Episode Summary
In this solo episode, Sam sits with something that doesn’t get talked about enough during Pride Month – grief. For queer people who’ve come out of religious environments, the celebrations of June can sit alongside a very specific kind of loss, and Sam reflects honestly on that tension: the way communal joy can sometimes make private grief and sorrow louder, and why those two things don’t cancel each other out. It’s a gentle but unflinching episode that makes space for the complexity of being somewhere in between; mourning what was taken from you while also finding your way toward who you actually are.
