This week queer wedding dance instructor Elaine Anderson talks about creating first dances that feel authentic, connected, and free from traditional gender roles. From ballroom competitions to helping more than 200 queer couples find their footing on the dance floor, Elaine shares how dance can become a powerful expression of identity, trust, and love. They also talk about coming out, queer weddings, learning to be led, and why looking at your partner matters more than perfect choreography.

A conversation about why queer representation is never “just a TV show.” Erin sits down with Amy Rosa Hough, the organizer behind the viral petition to save I Kissed a Girl, to talk about lesbian visibility, media erasure, queer culture, and what it means to finally see yourself reflected on screen. From The L Word to reality dating shows, they unpack why representation shapes identity, community, and the ability to imagine a future for yourself.

We talk about masculinity, softness, and what gets lost when people try to read each other too quickly. It’s part gender theory, part dyke banter, part designer testosterone?

I was asked to create a class around the Queer Identity Development Theory I created for a University sexology course and I'm sharing that with you as well! The teacher loved it, I hope you do too! Much of the queer identity models that exist were created by straight people and involve assimilation. This-- isn't that. This is community driven, non-linear and based on lived experience.
