heteronormativity

Internalized homophobia is something that many of us in the LGBTQ+ community have to work through in order to fully embrace our true selves. For some, it may be a quiet voice in the back of their minds telling them that being queer is wrong or shameful. For others, it may manifest as a fear of rejection by loved ones or society. In this episode, we share personal experiences, tackle internalized homophobia and offer tips to help you overcome negative thoughts that hold you back from embracing your fabulous, audacious queerness. Enjoy!

Last week Ryan said in passing that he's bi. This week, we unpack that.

When Ryan says he's bi, what he's saying is that someone's gender neither helps nor hinders his ability to be physically attracted to them. It's not that he discovered a new part of himself, but rather that he released the compulsory heterosexuality he was taught to internalize.

• If gender is nonbinary, then what's the difference between bisexual and pansexual?
• How does a married person explore their newfound sexual orientation?
• In an androgynous world where masculine/feminine expression was decoupled from genitalia, would any of the LGBTQIA+ identifiers have any meaning?

 GRATITUDES:

• Abby is grateful that she has the honor of getting to watch a close friend blossom and grow.
• Ryan is grateful that he seems to have internalized the life lesson, "you don't have to do all the work all the time."
