Room For Us

For this holiday Monday special, we're diving into DATING. What are P's top tips for dating when you ain't straight? How can you know if a girl is into you? Why is it SO hard to meet girls at bars? Plus, S talks about straight dating and how to know if guys are into you (spoiler alert: it's not rocket science). And why is social media the new hot spot for queer people to meet each other? It's time to have all your dating Qs answered by complete non-experts. Got any dating tips or tricks? Send us a DM on IG @girlxgirlpodcast or shoot us an email at [email protected]!

Do I look gay? On this episode, we dive into the stereotypes of how gay people look. Inspired by another fantastic mailbag from AJ, a listener from NYC, we explore what gay girls look like, what gay guys look like, and why those stereotypes can be damaging - especially for kids like AJ. Although she identifies as a straight woman, she was told the opposite for years - simply because of the way she looked. Has anyone ever assumed your sexual identity because of how you dressed or cut your hair? Have YOU ever had those inherent biases? Let's dive in, gal pals. Got a story you want to share? DM us on IG @girlxgirlpodcast or shoot us an email at [email protected].

What are the differences between queer and straight relationships? On this episode, we dive into everything from U-Hauling to emotional intelligence to gender roles. We explore how queer relationships are both unique from straight ones and also similar in their own ways. Plus, Sar tells the world about that one time she stole a Justin Bieber cut-out. And stay tuned to the end when we record our live reaction to the Elliot Page and Oprah interview! What do you think the main difference is between queer and straight relationships? Shoot us a DM on Instagram @girlxgirlpodcast or send us an email at [email protected] to let us know.

Why is community so important for queer people? And how the HELL can you find yours? On this episode, we open our very first MAILBAG from our incredibly cool listener, Kathryn. She tells us about her struggles to find a queer community and how a collection of fandoms gave her the sense of connection and belonging she had been craving. Pers explains how finding her own queer group has been a major WIP. Then, Pers & Sar break down the many ways queer people can find community and why it's so important to protect queer spaces. Plus, find out why S & P were fighting right before recording the episode. Want your story to be featured in a future episode?

What is it like to grow up a proud gay man? On this episode, we're joined by our BFF Kyle! He tells us about realizing he was gay at 4 years old, growing up gay on the conservative east coast of Canada, and how moving to Toronto liberated him (in more ways than one). Plus, how he used confidence to stop bullying by "playing chess when they were playing checkers." And, of course, as our resident pop music expert, Kyle dives deep into why pop music is so important to the queer community and where stereotypes for gay male interests stem from. Thank you Kyle for sharing your story, being vulnerable, and being the first man meat in our Girl On Girl sandwich! Follow Kyle on Instagram @kylejmacc.

On this episode, S & P smash through all the most common queer phobias. What is heterophobia? How has P dealt with biphobia, femmephobia, AND lesbophobia at different points in her journey? Why does transphobia exist? What can we as the queer community and queer allies do to smash these phobias and understand each other more? AND - most important of all - have S & P ever kissed?!

We're celebrating our 7TH EPISODE with a special queer movie round-up! On this episode, we're diving into our top 7 queer films (so far). Sar explains her abnormal obsession with Call Me By Your Name. Pers shouts her love for Angelina Jolie from the rooftops. We travel back in time to a little mountain called Brokeback. And a few surprise films make the cut that you might not expect. What movies did we miss?! DM us on Instagram @girlxgirlpodcast or shoot us an email at [email protected] to let us know.

What is it like to grow up queer in the bible belt? On this episode, we catch up with the girls from The CAtch Up podcast. Chelsea & Abigail are two queer besties and creators living in Nashville, Tennessee. We talked about growing up in religious schools and communities and coming out in those same communities. Chelsea dishes on her three-season role in The Vampire Diaries and both girls dive into their passion for representing LGBTQ+ people in their work. And, of course, we discover all the best gay bars in Nashville. Find Chelsea & Abigail on Instagram @catchup_podcast, @iamcheslealynnn & @abigailtoday!

On this episode, we sat down with Ginny & Georgia's Humberly González to talk about ALL the things. Humberly opened up about growing up in Venezuela, having a crush on her best friend, launching her acting career, and exploring her sexuality through her characters (including Sophie Sanchez, of course). We also talked about queer and Latina representation in the media and how the characters that Humberly plays are breaking the mould. We were SO honoured to have Humberly as our very first guest on the pod for this honest and vulnerable conversation. Follow Humberly on Instagram @humberly and Twitter @HumberlyG. You can watch her right now on Netflix's Ginny & Georgia and Universal Picture's new movie Nobody, out in theatres now!

Here it is! The episode we know you've all been waiting for. On this ep, S & P talk all things (gay) sex. What is lesbian sex? Why does P find that question frustrating (even though S asked it to P not too long ago)? What is virginity? And is a girl a virgin if she's only had sex with girls? What is safe gay sex? What the f*** is a dental dam?

For more information on safe gay sex, you can also check out Persis' video on her YouTube Channel at 'Persis Abraham' "How to Have Safe Gay Sex/Chats with a Doctor" where she talks to her cousin Gaib who is a licensed Family Doctor in Canada.
