Episode 8: ”I’m not gay, but...”

“I’m not gay, but…”

This week, we’re diving into the wonderfully chaotic world of queer-coded behaviour before we knew we were queer.

From playing as the opposite gender in The Sims, to lurking in gay chatrooms “just out of curiosity” to watching certain videos a little too often, we reflect on all the ways we unknowingly tried to suppress or test our queerness.

We also chat:

• Compulsory heterosexuality (comp het) and how it shaped our early experiences

• The fear of same-gender intimacy going “too far”

• The lack of queer representation growing up, and how that impacted our identity development

• And the moments we look back on and go: “Oh...”

It’s tender. It’s hilarious. It’s extremely gay.

And if you’ve ever had a “wait… am I?” moment, this one’s for you. 🌈💻💋
