queer couple

A little life update as we unpack life with a teething baby, Andie's birthday extravaganza and dive deep into conversation about how some strangers perceive the conception of babies in same sex couples. We touch on our personal feelings around having a donor conceived child, what to call the donor and how to address inappropriate comments surrounding creating our family.

Theres something about having candid couch chats with long time friends, except this time we filmed it. Childhood friend, rising star, singer songwriter: AKICITA stops by the studio. Take a seat and join us on the couch as we dive deep into body dysmorphia, sobriety, building our careers and our resilience that has kept us pushing through when the times got tough.  

Vulnerability is power! In this episode we discuss prioritizing yourself post baby, gray hairs, jealousy, not holding yourself back form experiencing life to it's fullest and to top it all off we breakdown communication and the importance it has in a relationship. It's a rollercoaster of emotions, join us as we unpack it all.

As The Queer Social  makes it's way to the digital world, we're kicking it off with a fun little Traitors Q&A with Andie Vanacore- who happens to be the co-host of this podcast. If you don't want spoilers, I suggest you run to Peacock TV and binge The Traitors US first before pressing play. In this episode we answer some of the viewer's most burning questions, let's get into it! 

Ahead of the incredible Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat hitting the stage, Euan Fistrovic Doidge (Joseph) and Mitchell Fistrovic Doidge chatted to Cam and Ali about their unique meeting, how they manage a work and life balance, and their future family plans.

Making friends is hard, & often maintaining those friendships can be even more challenging. In this weeks episode Karbon & Emily talk about their trip into the woods, the loss of a friend, and the revelations they had that encouraged them to break the cycle of bail culture in their own lives & put themselves back out there.

The reality is that every young girl with curvy features will most likely experience being ridiculed or spoken down to for clothes fitting her in a way that isn't overwhelmingly baggy and a "distraction to boys". This week, Emily and Karbon discuss everything that's wrong with dress codes and why they are toxic to our children.

When Melissa and Allessandra first met at Georgetown, they didn't care for each other. Little did they know that their paths were destined to cross again. Years later Allessandra and Melissa would find themselves working for the same non-profit and 6 hours plus 175 questions would (unbeknownst to them) be the beginning of their relationship. From the adjustments that come with being a blended family, to navigating the world (and its legalities) as a same-sex couple, this couple has been through a whirlwind.  Through it all they have found a way to continuously support each other and reaffirm that they are "all in".

Society (including ourselves) often gatekeeps the term "artist", making us feel like we don't belong. So, what actually gives you the right to call yourself an artist? This week Emily and Karbon get a little silly and a little serious when they talk about their history with the word "artist" and what they think about it today.  Hope you enjoy!
