Moving into a house with 8 strangers for a reality TV show, Keke had to come out to not only his roommates — but the entire world. Up until that point, only a handful of people knew Keke was gay.

They're Just Not That Into You

Room For Us ·

2022/02/07

Why is it so hard for us to admit when someone just *isn't* that into us? On this ep, your girls gossip about that strange, fun, but wildly confusing time when you first start seeing someone. It can be so hard to know if someone is into you — and so EASY to make excuses for why they're being distant. We dive into all our theories for why that is. Plus, the added layers of confusion for queer people as they navigate new relationships (especially with people who aren't completely confident

Room For Us ·

2022/01/17

Below Her Mouth is a controversial movie in the queer community. Some hate it, some love it, and some hate to love it. On this episode, we watch the film together LIVE and then talk about it. We dive into the INTENSE sex scenes (they don't hold *anything* back in this movie) and the chemistry between the lead actors, Erika Linder and Natalie Krill.

Room For Us ·

2022/01/03

New year, same gay sh*t. We're kicking off 2022 with a topic we've been wanting to slice into for a while now (pun intended): scissoring. For far too long, scissoring has been the punch line of a million not-funny jokes. So, is it even a thing? Do all lesbians scissor? Do lesbians *only* scissor? We break it all down, plus other gay sex myths that need to be debunked, like yesterday. Come along for the ride as we say the word "penetration" about 100 times. Sorry, mom's! Got a

Are All Girls a Little Gay?

Room For Us ·

2021/11/29

Girl crush? Bromance? What does it all mean? And why can't people who identify as the same gender just be affectionate with each other...because they want to be? On this episode, we break down the age-old adage "all girls are a little gay." We talk about the differences between how women and men show each other love, and how female relationships (friendships or romantic) are rarely taken seriously by society. Plus, how can we teach boys and girls (but especially boys) that they can be

The Beauty of Being Bi

Room For Us ·

2021/11/08

Fun fact: over half of all queer people in the US identify as bisexual. So why is the B in LGBTQIA+ still such a hard thing for people to grasp — for straight and queer people? On this episode, we were inspired by an AMAZING mailbag from a bi listener in Indonesia! After years of exploring her sexuality and proudly identifying as a bisexual woman, she's now in the process of navigating her relationship with her lovely fiancé, who identifies as male.
