Lez Hang Out | Lesbian Life & Queer Culture

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) are joined by Kait and Anissa from Could Be Gayerrr (@couldbegayerrr) to talk about why Whip It Should've Been Gay. This is a movie about ROLLER DERBY! Come on people! Show us a roller derby team where there are less than 5 LGBTQ players! We talk about the intense and inappropriate chemistry between Iron Maven and Bliss and speculate about Drew Barrymore and Elliot Page's relationship and the steamy kiss they shared for their Marie Claire interview. They even have Marcia GAY Harden in this movie, do we need to say more? We're thankful for our one canon lesbian character, Rosa Sparks, but she should've gotten more screen time and a kiss that was outside of the male gaze. Plus Alia Shawkat and Elliot Page as best friends...this movie can't be straight. Follow along on Twitter @lezhangoutpod and Facebook and Instagram (@lezhangoutpod).

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with Heather Reid(@heatherreid), singer and songwriter from The Murmurs, Redcar and current musical theatre songwriter. We chat about LGBTQ representation in musical theatre from canon representation in Rent and Prom The Musical to the strong headcanon of Wicked and Heather thinks Dear Evan Hanson should've been gay. We talk about all of the steps that it takes to get a musical from the songwriting stage all the way to Broadway. Heather's dream is to get a show on Broadway and we can't wait to see her get there!

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) are joined by Jessie Blount and Lark Malakai Gray, the hosts of The Gayly Prophet (@thegaylyprophet) to talk about why The Addams Family Should've Been Gay. Lark talks about the T for T relationship between Morticia and Gomez and the ace vibes he gets from Lurch, Jessie is all about Gomez' dapper dandy fashion and the late in life coming out story from Margaret and cousin It, Leigh can't imagine that Wednesday Addams, played by Cristina Ricci, can be anything but a baby gay and Ellie argues that "Uncle Fester" finding his family is the most beautiful chosen family story we've ever seen in a movie. The Addams Family is queer culture and we were grinning from ear to ear talking about the enthusiastic consent between Morticia and Gomez and this delightfully queer family!

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) dive into The Half Of It for this Lez-ssentials episode, a recurring segment on the essential movies and TV shows in the lesbian canon. We chat about the importance of friends and personal cheerleaders in high school, the strong bisexual vibes constantly coming off of Aster and our love of himbos. Are we making the boldest strokes we can make? We also discuss how this movie isn't a love story in the traditional sense and how we enjoyed it anyways. The ending is still happy and we hope we can get a sequel to see what Aster and Ellie are up to once they have it all figured out in college! Lez-ssentials comes complete with a Half of It drinking game because every lesbian movie or tv show should be accompanied by heavy drinking. This episode also comes with an original Lez-ssentials song based off The Half of It entitled "Lost and Found" Follow along on Twitter: Lez Hang Out (@lezhangoutpod) and answer our Q & Gay at the end of every episode. Leigh Holmes Foster (@lshfoster) and Ellie Brigida (@elliebrigida). You can also join us on Facebook.com/lezhangoutpod and Instagram (@lezhangoutpod).

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) are joined by Leesa Charlotte (@leesacharlotte) and Alyse Knorr, the team behind Ellie's new podcast Sweetbitter, a podcast about the life of Sappho, launching October 15th, to talk about why Juno Should've Been Gay. Has Ellen Page ever played a straight character? Consensus says....no. How much better would Juno have been if she gave her baby to a couple of nice lesbians? Juno has her gay awakening, Rebecca finds a cool Asian girlfriend, who, like dresses awesome and rocks out...but we don't want to be too particular. Paulie Bleecker is a stand in lesbian if we've ever seen one and we all know that Juno's far more in love with her best friend Leah. #justiceforLeah Check out their new podcast Sweetbitter here: https://sweetbitterpodcast.com/ Follow along on Twitter @lezhangoutpod and Facebook and Instagram (@lezhangoutpod).

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) are joined by actor and new mom, Kassie Thornton to talk about why The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Should've Been Gay. Even looking at fan edits, you can tell that Susie Myers is a little lesbian. She's clearly in love with Midge and we think Midge and Susie would make one heck of a couple. Alex Borstein has said that Susie is pansexual, but the show has never dared to speak it and for a show that came out in 2017, all we can say is make Susie gay you cowards! Honorable mention to bassist Carol Kaye who we would have definitely liked to see in a sleepover with Midge or Susie. Really anyone! Check out her new film: Chasing Sunshine here: www.chasingsunshinemovie.comFollow along on Twitter @lezhangoutpod and Facebook and Instagram (@lezhangoutpod).

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with Nicole Maines(@nicoleamaines), actress and transgender rights activist known for playing the first transgender superhero, Nia Nal, on SuperGirl. We chat about where Nicole would be if she was still in welding class, how happy she is to be doing what she loves and the positive fan reaction to her portrayal of Nia Nal. We also discuss more diverse and nuanced representation where LGBTQ characters can be both Gayngels and Demons. From Nicole playing a vampire in Bit to a superhero, she's played both sides of the spectrum and wants to see other characters that explore the gray area in between "good and evil" where people are just people. Check out her new film Bit, the queer vampire movie we've all been waiting for on Amazon here: https://amzn.to/32PhiaL.

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) are joined by freelance journalist and Taylor Swift expert, Becca Damante (@beccadamante) to talk about why Taylor Swift's Folklore Should've Been Gay. This is our first ever Should've Been Gay for an album and we could not be more excited for this pick. We talk about the teenage love triangle between Betty, James and a third mystery woman, Taylor Swift's very specific choice of words like chosen family, hiding in the closet and literally every lyric in Betty. Riding on your skateboard, kissing in front of all your stupid friends and leading her to the garden, sound familiar or just gay? We end the debate that James is a man with the irrefutable argument that a high school boy couldn't get away with sleeping next to his girlfriend and dreaming about another girl all summer long, but who could?! Lesbians! Sleeping next to their girlfriend and pretending it's a harmless sleepover since 1999. And of course we had to dive into some #kaylor theories because it's just too fun not to! Follow along on Twitter @lezhangoutpod and Facebook and Instagram (@lezhangoutpod). And check out Becca's non-profit Pride and Less Prejudice, providing age appropriate LGBTQ books for pre-K to 3rd grade. https://www.prideandlessprejudice.org/
