Queerness & Friendships
Manage episode 462528464 series 3641146
Making friends as an adult is hard enough, but throw in an extra layer of queerness, and it becomes a whole new challenge.
In this episode, I open up about the struggles I’ve faced making friends in a new city—like dealing with a lack of boundaries and being treated as “boyfriend #2.” I also dive into the unique challenges of parenting as a queer mom, including navigating mom friendships and teaching my child that everyone deserves to be their authentic selves. This approach can sometimes clash with other parents who teach their kids more rigid ideas about what boys and girls “should” or “shouldn’t” do.
This episode is all about setting clear expectations for your friendships—no matter your gender or sexual identity—and raising the next generation to embrace authenticity.
