Please note that by listening to this podcast you can send it to being shocked,

riled up and quite possibly appalled, but why stop now?

Welcome to Lyslips, I'm lockdown with me, George Porter.

And me, Samira Myty, we are your weekly dose of honesty giving you a fresh new take on the

stories of the week. This is extra lippy, the bonus episode, there's all about you.

Go, go, go! Listen to let a number one from anonymous, please call me Jess.

I absolutely love the episode with Archie and it prompted me to write in today.

I'm stuck at home with my parents as a lot of us are. We're not very close and they have no idea

about who I truly am. I won't say explicitly. I hope you can guess if this is similar to Archie's

letter, I would normally keep this a secret, but I'm really struggling to when we're seeing

each other all the time. Any tips for holding out until we're out of lockdown?

Archie is the guy. The drag queen.

I think he's gay.

So, please call me Jess. I reckon just maybe even if you're full-compton enough to speak to

your family about it so that you don't have to hold it in anymore.

Yeah, I mean, they might already know or have an inkling and if you just get the guts to say it,

you can have a lot more relaxed time with yourself.

Exactly.

You obviously got more pressure on yourself in an opp, a pressure situation locked down is

pressure anyway. So if you release some pressure, then you might, you never know, you might just

feel massive weight off your shoulders in lockdown.

Yeah, exactly. Yeah, that's what I could say about it as well.
