🌈 EPISODE: Queer Joy as Resistance ✨

Michele + River chat about how Joy becomes a radical act in a world that often tries to dim our light. In this episode of Live OUT Loud, we celebrate the fierce, beautiful power of Queer Joy — not as an escape from struggle, but as a bold form of resistance. 💥

From chosen family to visibility, from ballroom floors to backyard gatherings, queer folks have always found ways to cultivate joy — even in the face of fear, discrimination, and erasure. We explore how living out loud isn't just personal expression — it's collective liberation.

🎧 Tune in as we unpack:

Why joy is not frivolous — it’s foundational

How chosen family strengthens our roots

The intersection of protest, pride, and pleasure

What it means to be visibly joyful in the face of hate

This episode is a reminder: our laughter, our love, our style, our dance moves, our truth — they all matter. And when we choose joy, we choose to exist on our own terms.
