She worked stage crew; they played basketball with the boys. Can I make it anymore obvious? When Janine laid eyes on Taylor at recess, she fell head over heels into her first ever, stomach-flipping girl crush. Taylor was totally oblivious so they became best friends, obviously. Then Taylor’s family moved away. They went to separate high schools and, after that, different colleges. That pretty much seemed like the end of it: another unrequited, unrealized, unconsummated middle school love story. But when Janine and Taylor both moved back to San Francisco after college, they decided to write themselves a new ending. Let’s go girls!

Anthony Hudson had no idea that white face paint, a pillow case, and a name—”Carla”—would lead to the manifestation of THE Carla Rossi, Portland’s premier drag clown. Carla Rossi became a hurricane force in Anthony’s life and a fiery furnace of creation. Anthony, on the other hand, became a chauffeur and a personal assistant to Carla’s rising star, which is just what happens when you are host to an immortal trickster spirit. Through more than a decade of multidisciplinary artistic works, Anthony and Carla negotiated split identity, stared privilege in the (white)face , and contemplated queerness.

Thom falls in love. The only problem is he’s already married. It doesn’t work out and, after separating from his husband, Thom moves to Denver and then to Portland, chasing men on Scruff. Then Thom meets Ray. Sometimes relationships move fast. Things click into place and start rolling and there’s all this unanticipated momentum, driving you forward. One minute you are meeting for the first time, maybe for coffee, maybe to hookup, and before you know it your lives are intertwined in ways you wouldn’t have previously thought possible. That’s how things were for Ray and Thom.
This episode is marked explicit for some adult language and frank discussion of sexuality.

The phrase “Chosen Family” has popped up a few times on this podcast already. For those of you who aren’t too familiar with this idea, don’t worry, it’s not complicated. Chosen family is the family that you choose. For queer people, chosen family is rooted in the experience of frequently needing to build long-term support networks that aren’t based in biological closeness. This sense of familial closeness in the LGBTQ communities arises from a shared experience of finding an understanding and acceptance in relative strangers that was lacking in our biological families. But sometimes…bio family can be chosen family too.

Making friends as an adult is notoriously difficult. Work and commitments to romantic partners and family tend to push making new friends down our list of priorities. On top of that, meeting new people is hard. Making a lasting connection is even harder. New relationships, including friendships, take work. You have to log hours together. You have to make getting to know that person a priority. And you have to have something in common that draws you together. Today, we have two stories of friends finding each other in adulthood.

School is a time of searching, of growth. It's a time when a lot of people, young people in particular, are figuring out who they are. Every young person feels alone sometimes, but for queers this feeling is underscored by the undeniable fact that you exist as a minority, often an invisible minority. And yet, and this truly amazing, even closeted queers, even queers who might not yet know that they are queer, have a tendency to find each other. We've got two stories for you today about queers meeting queers in the classroom. These are stories of queers finding each other against all odds and growing up together.

Malcom Gregory Scott met Dr. Doug Ward in 1994 as an HIV patient with Kaposi Sarcoma, a type of cancer that causes the telltale skin lesions associated with an untreated HIV infection. Their story is a story of perseverance, luck, and friendship, but it is also an oral history of a queer community at the deadliest moment of the United States' HIV epidemic. Together, Malcom and Doug share how the HIV epidemic brought them together as doctor and patient, and how they became lifelong friends.
