This week, Mal sits down with writer and podcaster Peyton Dix to talk about queerness, identity, and coming out in Los Angeles. Peyton reflects on growing up comfortable exploring who she wanted to be and how queerness has shaped both her personality and her career in queer media. The two also discuss how labels in the community can sometimes become rigid boxes that don’t leave room for people to grow or change. It’s an honest conversation about identity and the pressure that can come with being visibly queer.
