Lez Hang Out | A Lesbian Podcast

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) talk about why Birds of Prey Should've Been Gay(er). Birds of Prey was already an amazing film for queer women. Renee Montoya is an out lesbian, Harley Quinn is canon bisexual from one clip in the intro sequence. However, the subtext gay is also overwhelming. We talk about the clearly sexual relationship between Black Mask and Mister Zsasz, the awkward gay that is Huntress, the badass queer that is Black Canary and the baby gay, Cassandra, that they all band together to save. We can't wait to see where the next Birds of Prey movie goes and how this band of LGBTQ superheroes kicks some ass and kisses ladies (each other). Also give us the Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy love story we've all been dying to see on the big screen!

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) are joined by reaction Youtuber and SuperCorp expert Abnormally Adam (@abnormallyadam) to talk about why SuperCorp Should've Been Gay. We talk about the parallels between Superman and Lois Lane and Supergirl and Lena Luthor that we don't think they put in there by accident, the intense sexual chemistry between Kara and Lena and the romantic way in which their "platonic" relationship is played out on screen. From grand romantic gestures like filling Kara's office with flowers, Kara getting Lena her favorite donuts when she's sad and Lena literally BUYING A COMPANY for Kara, these two best friends have a more intimately beautiful relationship than any of the straight pairings they try to put Lena and Kara with. From longing glances at photographs, lip bites and lingering stares, the body language and editing of the SuperCorp "friendship" is anything but friendly. Adam chats with us about his hopes that the writers will finally go there. Make SuperCorp canon YOU COWARDS!  Follow along on Twitter @lezhangoutpod and Facebook and Instagram (@lezhangoutpod). And stay tuned for Adam's Instagram story takeover!

Happy (Belated) Rex Manning Day! Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) talk about why Empire Records Should've Been Gay. We talk about how the swirling vortex of gay that surrounds Corey (Liv Tyler) as she decides between her undying love for her best friend Gina (Renee Zellweger) and freshly shaved power queer Deb (Robin Tunney). We talk the pain that we both feel when baby gay Corey throws herself at Rex Manning, a man who she thinks she must sleep with because of heteronormativity, followed by the pain that we feel when she gives in to being AJ's girlfriend because she convinces herself that her complete lack of feelings for him is "normal". Oh man can we all relate with Corey's stumble into gayness, her unrequited love for her best friend, her attraction to the out lesbian she works with and her lack of desire to sleep with Rex Manning. Follow along on Twitter @lezhangoutpod and Facebook and Instagram (@lezhangoutpod).Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lezhangoutpod.Hosted on Acast.

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) dive into Willow and Tara from Buffy the Vampire Slayer for this Lez-ssentials episode, a recurring segment on the essential movies and TV shows in the lesbian canon. We are also joined by special guest Amber Benson who plays Tara on Buffy to talk LGBTQ rep in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the importance of Willow and Tara's relationship. Willow and Tara's relationship spans 3 seasons and their relationship continues to be an important rite of passage for LGBTQ media lovers. We talk about our first experiences with Willow and Tara, how magic is really a metaphor for gayness, censorship, the Buffy reboot and how Willow and Tara got through mental illness, addiction and unexpected exes together. And they live happily ever after! We don't want to talk about it! Lez-ssentials comes complete with a Willow and Tara drinking game because every lesbian movie or tv show should be accompanied by heavy drinking. This episode also comes with an original Lez-ssentials song based off of Willow and Tara entitled "Yours."
