Transcript
00:00Can we talk about intimacy?
00:02Yeah.
00:03Okay.
00:04Let's do it.
00:08What if we made a movie entirely lesbian cast?
00:13Just picture it.
00:14The poster will say hot lesbian action.
00:17And then everyone's going to want to watch that.
00:20I'm Matthew Rodriguez.
00:21Join me and some of my friends.
00:23You're going to need to watch a step because we don't want you to experience the lake.
00:27Oh my gosh.
00:27As we travel for a series of very candid and real conversations about what it's like
00:33to be queer.
00:34We can get right into it if you want.
00:37Yeah, let's do it.
00:38Comedian, writer, and actor Tig Notar.
00:41I truly didn't understand why gay people wanted to get married.
00:45Oh, no, you're not the first to say that.
00:49So this is my first Mormon temple.
00:52Yes.
00:53We head to Utah and visit post-Mormon content creator Shea Scott.
00:57She can't really be transgender and Mormon.
00:59Like, it just doesn't work.
01:01Her transition has strengthened her marriage to wife Amanda.
01:04What was your sex life like before the transition?
01:09And did that evolve?
01:10I imagine it had.
01:11I think it's just better for both of us, honestly.
01:14Really?
01:15Yeah.
01:16Yeah.
01:16I did not think you were going to say that.
01:17Every single time people ask me, what does two-spirit mean?
01:20It's the question that I get the most.
01:22I had the same question.
01:23So we head north to Canada to learn about the often unacknowledged two-spirit identity
01:29with Kyron Potts.
01:31Queerness is traditional.
01:33My queerness is traditional.
01:34My queerness and my indigeneity go hand in hand.
01:37I do not separate them.
01:38These are not intersecting parts of my identity.
01:39They exist as one.
01:40And speaking of existing as one, we head to Colorado to meet Poet Laureate Andrea Gibson
01:46and their partner Meg.
01:48For the last six months, I've been struggling to breathe.
01:51I've had a chronic cough.
01:52I have tumors throughout my lungs.
01:54Andrea's years-long battle with cancer is just as tremendous as the love they share for
02:00each other.
02:01I definitely think we, in those, like, two years, and I didn't even think that this was
02:07possible, fell way harder in love than who we'd even been when we were first together.
02:12I could see how much I had been living my life guided by just f***ing f***ing f***ing.
02:19It's all this season on It's Okay to Ask Questions.
