Relationsh!t Podcast

Got some sh!t to say?

Trans socialite and chef, Lucy Hicks Anderson is this week’s #QueerHistory. In 1945, Lucy was arrested and tried for perjury after authorities discovered she was assigned male at birth but lived life as a married woman. The Ventura County district attorney argued that Lucy lied about her sex when applying for a marriage license, therefore perjuring herself and her husband at a time when trans visibility did not exist. Join us in celebrating a true queer icon and learn more about the aftermath of this interesting court case. Then, Marko and Tony sit down to talk about what it means to get old(er) within the gay community and how aging out feels to those over thirty. What is our obsession with youth and why do we fear getting old? This question and more during the conversation. And finally, the guys sit down to talk about the new movie “Fire Island” along with other queer documentaries and shows and whether or not they are impacting the queer movement the way we want them to.

To celebrate Pride Month, Marko and Tony are highlighting Leonard Matlovich, the very first military servicemember to publicly come out. In 1975, Matlovich came out to his superiors which led to his military discharge and immediate media spotlight, including a TIME Magazine cover proclaiming, “I Am a Homosexual”. Matlovich died at the age of 44 due to AIDS-related complications, but his contribution to the LGBTQ+ community is why he is this week’s #QueerHistory icon. Then, to kick off Pride Month, the guys sit down to talk about what “pride” means to them and how this year’s Pride celebration differs from others. Then, drag queen performer and wallet snatcher, Catrina Lovelace (@catrinalovelace) joins Marko and Tony at the Virtual Critable to report on her heaux tales, dating void, and her next big show and where you can see her perform!

Then, Marko and Tony sit down to talk about criticism within a relationship and whether it is helpful or hurtful to couples. Where is the line between constructive criticism and blunt rudeness? Then, the guys finish up the discussion by counting down the seven things you should NEVER criticize your partner on. We think a few are missing, but wonder what you think should have made the list. Touch base with us in the comments and let us know your thoughts on how productive criticism is to relationships.

This week’s #QueerRelationshipGoals is a first for us: we highlight a couple living in Israel! This Tel Aviv-based couple has everything we love about love and they are totally worth the follow! Go check out Itzik (@itzik_tlv) and his husband Eli (@eliraz27) on IG and let them know the Critellis sent you. Then, Marko and Tony enter the virtual church for a difficult conversation about what the tabernacle of trauma has meant to them (and to a lot of other queer people). We review some interesting statistics about how many queer people still hold the faith. You might be surprised by the facts! Finally, we talk with pastor Jordan Floro (@jordanfloro), neighbor, good guy, and modern church leader. Listen while he acknowledges the less-than-inclusive queer experience with church and what he thinks about the issue. Laugh, heal, and perhaps feel a little spirituality as we talk further about this difficult issue.

Tucson husbands, Blake and Matthew (@blakeandmatthew) are this week’s #QueerRelationshipGoals, and for very good reason. Not only are these two incredibly adorable together, but we also enjoy following them through their adoption journey and know they will be wonderful parents.  Support them by checking out their website (HERE). Then, Marko and Tony get together ahead of their trip to Greece to talk about how they plan a vacation and who is more high-maintenance when it comes to packing.  Are you an over-packer? Finally, @thecritellis are the week’s guests as they talk about the top ten items they must bring with them while traveling. Make a guess what Marko and Tony’s #1 item is.
