Wait, Is This A Date?3 Aug 2022

2.06 Celebrity Crushes

Celebrity crushes mean more to queer people than they do to straight people. They can be our first expressions of queer desire or our first expressions of gender envy. They can be a safe place to try out urges that aren't ready for the real world.

That's why this week we're talking with writer and podcaster Jordan Crucchiola all about celebrity crushes. We talk about how celebrity thirsting feels inclusive to Jordan as a panromantic gray asexual person. We talk about how Drew thinks most of her celebrity crushes are kind of attainable. And, of course, we talk about the famous older women on Christina's water bottle.

But first! Christina quizzes Drew on a topic she knows little about — lesbian romance novels
