Outward | Why Love Isn’t Apolitical: Liberation and Rethinking Relationships

This week, Bryan Lowder sits down with activist and author Dean
Spade to discuss his latest book, Love in a F*cked Up World.
Together, they unpack how capitalism, white supremacy, and
patriarchy shape our desires, the pitfalls of the “relationship
escalator,” and why collective care might be the most radical love
of all. From breaking free of toxic relationship scripts to
reimagining intimacy beyond hierarchy and control, this
conversation challenges everything we’ve been taught about love—and
offers a vision for something more liberatory. Learn more about
