"I have a Queery about...Queerness" ft. ATI

"What does Queer mean?" "Is it your gender?" "Is it your sexuality?" "Is it neither?" "I thought I was gay, but am I Queer?"

On this episode, I'm joined by my dear friend and "once upon a time" prom date, ATI (she/her, they/them), who is a New York City based actor who identifies as queer. Ati's journey, like many others who identify as queer, started with exploring the spectrum of her sexuality. Do I like girls? Do I like boys? Do I like both? How should I act? Why do I have to pick and choose? She didn't feel compelled to put herself in any sort of box or under any label which is when she was introduced to the word and identity of being queer. We discuss what the word Queer means in today's context: how has it evolved? What does it mean to different people? How can I get in touch with my queerness? We'll answer "queeries" such as these and so many more. Dang that's a lot of Queer, but you asked for it ;)
