This is an I-Heart podcast.

Hey, this is Annie.

And Samantha.

And welcome to Steph on Evertold You, a production of IHeart Radio.

And welcome to An edition of Monday many for this one I would suggest checking out our recent Monday many on compulsory heterosexuality or compette because this is kind of a

companion piece to that episode.

We're not going to get too in depth about it, but we're just going to mention things like

sexual assault and depression, things like that. But today we are talking about internalized

homophobia, which is related. I did mention it in that comp pet episode.

And this is one of those things where I imagine most listeners know what internalized homophobia is,

but I figured I would do a quick rundown on it, since I'm seeing a lot about it online right now.

And sometimes folks are mixing it up with compette and or heteronormitivity.

They're all related, but they are different from each other.

We also kind of saw this in action at our end of the year,

Smenti meeting, where somebody bought up compulsory heterosexuality without

us mentioning it.

And it became a topic of conversation.

I was like, yes, we just did an episode on it.

A few times in live where we were like, yeah, we just did an episode of that, actually a lot of times.

Sometimes, you know, maybe we're not trendy in terms of wearing suede, but sometimes I feel like we are ahead of the curve and what becomes a conversation topic.

But yes, right now that is a big topic of conversation.
