7 podcasts that make you feel understood as a queer person

These podcasts not only provide a safe space for queer people but also make them feel validated and celebrated in their unique identities.

As a queer person, I have always wanted to be seen instead of hiding from others. I've wanted to flaunt my sexuality in the most beautiful way possible and queer media played a huge part in making me understand myself better and clearer. While watching movies about being gay or a show where a dysfunctional family faces difficulties accepting their kid, I found solace and tons of representation for me and my community. And the same goes for queer podcasts. These serve as a powerful medium for queer individuals to share their stories, experiences, and perspectives. By simply amplifying diverse voices, these podcasts create spaces of understanding, support, and empowerment.
