Lez Hang Out | A Lesbian Podcast

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out to talk about why The Edge of Seventeen Should’ve Been Gay. First things first, this movie stars Hailee Steinfeld as Nadine. So off the bat it’s already clearly supposed to be gay. Nadine and Krista have been madly in love since they met as children, but somehow they don’t end up together. Instead they have a horrific friend breakup because Krista starts dating Nadine’s brother. Somehow Hailee Steinfeld keeps getting cast as the lesbian who cannot stop sleeping with their sister-in-law. We have talked before about the trope of the brother as a stand in when movies are too cowardly to be gay. This movie is the extreme version of that. Every classic mistake ever made by closeted high school kids happens in this movie. The film really makes so much more sense when viewed through a gay lens, but it is also so painful to watch. One thing is for sure, The Edge of Seventeen Should’ve Been Gay. Follow along on Twitter: Lez Hang Out (@lezhangoutpod) and answer our Q & Gay at the end of every episode.

Support Journey to the Heart Here:bit.ly/supportjourneytotheheartIn a world where everyone shares a tattoo with their soulmate, you'd think falling in love would be easy. Journey to the Heart follows three best friends as they go on an adventure of a lifetime. Albina, Babette, and Charlie are displeased with their soulmate tattoo, or lack of one, for different reasons, and this leads them to go on an adventure that will change their lives forever. Journey to the Heart will also be the first "choose your own journey" podcast musical. The audience will get to decide where the story goes and your choices will influence what you hear in each episode. The alternate versions of the episodes that aren't released on our main feed will be released on our Patreon for those of you who have been supporting us consistently since the launch of the Flame and new Patrons who join for this season. This season we'll be exploring the concept of soul mates. What does it mean to not have a soul mate? What does it mean to choose your own partner and choose your own adventure despite the path that was chosen for you? We're also exploring ethical non-monogamy in a world where you're told you only have one option and it's quite literally tattooed on your body. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lezhangoutpod.

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with queer screenwriter Alix Markman (@markwoman) to talk about Syfy’s new series Astrid & Lilly Save the World. We have a lot of feelings about Astrid & Lilly and are overjoyed by the positive representation that it provides. Alix informed us that there were women and nonbinary people in nearly every key creative position and we think it shows. If you grew up obsessed with Buffy, you will love Astrid & Lilly Save the World. This show is so refreshing and is an incredibly important show for everyone to see because it provides a healthy, positive portrayal of characters that are so relatable, yet so rarely seen in mainstream media. For once there are fat characters that get to save the day and kick ass and their weight isn’t treated like a joke or an issue in any way. And if all that wasn’t enough to make you watch, the queer ship of Lilly and Candace will certainly have you tuning in. It is beautiful to watch their relationship evolve and see how much Candace truly adores Lilly.

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with actor Jessica Darrow (@jessdarrow_) to talk about why Disney’s Encanto Should’ve Been Gay. Jess played the role of Luisa in Encanto and while Luisa is an obvious, stereotypically gay character, everything about this movie is queer. There are rainbows everywhere. The casita is always hopping with colorful, musical parties that attract the entire town. Honestly, every character can be viewed through a queer lens, because as we’ve discussed so many times before, magic is queer. Jess talks about her experience filming the movie and how it related to her own experiences with her family and her sexuality. One thing is for sure, Encanto Should’ve Been Gay.

Have you ever had a crush on someone and just felt powerless to make a move? In this week’s episode, Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out to talk about the common experience of being a queer in the headlights. Whether it’s because you’re afraid of losing a friend, not sure if the other person is actually gay, or are afraid of rejection, this is a very common queer experience. We discuss heteronormativity, making the first move, and our own experiences with rejection. We share tips to help you figure out if your feelings are reciprocated and scripts you can use to confess to your crush. We want to help you take a leap of faith and speak your truth! You’ll never know what could happen if you never put yourself out there. Follow along on Twitter: Lez Hang Out (@lezhangoutpod) and answer our Q & Gay at the end of every episode.

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out to discuss why the 2010 movie You Again Should’ve Been Gay. This film has an incredible cast and the gayest premise ever, but somehow manages to miss the mark entirely. We watched it, so you don’t have to. With stars like Kristen Bell, Jamie Lee Curtis, Sigourney Weaver, Kristin Chenoweth, and Betty White, we had higher hopes for this movie. The premise includes many of the typical gay tropes like the notorious ‘there’s only one bed’ situation and the inherent queerness of the archenemy, but never follows through. The multigenerational gay trauma of the two main families is a lot to unpack and does not have a satisfying resolution. The film is hindered by too much male gaze and unrealistic depictions of how women actually interact with each other. For a film that could easily give us three generations of queer women ships, it suffers from not seeing any of them through. If the movie had been gay, 99% of the flaws would’ve been avoided. One thing is for sure, You Again Should’ve Been Gay. Follow along on Twitter: Lez Hang Out (@lezhangoutpod) and answer our Q & Gay at the end of every episode.

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with standup comedian Karinda Dobbins (@karindadobbins) and chat about differing opinions on quintessential gay topics like lesbian wedding locations, Subarus, doggy clothes, building IKEA furniture and more. Karinda shares how she got into standup and what it’s like auditioning for the part of the “lezzie on the side”. We also invent our own lesbian dating show that involves both building furniture with potential partners and UHauling into the house you built together on the show.

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with TikTok star Grace Rolen (@fullofgracer) to talk about why Disney’s Descendants movies Should’ve Been Gay. We discuss the inherent queerness of magic, villains, and archenemies. We also do a line for line breakdown of Mal and Evie’s love duet, Space Between. Almost every character in these movies, particularly the ones from the Isle, is queer and there are so many possible ships! The Isle full of villain kids is a queer allegory if we’ve ever seen one. We talk about the chemistry between Mal and Uma and how obvious it is that they are exes. We also talk about how in love Mal and Evie are the entire time and how bland Mal’s relationship with her actual boyfriend is in comparison. One thing is for sure, Descendants Should’ve Been Gay.

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) tackle the age old question of how to maintain desire in a long term relationship. This question comes up a lot, especially in lesbian relationships. There’s a reason people talk about “lesbian bed death” and most of it is rooted in the patriarchy. Societal expectations around sex and desire are based on men and this can cause a lot of issues for women. At the start of a relationship when your hormones are vibing through the roof, it probably doesn’t feel difficult to get turned on or conjure up that spark of passion. But by the 3 year mark when our hormones start to stabilize and our bodies stop sabotaging our ability to think clearly, it might take a little something extra to ignite that desire. We share tips for navigating the changes to your sex life that occur naturally as your relationship progresses.

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with actor Clarissa Thibeaux (@clarissa) to talk about the early 2000s “girl power” Disney animated series Kim Possible. Call me, beep me, if you wanna reach me. When you wanna page me, that’s real gay! This show had everything from the kick-ass teenage heroine in a problematic age gap ship with her nemesis to the campy gay villain with Frank N. Furter vibes. Shego singlehandedly made an entire generation of baby gays recognize their queerness and that’s not a feat to be taken lightly. Kim Possible also has iconic queer fashion that still holds up to this day. Don’t even lie, there are cargo pants and a crop top in your closet right now. We know one thing for sure, Kim Possible Should’ve Been Gay. Follow along on Twitter: Lez Hang Out (@lezhangoutpod) and answer our Q & Gay at the end of every episode.
