Summary
You've read the title of this episode, and you're already furious. "AUNTIES?!" you scream. "They are NOT straight!!" Well first of all calm down — you are contributing to the crisis of political polarization in this country, and it's not a cute look. And second of all, maybe hear out our illustrious guest Rachel Pegram before getting your gender-neutral Pride-edition Skims in a twist! Questions include: How does the online behavior of aunties remind us of our shared humanity? Who is the most powerful auntie in America? Plus: George is jumping on the toxic positivity bandwagon, Sam is undecided about the virtues of Vermont, and Rachel is speaking out against the natural pool movement!
