This Pride Month hits different. Between rising political tensions, safety concerns, and the growing weight of being “out” in public, the usual rainbow-filled celebration feels… complicated.
In this special bonus episode, Jess and Ryan reflect on the precarity of Pride in 2025 - from the therapy room to the broader cultural moment. We revisit themes like rainbow-washing, being the “quiet gay,” intersectionality, and the emotional toll of it all.
It’s real, it’s messy, and it’s probably what your therapist has been thinking too ❤️
