TODAY’S EPISODE: a very special conversation with the incomparable @travis_k.n! 🌈
Travis is a queer actor who is currently playing the lakeside heartthrob on @primevideo’s newest series The Lake, starring Julia Stiles and Jordan Gavaris! ✨
we talk to Travis about all the things: growing up gay in a small town, coming out, being cast in straight roles, and how the assumptions people make about his sexuality are both a privilege and a challenge.
plus, his experience filming The Lake and how it feels to be playing an authentic queer character on such a prominent platform! 👏🏻👏🏽

compulsory heterosexuality, who's she? 🤔
on this ep, we learn about the Lesbian Google Doc: a 30-page guide called "Am I a Lesbian?" 📖
originally posted by an anonymous Tumblr user, the doc earned a cult following for its comprehensive (and relatable) descriptions of compulsory heterosexuality. AKA: the societal pressure to be straight. 🙄
P tells us about how it all applies to her journey + how her feelings toward men have always been (and continue to be) complex. she even gets real about a recent attraction she felt for a man — and how that doesn't change her identity as a gay woman. 🏳️🌈
LINK IN BIO to learn with us. 🎧
psst. don’t worry, we’ll drop the link to the Google Doc in our stories. 😉
fun fact: @keaunoperez’s first kiss on @twentysomethings was actually a full-blown make out sesh. 😘

this might be our most vulnerable episode yet. 🥺 we sit down with @dawnanoble, an LGTBQIA+ relationship expert and coach, to dive DEEP into dating.
P talks about the patterns that keep coming up in her love life + asks Dawna how she can break them. 💪🏽
S gets real about everything she has been learning + unlearning from past relationships. 💛
Dawna explains the differences between queer and straight relationships, and the challenges that can come up for queer couples (no matter their gender). 🏳️🌈
plua, how the trauma from her ex-wife's infidelity inspired her to build a career around helping other couples in crisis.
this was such a lovely, emotional + open conversation. we hope everyone can take something away from Dawna's expertise — whether you're queer, straight, or somewhere in between. 🥰
