WTF is Compulsory Heterosexuality? (+ Our First Merch Launch!)


Listen Later

Compulsory heterosexuality, who's she? On this episode, we learn about the Lesbian Google Doc: a 30-page guide called "Am I a Lesbian?". Originally posted by an anonymous Tumblr user, the doc earned a cult following for its comprehensive and relatable descriptions of compulsory heterosexuality. AKA: the societal pressure to be straight. Pers tells us about how it all applies to her journey and how her feelings toward men have always been (and continue to be) complex. She even gets real about a recent attraction she felt for a man — and how that doesn't change her identity as a gay woman. Plus, our very first MERCH collection is finally here! 100% of the proceeds from every sale will go to 2 organizations making an impact in the Canadian LGBTQIA+ community: Pflag Canada and Casey House.
