## Resource

🎙️ But I’m a Lesbian Two lesbians. Two mics. Endless hot takes. This week we’re talking about Saving Face! This is a queer rom-com that gave us surprise age-gap relationships, secret girlfriends, and a geriatric pregnancy! We get into Wil’s double life, Vivian’s swoon-worthy confidence, and the layered pressure of family, tradition, and cultural expectations. Don’t miss our “Literary Lesbians” segment, in which we discuss TWO short story collections (Lavender Speculation by Jamie Zaccaria and Little Book of Quickies by Ro Smith)! Authors can be found on TikTok as @jamierosegold and @robeingro. 📲 New episodes weekly. See you next Tuesday! Next week, we will be heading to 18th century France for Portrait of a Lady on Fire, available on HBO Max! But I’m a Lesbian is hosted and produced by Katlynn Beatty and Angelina Herrera. Production and Mixing by Victoria Shifflett. Creative direction and video editing provided by Juanita Iriarte. Music by Stiletto Falsetto. Do you need some sapphic advice?
