Compulsory Heterosexuality w/ Rachel McCartney - Ep. 121

Comedian Rachel McCartney joins us talk about the theory that the
only normal sexual relationships in society are between men and
women, also known as compulsory heterosexuality. We definitely had
to go to Wikipedia to prepare! Have you ever tried to fight your
feelings and sexual identity to see if you could make
heterosexuality work? It's a funny, messy discussion about the
complicated nature of being queer, accepting of your identity, and
trying to go against it. We also talk about the masterpiece that is
Portrait of a Lady on Fire and a VERY bad Susan at Melody's
Stonewall co-hosting debut. Plus, we talk about language policing
and cancel culture within the queer community. We end with a
question from a very special Susan about getting over her first big
heartbreak. -Get extra episodes by joining our Patreon
