Internalized Homophobia w/ Rita Brent – Ep. 118

Comedian Rita Brent joins us to talk about the trifecta of factors
that fed her internalized homophobia. Even the most out and proud
of us have face some form of this harmful feeling that can make us
act against our own interests or even hurt those around us. Rita
talks about how growing up in Mississippi, in the church, and
enlisting in the military all shaped her views of her queer
identity. We’ve also got Melody Kamali in the co-host seat this
week to give Rita tips on her recent move to New York and how to
connect with Connecticut audiences. Plus, we end with a listener
question from South Africa! -Come to the next Dyking Out at
