Summary

This month on Outward hosts Christina Cauterucci, Bryan Lowder, and New America’s Brandon Tensley explore how we learn to be queer. June Thomas joins in for a quick game about queer tropes and culture before the hosts discuss what being queer and embracing queer culture means, and their first experiences establishing their queer identities. Then Slate contributor Evan Urquhart and trans activist Andy Bowen sit down with Christina to think through what it means to be a trans person. Finally, they end the show by answering an advice question about presenting as bi, and of course a round of the gay agenda. This episode is brought to you by RXBar.

0:51.8	to tell me whether it was good or not.
0:54.0	That is epic, I love it.
0:55.0	But luckily this month we have everyone here in the DC studio together for the first time,
1:02.0	so y'all can tell me whether I did a good job or not after our
1:05.0	recording.
1:06.0	Everyone's so cute.
