Gaylor evidence, But I'm A Cheerleader (dir. Jamie Babbit, 1999), high femme blondes

Welcome to episode 5 of season 4! Sunnaissance is still in St. Louis, so catch all our unabridged video content on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/TheLavenderMenace and follow us on social media (@thelavendermenacepodcast basically everywhere) to keep up with our comings and goings. Anyways! On this episode, we bring forth a listener email submitted hot take that argues that a lot of the backlash to fans calling Taylor Swift gay is rooted in homophobia and misogyny, which we totally agree with!!! We go through an extensive list of gaylor evidence, including referencing The Archers podcast and this article: https://ew.com/music/2019/05/13/taylor-swift-pop-culture-obsessions/ before breaking down our love of the campy teen movie "But I'm A Cheerleader," a lesbian comedy featuring Natasha Lyonne starring as the main character. forced to go to a gay conversion therapy camp for teens. Finally, Sunny recommends the recently released literary fiction book "Just By Looking At Him" by Ryan O'Connell, and Renaissance recommends the St. Vincent movie "The Nowhere Inn" (2020). Email us your hottakes to possibly be featured in a future episode!! thelavendermenacepodcast@gmail.com

Om Podcasten

Two overly online nonbinary lesbian communists of color (with gaylor tendencies) spew their opinions on pop culture and media via a three part comedy variety show: first, a discussion of a listener submitted hot take. Second, analyzing a piece of media we've both consumed together. And third, recommending books/movies/TV/music/etc. to each other. Renaissance is the film stan twitter user, and Sunny is the booktuber. We think we are hilarious and have the correct opinions, and we hope you can agree!
