Not Gay as in Happy

By: minerva esperanza & rhyvir moonheart
  • Summary

  • 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 Are Cringe, but We Are Free
    Apr 9 2024

    In our introductory episode, we share some insight about and stories from our longtime platonic relationship over a game of We're Not Really Strangers (friendship edition).

    Please note that we recorded this in September 2023, prior to the events of October 7 and the long-standing and ongoing genocide of Palestinians, which prompted a boycott of Starbucks. 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.
