The B Word (Season 4 Pride Month Reissue)

Published: June 6, 2023, 5 p.m.

b'Happy June/Happy Pride! For this week\'s summer re-mix we are reissuing our season 4 conversation about bisexuality with the team from Catcall Magazine\\xa0. This was such a fun conversation, and also served as Megan\'s first official "coming out" on the pod. We wanted to reissue this one because at a time when anti-trans, homophobic, hate is spreading we think its important to center queer joy and queer thinkers and queer conversations.\\nIn this episode we cover:\\n\\nComing out as bisexual\\n\\nBisexual erasure and biphobia\\n\\nThe importance of community organizing and building community to fight back against bigots.\\n\\n\\nThank you to the team for sharing your stories so openly! This was so fun for us!\\nAbout Catcall:\\nCatcall is a digital collective uplifting Midwest writers, photographers, and artists.
