The Everyday Queer

“In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes” Benjamin Franklin was on the money with this one! Coming to terms with uncertainty has been one of the biggest lessons I learned in the past year as an overthinker, but I found ways to come to terms with it. Journey with me.

Wrapping up Season 1 of The Everyday Queer. It has been a wonderful learning experience for me, and I hope to bring more awesome content for you in Season 2. I have decided to take a small break from the podcast, just to sort out life things and find ways to produce quality content that is more aligned to the direction I want the podcast to take.

You can keep an eye out for Season 2’s trailer on my socials within the next 3 months:

This week we go back to the roots and talk about the history of how we came to celebrate Pride as we know it today. I also share my thoughts on what shape pride takes for me this year and share my feelings towards how context affects how we experience Pride and the idea of Pride in general.

We have been socialized to associate being single with loneliness and being miserable. People assume that you can only find happiness when you’re cuffed and in a relationship. This episode unpacks how one can be single and happy even though they really want a relationship, and we share ways in which you can possibly be happy with being alone.

This week I talk about what unrequited love is and the importance of letting go of those feelings and how that translates to a form of self-love. I share my experience of being in love with someone who did not feel the same about me and how I got over them.

In this episode we discuss intimate partner violence (IPV) within the LGBTQ+ community, which isn’t spoken about in the community and in the broader society when addressing issues around IPV and abuse. The episode brings attention to why we need to talk about this, the various barriers that LGBTQ+ people are met with when seeking out support services are discussed and the basic ways in which you can possibly support a LGBTQ+ friend or family member who might be experiencing IPV are mentioned.
