The Gay Cousin


Listen Later

Damon, Jordan and Tony are curious – How much can you respect your family members who don’t respect your queerness? 

Being Black & Queer in a place like New York, it can be very easy to curate our lives to only interact with people who respect our queerness. But we can’t always do that with family, and in Black families respecting elders is important too, sometimes regardless of how much they respect your queerness. 

The internet’s favorite viral queer chef William Coleman joins us for this intimate conversation about how to survive the cookout. The group talks about the moments they’ve let slide, the moments they’ve had to stand up to family, and how they each approach this tricky question of respect. 

You can join the conversation on socials and let us know your thoughts.
