Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with actor and singer Samantha Aucoin (@samanthaaucoin) to talk about why the iconic teen drama Dawson\u2019s Creek Should\u2019ve Been Gay. We couldn\u2019t do an episode with Samantha without first chatting about one of our current favorite shows, Syfy\u2019s Astrid and Lilly Save the World! We talk about Sam\u2019s breakout role as Lilly and what she hopes to see in the future for Lilly and Candace\u2019s enemies to lovers storyline. Then, we dive back in time to 1998 to talk about Dawson\u2019s Creek. We all agree on Dawson being the absolute worst and quickly push him out of any love triangles. We take a look at what was actually gay, like the first kiss between two men on tv, and then lament over the disappointing refusal to acknowledge any lesbian characters. You can\u2019t name a character after legendary lesbian Joe March and try to pretend she\u2019s straight, but Dawson\u2019s Creek sure tried to. We talk about how different the show would\u2019ve been if Jen had been allowed to be a lesbian- Abby would\u2019ve lived! We have a lot of ships, even more than the Dawson\u2019s Creek fan website. A world of possibility opens up with the college years episodes, when we get into shipping roommates and reflecting on our own gay college experiences. We know one thing for sure, Dawson\u2019s Creek Should\u2019ve Been Gay. Follow along on Twitter: Lez Hang Out (@lezhangoutpod) and answer our Q & Gay at the end of every episode.
