The holidays can be joyful, heavy, awkward, and everything in between—especially when you’re queer.

In this episode, Elih and Rene open up a community conversation recorded during a holiday event, featuring multiple queer voices sharing honest reflections on family, grief, chosen family, traditions, boundaries, and finding joy during the season.

Whether the holidays feel warm, complicated, or downright exhausting, this episode is a reminder that you’re not alone—and that queer joy still finds a way through.
