Queer Love Stories
Growing up under the shadow of Section 28, I never thought love—or a full, authentic life—was possible for someone like me. Suppressing my true self until my late twenties, I found that love stories for people like us were rare—so I decided to create a space where they could thrive.
Dubbed the “THE gay Carrie Bradshaw of the 2020s,” I share my own dating highs and heartbreaks alongside real, heartfelt stories from the LGBTQ+ community. From romance and friendship to chosen family and self-love, Queer Love Stories celebrates the connections that define and inspire us.
Each episode offers moments of struggle but leaves you with hope, positivity, and the belief that love—queer, messy, and magical—is out there for everyone.
Let’s celebrate love—queerly and unapologetically.
