Made It Out Media
About this episode

They say the best ships are friendships... But what about queers that can sail the sea? Wait, what? Anyway - Lexi Dussi joins Mal this week to talk about her journey to finding a queer community, starting from the dark days of lying to her straight friends about where she was, to becoming fully integrated in a queer friend group she couldn't have dreamt up. This episode answers some of our most frequently asked questions - how do I make queer friends? How do I navigate being in the same friend group as my ex? Where can I find community? Why do gay people only hang out with other gay people? Tune in to find out!

Follow our guest Lexi @lexidussi and please remember to subscribe, rate, review and share this episode with a straight friend to remind them that you still love them.
