Gay Aunts w/ Mila Myles – Ep. 77

Okay FINE. We’ll talk about being gay aunts. If you’re realllly
going to make us do it and pull out pictures of our nieces and
nephews, we guess we’ll oblige. Mila Myles came by to dyke out
about her experience being a gay auntie to her sister’s kids, and
why somebody should maybe check her when she volunteers to bring
them to New York City to look after for multiple weeks! How is
being a queer presence in a child’s life different and important?
How does it affect that child’s understanding of gender and
sexuality? And most importantly, how can you teach them to vogue on
your Instagram account??! We also talk about the whiteness of
Portland, Oregon and Hulu’s Shrill, which leads us into a
discussion about the gentrification of Brooklyn and how white
people trigger anxiety. As always, we end with a question from a
listener who shows up to DRAG Sarah! Listen, and then tag us in
