First person stories of queer coming of age. Gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans and genderqueer people. Love is complicated and for queer people, it's even more so. Queer love rarely resembles traditional romantic stories.
And while our representation is getting better, the lack of realistic queer adult love stories can make sorting through those complicated emotions and feelings a struggle. If a romantic bond eventually dissolves, we still see a reflection of ourselves in that other person; a recognition of all the struggle, bravery and honesty that it took to get to a place where we can admit that this is who I am and this is how I express love. This episode was edited, hosted and mixed by Ryan Weadon.

Every little bit helps. IG: Paperwombat. College is often the first opportunity to separate ourselves, both geographically and psychologically, from oppressive families or communities. It's a chance to examine stifled urges and investigate sidelined feelings in an environment that includes others seeking similar experiences.
When you combine this newfound sense of self with a bit of confidence and some good old fashioned young adult hormones, it's no wonder so many of us find ourselves falling in love for the first time at college. This episode is the first of a three part series about first love.
