Coming Out Late Ep. #50: How Do You Know That You're Gay (Ft. YES!)
In this episode of the Coming Out Late podcast, Robin introduces you to two new friends of hers - Rebecca and Issy, the co-founders of YES!, via an episode of one of their very own podcasts. YES! is a nonprofit educational organization that provides sex-positive, intersectional, consent-based, sexuality education to people of ALL ages. Yes! stands for Your Empowered Sexuality. They offer anti-oppressive and shame-free educational programs using interactive workshops, social media, and other mediums - both virtually and in-person. And YES! has their own podcast too, called, What Is Sex?
So, why does Robin want you to listen to an episode of YES!’s podcast today? To get you familiar with this incredible non-profit, because the Co-Founders of YES! have accepted our invitation to be our guest speakers at the upcoming virtual Coming Out Late Speaker Summit on Wednesday evening, September 28 at 7pm EST. They are joining us on September 28th to talk with us about comphet, (compulsory-heterosexuality), a topic which affects us ALL in the LGBTQIA+ community.
In the meantime, Robin thought it would be fun for you to listen to one of their podcast episodes appropriately called, “How do you know that you’re gay?”, which originally aired in S2:E4 of What Is Sex?, on October 11, 2020.
In this episode of What Is Sex?, “How do you know that you’re gay?”, you will hear YES! Co-Founders Rebecca and Issy talk about . . .
- The question behind the question, “when do you first remember wondering if you are gay?”
- Did you ever think about women/girls romantically? If so, when?
- Why are feelings for women so different and confusing compared to feelings toward men?
- If I’m not feeling aroused from kissing a woman, am I allowed to still say I’m attracted to women? Is it maybe because I’m kissing straight girls/women?
- Gay Gossip; the Gay Straight Alliance (GSA).
