What happens when everyone in your life totally supports you coming out? It never occurred to comedian and content creator, Samantha Andrew, that being queer could be a bad thing, because everyone in her life loved and supported her so strongly. But regardless of how proud you are to be queer, the rest of the world can still be homophobic towards you, which Samantha discovered when she started exploring her sexuality. In this episode, Samantha shares with host Sean Szeps about finding comfort and community in high school theatre, how homophobia can appear when you least expect it and how her own sexuality has changed since falling in love with her partner Cody, who's a transgender man, after only dating women.
