Thank you for listening to another episode of our podcast. This episode is a great one: their Graces Lord Rhayne and Lord Rease invite us in to the Gentleman's Club. They discussed it all: colorism, queer baiting, who isn't fine, who isn't ish, masculinity, the optics of interracial relationships, and coined a term.

This episode discusses male sexual assault. If you or someone you know, who identifies as male, has experienced sexual assault or rape and needs assistance, please contact 1 in 6 or SafeHelp Room.
