2.08 When Your Friends Don't Like Your Partner

Bringing someone home to meet your parents is such a trope it's an entire genre of movie. But for many queer people there are two families to introduce to a partner: given and chosen. And sometimes the chosen family is scarier.

That's why this week on the podcast we have Autostraddle's own Yashwina Canter to talk about what happens when your friends don't like your partner or your partner doesn't like your friends. We get into Yash's own dating history and how she's navigated being on every side of this equation. And we talk about how all of us have navigated the challenge of our friends dating people. We even venture into some biphobia discourse and Drew tries to stir up some drama by asking if anyone has ever liked a friend's partner too much. We love some chaos!

We also begin with a truly inspired game of Hayley Kiyoko lyric or Rupi Kaur poem and end with three especially good crushes. To quote Tessa Thompson, Yash is single and ready to pringle so shoot your shot queers — just be prepared to pass the friend vibe test!
