Let's be perfectly Queer Podcast

Send us a message

This week on Let’s be perfectly queer podcast we are talking about Queer imposter syndrome. Delving head first into how heteronormativity and internalised homophobia leaves some of us feeling inadequate in our queer lives. Addressing questions such as “can I be gay if I haven’t slept with someone of the same sex?” And “what makes you a good queer person?”
Listen in for some laughs, fun facts and a good dose of authenticity.
