Intersecting Identities w/ Jess Guilbeaux – Ep. 79

Season 3 Episode 5 of Netflix’s Queer Eye brought us the story of
Jess Guilbeaux, a strong black lesbian who was out on her own after
being outed to her adoptive family. Jess was gracious enough to
dyke out with us about how that episode has affected her life, but
also about living with intersecting identities. Many of us our
judged by our identity, or identities, as many of us have multiple.
But sometimes they can be at odds with each other, or we may be at
odds with the label itself when we don’t fit perfectly into
societies expectation of one category or another. We talk about
labels and doing the work for more marginalized identities, and end
with a plea to Paramore and a listener question about her family
who doesn’t acknowledge her queerness. -Keep the podcast a-lez and
