Don’t drink?

You must be gay.

That’s what they said—not because they knew, but because they needed to wound.

Because in a world ruled by the Liquid Lie, the fastest way to make you conform is to make you ashamed of who you are.

This episode goes deep into Pride, shame, masculinity, and what it means to survive a culture that punishes difference with a pint. Whether you’re queer or not, if you’ve ever hidden your truth to fit in, this one’s for you.

We talk about South Wales, rugby clubs, toxic masculinity, and the invisible contract boys sign the moment they pick up a drink. And we end with a vow—to stop drinking not to be perfect… but to be free.
