Hey y'all.

Hi.

Welcome to Coming Out with Lauren and Nicole. We are a weekly podcast where we have queer folks on from all walks of life.

They tell us the tales of how they came out to friends, family, and the world at large.

Because who doesn't love a coming out story?

Yes, and in an effort to be very expansive about what a coming out story is in this day

and age, we have Michelle hi with us. Hello, Michelle. Hello, hello. Thanks for having me on. Thank you. Thanks for coming on.

Michelle is a non-monogamy advocate. And as you have heard us saying if you if you've listened to any

recent episodes, we've spoken several times about not just the queering of sexual orientation, the queering of gender, but also

the queering of relationships. And non-monogamy is a hot topic that way right now. So we wanted

to have Michelle on. I'm sorry, you suddenly sounded like somebody's mom. You're like, oh, we get it's a hot topic. I do. I slide like into that sometimes. You are somebody's mom now. It's just like, I'm seeing it happen live before my eyes. And it's like, it's fascinating. It's like, what's the 4-1-1? Oh, my God, right? Exactly.

Michelle, thank you for coming on.

Would you care to say a little bit about yourself and what you do?

Yeah.

So, Michelle, she heard pronouns.

I run the Instagram, polyamorous while Asian, and I started it off as a sort of blog and a sort of place to just share my thoughts on nominogamy and politics or anything else. And I was fully expecting it to maybe just be a

sort of finsta, just to kind of regurgitate my thoughts. But then apparently it seemed to like

resonate with people. And so here I am now like talking about

non-monogamy and social justice and politics on a pretty regular basis.

And it has nothing to do with like my educational background.

Like I went to school for applied linguistics.

Don't really do anything
