Lez Hang Out | Lesbian Life & Queer Culture

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) are joined by reaction Youtuber and SuperCorp expert Abnormally Adam (@abnormallyadam) to talk about why SuperCorp Should've Been Gay. We talk about the parallels between Superman and Lois Lane and Supergirl and Lena Luthor that we don't think they put in there by accident, the intense sexual chemistry between Kara and Lena and the romantic way in which their "platonic" relationship is played out on screen. From grand romantic gestures like filling Kara's office with flowers, Kara getting Lena her favorite donuts when she's sad and Lena literally BUYING A COMPANY for Kara, these two best friends have a more intimately beautiful relationship than any of the straight pairings they try to put Lena and Kara with. From longing glances at photographs, lip bites and lingering stares, the body language and editing of the SuperCorp "friendship" is anything but friendly. Adam chats with us about his hopes that the writers will finally go there. Make SuperCorp canon YOU COWARDS!  Follow along on Twitter @lezhangoutpod and Facebook and Instagram (@lezhangoutpod). And stay tuned for Adam's Instagram story takeover! Watch Adam react to SuperCorp on his Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/abnormallyadam

Happy (Belated) Rex Manning Day! Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) talk about why Empire Records Should've Been Gay. We talk about how the swirling vortex of gay that surrounds Corey (Liv Tyler) as she decides between her undying love for her best friend Gina (Renee Zellweger) and freshly shaved power queer Deb (Robin Tunney). We talk the pain that we both feel when baby gay Corey throws herself at Rex Manning, a man who she thinks she must sleep with because of heteronormativity, followed by the pain that we feel when she gives in to being AJ's girlfriend because she convinces herself that her complete lack of feelings for him is "normal". Oh man can we all relate with Corey's stumble into gayness, her unrequited love for her best friend, her attraction to the out lesbian she works with and her lack of desire to sleep with Rex Manning. Follow along on Twitter @lezhangoutpod and Facebook and Instagram (@lezhangoutpod).

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with Lauren Duca (@laurenduca), Award-winning freelance journalist. and the Author of "How to Start a Revolution: Young People and the Future of American Politics.", to chat about the role that repression took in her coming out. Lauren talks about how you can be wrapped in a Pride flag and still repress your same sex feelings, how we tend to fall into the grooves that society has made for us and what it took for her to love herself and come to terms with every part of her. We talk about femme representation and the heteronormative scripts that lead to repression and how liberating it can be to finally break free from those scripts.

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) dive into Willow and Tara from Buffy the Vampire Slayer for this Lez-ssentials episode, a recurring segment on the essential movies and TV shows in the lesbian canon. We are also joined by special guest Amber Benson who plays Tara on Buffy to talk LGBTQ rep in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the importance of Willow and Tara's relationship. Willow and Tara's relationship spans 3 seasons and their relationship continues to be an important rite of passage for LGBTQ media lovers. We talk about our first experiences with Willow and Tara, how magic is really a metaphor for gayness, censorship, the Buffy reboot and how Willow and Tara got through mental illness, addiction and unexpected exes together. And they live happily ever after! We don't want to talk about it! Lez-ssentials comes complete with a Willow and Tara 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 of Willow and Tara entitled "Yours."

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) talk about why Sierra Burgess Is A Loser Should've Been Gay. We talk about the hate to love story between Sierra and Veronica, how falling in love with someone via text is inherently queer and all of the gay staring that occurs between Sierra and Veronica throughout the film. From the first time Sierra confidently tells Veronica she'll meet her for tutoring after school, to their games of footsie, to their first date at a high school party, Sierra and Veronica are end game. Oh and Sierra writes the song Sunflower just for her. So gay. Follow along on Twitter @lezhangoutpod and Facebook and Instagram (@lezhangoutpod). Come see us live in LA March 12th at bit.ly/lezla.

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) are joined by Nyesha and Samantha Davis-Williams, (@twomommiesandababy) to talk about starting a family as queer women. We talk about the unique challenges of conceiving as two queer women, deciding if you want to get a known or unknown donor or if you want to consider adoption and all of the things that they wish they knew before they went on their journey as queer parents. The duo are very passionate about representing for the LGBTQ community which led them to become first-time authors with their children's book titled Umi & Uma: The Story of Two Mommies and a Baby. The two pridefully represent women of color within the LGBTQ community, and was the first married same-sex couple of color who participated and won HGTV's hit game show Flea Market Flip. Get their children's book, Umi & Uma, here: https://amzn.to/2T7Qwo1 .
