Straights in gay bars discourse, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo obsession era, Taylor Jenkins Reid owns us af

Welcome to season 2 of The Lavender Menace!We kicked off the second season of the podcast on Instagram live (@renaissancemarie @sunnywithacamera)! Starting off with hot takes as usual, a listener named Robin submitted a wonderful email about their straight sister going to gay bars but also being homophobic...? And we talk about how irritating it is to have people encroach on spaces not for them. Also Renaissance is currently grappling with a The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid hyperfixation so we discuss that at length, particularly in relation to our ongoing Taylor Swift obsession. Sunny recently also read and recommends Taylor Jenkins Reid's most recent book Malibu Rising and talks about the crossovers within these books. Along with the novel Malibu Rising, Sunny also recommends the sapphic fantasy A Curse of Roses by Diana Pinguicha to Renaissance, and Renaissance recommends the lesbian rom-com Imagine Me and You (2005). Follow us on Twitter @thelavenderpod for updates and email us your hot take submission to be featured on the pod at [email protected]!We are launching a Patreon with exclusive content and patron input on content we consume and discuss for the podcast soon as well, so keep your eyes peeled for that! :)
