<![CDATA[Not Gay as in Happy]]> https://rss.com/podcasts/notgayasinhappy We’re Minerva (they/them) and Rhyvir (they/them), and this is our podcast where we discuss different ways of navigating relationships - from the platonic to the romantic and everything in between and outside of this binary. As a way of directly combatting capitalism, we actively question the societal norms and expectations of how we’re supposed to participate in our relationships with others and ourselves. We see and experience queerness as transcending both sexuality and gender, offering an alternative framework through which to view our existence. With that said, we’re not gay as in “happy,” but queer as in “fuck you.”

We wholly support the boycott and wanted to clarify that our example regarding people liking Starbucks was stated before the additional context of and call for the boycott.
