QU.EAR | Coming Out Stories

Join us, as we ride the rollercoaster of emotion as Kirstie shares her coming out story. 

This is Kirstie's very deep and honest experience, she certainly doesn't hold back on any of the juicy details.

It all started as a young girl making her barbies lesbians, little did she know the journey of hardships she would go through to figure out her sexuality. From shouting "I DON'T LIKE DICK" at her mum, to lesbian porn popping up on her laptop in front of her family... (take a listen to find out how she smoothly gets out of this one)

Kirstie now finds herself at the age of 29, married with a dog and trying for a baby, however..YOU CAN'T FIGHT THE GAY. She openly talks about how a proposition of a threesome led to a twosome affair. 

There is so much tea to spill, and she pours it for us so openly and honestly from her heart, so have a listen to find out how her wild ride ends.

Join us this episode as we speak to Dean. He tells us all about his personal journey of discovering, coming out and existing as a bisexual man. 

Now living in Spain with his boyfriend, Dean speaks openly and honestly with us as we delve into his experiences and discuss common misconceptions surrounding bisexual relationships.

From hiding his true sexuality throughout school, to coming out to his first girlfriend of 12 years, Dean tells us his story first-hand.

As always, we hope you enjoy luvs... oh, and welcome to Season 2! 🥳🏳️‍🌈

When it was time for Andrea and her family to have a cheeky cocktail, it wasn't just the Aperol Spritz that came out of the closet... 

Andrea is 24, French, and currently studying in the gay capital of the UK - Brighton. Being curious about wanting to hold her female friend's hand in school lead up to her coming out to her close family (for the 1st time...) at just 11 years old! She tells us all about what it was like growing up on a small island whilst trying to figure out who she was and what that all meant. 

It's safe to say that she came up with some pretty creative ways to come out. 

As always, we hope you enjoy luvs!
