Room For Us

Below Her Mouth is a controversial movie in the queer community. Some hate it, some love it, and some hate to love it. On this episode, we watch the film together LIVE and then talk about it. We dive into the INTENSE sex scenes (they don't hold *anything* back in this movie) and the chemistry between the lead actors, Erika Linder and Natalie Krill. Pers explains why she thinks the lesbian sex in this movie is an accurate depiction, unlike other queer movies in the past (a la Blue is the Warmest Colour). We explore why this movie is such a hot topic in the lesbian community and how we desperately need more queer relationships represented on film. Plus, how Sar and Pers felt watching what is essentially soft core porn together (lol). What did you think of Below Her Mouth? More importantly, what queer stories do YOU want to see on film?

Are you the ghosted, ghoster, or a little bit of both? This episode is for you. We did a lil research to find out why ghosting hurts so god damn much. Turns out there are legitimate neurological reasons. Plus a whole bunch of reasons we just made up. Either way, ya girls explore the impact of ghosting, why people ghost in the first place, and how to deal with getting ghosted. Time to get vulnerable, friends. You game? Let's go. (Pssst. Got a ghosting story for us? DM us @girlxgirlpodcast or shoot us an email at [email protected]).

New year, same gay sh*t. We're kicking off 2022 with a topic we've been wanting to slice into for a while now (pun intended): scissoring. For far too long, scissoring has been the punch line of a million not-funny jokes. So, is it even a thing? Do all lesbians scissor? Do lesbians *only* scissor? We break it all down, plus other gay sex myths that need to be debunked, like yesterday. Come along for the ride as we say the word "penetration" about 100 times. Sorry, mom's! Got a topic you want us to cover this year? DM us @girlxgirlpodcast on IG + TikTok or shoot us an email at [email protected].

Last episode of the year? Pardon me??? We cap off a whirlwind year with a little reflection + prediction, and a lot of love. Since launching the podcast this year, we've been so grateful to build a small community of pals from around the world. We talk about what this pod and that community has taught us. Plus, what we're most proud of this year both personally and professionally. Then, we read letters we wrote to our future selves — only to be revisited one year from now. Come join us for an end of 2021 party! Catch ya in 2022, friends.

On this ep, we hang out with Brianna Musco — indie pop artist, songwriter, and proud queer femme — to talk about making music that speaks to all the gay girl sh*t she didn't see growing up. Even better? We're also joined by the hilarious Amanda Lance, a queer content creator and all-around lesbian icon, who plays Brianna's love interest in the new video for her song "Paradise"! We gossip with both pals about discovering their sexuality, coming out, being boldly authentic on the internet, and — of course — why it's so important for Brianna to represent WLW relationships in her music.

Whether you're straight, queer, or somewhere in between, you can be an ally for the queer community. How? We're breaking it all down on this episode! S talks about her role as a straight ally and what she does to try and be better every day. P explains what she, as a gay woman, thinks an ally should look like — plus, what she does to be an ally for her community. We discuss how exposure, representation, and a basic respect for human rights can bring out the ally in all of us. We also tackle performative allyship, and how straight people especially can be more genuine and authentic about their support for the queer community. Then, we spotlight some of pop culture's most notable queer allies and what they do to help make an impact and create change! Got Qs about allyship?

Girl crush? Bromance? What does it all mean? And why can't people who identify as the same gender just be affectionate with each other...because they want to be? On this episode, we break down the age-old adage "all girls are a little gay." We talk about the differences between how women and men show each other love, and how female relationships (friendships or romantic) are rarely taken seriously by society. Plus, how can we teach boys and girls (but especially boys) that they can be affectionate with each other in whatever way feels most authentic to them? Please enjoy us trying to move elegantly through this topic and DM us @girlxgirlpodcast with your thoughts on it all!

The gals were in the mood for a good old fashioned heart-to-heart. On this ep, we sit down with some wine (of course) and play We're Not Really Strangers — a card game designed to skip the BS and cut right to learning who we really are. S talks about a dream she let go of. P explains how she feels different internally than how others perceive her. We both get real about our friendship and being partners in life. S talks about how she's learning to be whole without another person. And P has to call the person she admires most (live on the air) and tell them why she appreciates them. Grab a glass of vino and get cozy with us for this vulnerable (and tipsy) conversation between best friends and sisters-by-choice.

Today, we're joined by the incredibly inspiring and beautifully spoken Owen Unruh! Owen is a Two-Spirit, Nêhiyaw man who is currently recovering from a 10-year addiction. About 6 months ago, Owen started showing up as his most authentic, vulnerable self on social media. Safe to say, people took notice and his following skyrocketed. We chat with Owen about growing up as an adopted queer kid in a white, religious family. He tells us about when his addiction started and how he found the strength to move forward from homelessness and avoidance into sobriety and healing. Owen explains how re-connecting with his Indigenous roots has helped him discover his purpose and his identity as Two-Spirit. It was SUCH an honour to sit down with Owen for this conversation. We learned a hell of a lot, and we hope you do too. If you or someone you love is struggling with addiction, please know that you're loved and you're not alone. As Owen says, you have the power to make every choice in your life, from the moment you wake up to the moment you go to sleep. Stories like Owen's are proof of that.

Fun fact: over half of all queer people in the US identify as bisexual. So why is the B in LGBTQIA+ still such a hard thing for people to grasp — for straight and queer people? On this episode, we were inspired by an AMAZING mailbag from a bi listener in Indonesia! After years of exploring her sexuality and proudly identifying as a bisexual woman, she's now in the process of navigating her relationship with her lovely fiancé, who identifies as male. We share her story and try to answer big Q's like: how can a straight person best support their bisexual partner? What can bi people do to stay true to their identity — no matter which gender they're currently dating? And what can queer people do to support and empower their bisexual pals? As someone who identified as bisexual for years, P describes her experience (the highs and the lows) and gives sage advice for anyone who is being told "this is just a phase". Spoiler: it's not.
