In this episode of the Pod-Tone 292 series “Fake Names, Real Love,” host Natalie Goldberg interviews “Jamie,” a Columbia College sophomore, about being outed to her conservative Catholic parents during her first relationship with a woman. She describes the imbalance of desire within her relationship, the extreme reaction that her parents had after finding out she was a lesbian, and her take on dating while closeted versus out. In listening to Jamie’s story, we take a deep dive into how wanting versus being wanted plays a significant role in lesbian sex and relationship dynamics, and the emotional turmoil that unsupportive parents can cause. This episode was produced by Matthew Schwitzer with music by Obi Okoli.
