112. Understanding PDA & LGBTQ+ Challenges

In this episode, we explore Public Displays of Affection (PDA) from personal and societal perspectives. We start by discussing our own experiences with PDA growing up and how our views have changed over time.

Then, we focus on the challenges LGBTQ+ couples face when showing affection in public. A 2021 study reveals that these couples often face discrimination and violence, which can make them hesitant to express their love openly. We share stories of real-life attacks on LGBTQ+ couples, including incidents in London, Germany, and the US.
