Whether it was Danny Phantom and Zuko, Nick Jonas and Chris Evans, or even the underwear section at Macy’s, we were all awakened somehow. In this episode, Mel and Kevin talk about their gay (and “straight”) awakenings and how this may or may not have influenced their perspectives later in life.

Growing up Catholic as a queer individual presents several challenges and gives way to toxic mindsets such as “pray the gay away.” In this episode, we discuss what it was like being raised in a Roman Catholic household, how our experiences may differ from attending a private, Catholic school versus a secular school, and where we currently stand in our religious beliefs and practices. ***TW: DISCUSSIONS REGARDING HOMOPHOBIA INTRO | "Shine" by LiQWYD - Watch: https://youtu.be/OYLel_pCexU / License: https://www.liqwydmusic.com/how-to-use / Download: https://hypeddit.com/liqwyd/shine OUTRO | "Happier" by LiQWYD - Watch: https://youtu.be/d4wLmSDTruw / License: https://www.liqwydmusic.com/how-to-use / Download: https://hypeddit.com/link/id3fh8 --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/theqapodcast/support
