Episode Is This Female Friendship or Gay AF? Untangling Homoerotic WLW Dynamics
Are homoerotic friendships a canon queer experience? 🌈 Recording from their new studio in Nicaragua, Alix and Kayla dive into homoerotic WLW friendships—the kind that blur the line between “best friend” and “something more.” From red/green flag dating games to listener submissions about twin-bed cuddling, forehead kisses, shared Google Docs, and lifelong “what ifs,” this episode unpacks queer longing, closeted intimacy, and the friendships that change us forever.
