This episode is more of a fun one to celebrate pride month:) Me and my sister Lucia sit down and talk about our favourite pride films, how Lucia hates Blue is The Warmest Colour, and whether the 'nothing about us, without us' rule applies to queer films. Enjoy!

In this second roundtable I've invited three wonderful humans to discuss an extremely important topic: Racism within the LGBTQ+ community. My guests for this roundtable are Juliette Miller, Shady Obady, and Rachel Millares! Although they touch upon many important issues throughout the episode, I would encourage all of you to do your own research on these topics:)

Here is an article written about Shady's enterprise that he talked about during his introduction: https://english.ahram.org.eg/NewsContent/5/35/31596/Arts--Culture/Stage--Street/Oyoon-Art-Group-to-establish-Minya-as-Upper-Egypt%E2%80%99.aspx?fbclid=IwAR134r4f-oTTlPQaOBgpnjoaw0PCho9G71TxhVmNbEptA_pSRqvm7apMJSU

Because the holidays are coming up, I thought it would be great to sit down and talk to two queer people (Adrienne and Rachel) about their experiences with intolerant relatives and how their families have grown to become more accepting over time:) To anyone out there in need of support, here are some resources that Rachel has recommended.
