World are queer culture and you cannot convince us otherwise. If you liked Topanga as a kid, you’re a lesbian now, we don’t make the rules. Cory and Topanga have lesbian relationship vibes. Cory and Shawn were also 100% in a relationship with one another. You could call it a bromance if you want, but you’d be wrong. The whole show revolves around their relationship. It is arguably the most important relationship on the show. We would be remiss if we didn’t talk about Eric and Jack, the cutest couple of himbos we’ve ever seen in a relationship with one another. They are easily the best part of the college years episodes.

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) sit down to chat about the lesbian period pieces that we have been getting inundated with lately. It has been a trend for a long time, but it has definitely been getting worse. They continue casting famous straight actors and then using the exact same plot. We aren’t knocking the formula, we love a good lesbian yearning scene. But there are just so many of these movies and the majority of them do not have happy endings. Only 5% of all lesbian films and tv shows end happily. We are bombarded with tragedy and we are sick of it. We talk about how much better it would be if they could give us some happy endings, literally any diversity, queer actors, and queer directors. We also talk about our favorite lesbian period pieces and why they work for us, like Carol, Dickinson, and Gentleman Jack.

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) sit down with comedian and co-host of Dyking Out Podcast (@dykingout), Carolyn Bergier (@tgicarolyn) to discuss why the movie '9 to 5' Should’ve Been Gay. If you haven’t seen '9 to 5', it is a feminist movie from the 80s that stars gay icons Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin and Dolly Parton; so obviously you should go watch it immediately. We talk about the gay mafia, the inherent queerness of the song Jolene, and eventually we even talk about '9 to 5'! We delve into our favorite ships, but honestly, we’re pretty sure almost every woman in this office has slept together at least once. We are fully obsessed with the throuple: Judy, Violet, and Doralee; and you cannot convince us that they aren’t in fact a legit throuple.

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) chat with our good friend, the multitalented Jesse Nowack (@nowackinghellyeah) about our favorite himbos and trans male media representation. If you’ve listened to the podcast before, you know how much we love a himbo. Incase you are not familiar with the term, a “himbo” generally refers to a muscular man who has a big, kind heart but is not exactly the sharpest crayon in the box. It’s essentially the antidote to toxic masculinity. A himbo is the difference between a Kronk and a Gaston. We talk to Jesse about his experience being a trans male himbo. Jesse also teaches us about the types of himbos, like the himbim, herbo, and thembo. Listen for a vocabulary lesson you never knew you needed. We talk about lesbians and their emotional support himbos in media, like Robin and Steve in Stranger Things and Ellie and Paul in The Half of It. We also discuss trans himbo TikTok and how empowering it has been for the trans community. Follow along on Twitter: Lez Hang Out (@lezhangoutpod) and answer our Q & Gay at the end of every episode.

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) sit down with Devin Ibanez (@thatgayrugger), the first openly gay major league rugby player, to talk about why The Waterboy Should’ve Been Gay. We talk about tackling homosexuality (literally) and how Waterboy just might be Devin’s root. We also talk about who we are shipping and how astrology is queer culture.
