Compulsory Heterosexuality with Hannah Einhorn

We are kicking off pride month with a real treat of an episode! Hannah Einhorn is back on the pod to discuss compulsory heterosexuality and lesbianism in the modern day. In this episode we discuss Adrienne Rich's essay "Compulsory Heterosexuality and Lesbian Existence" as well as Angeli Luz's viral Tumblr post "The Lesbian Masterdoc" to get to the bottom of what compulsory sexuality is and how it effects all of us- gay or not!
