The Queer Soul Spotlight

Ali (she/her) is my WIFE! In this special two part grand finale of season 3, we reflect on our wedding and the days leading up to it. Part 2 (that's this one!) focuses on all the things that went WRONG - the big disaster that almost derailed everything, a case of mistaken identity, two animals that left us with truly unforgettable memories of our big day, and more... you don't want to miss this one.

Ash (they/them) is a queer and nonbinary artist specializing in wire wrapped jewelry. We talk about the queerest college degrees you can get, how the same people wrongly claiming queer people are grooming children are the ones who sexualize their own kids, and passing as a cis/het person with their boyfriend.

ASH'S RECOMMENDATIONS:

Abi (she/her) is a lesbian wedding photographer and plus size hiker based in Minnesota.
