Summary
In our most recent episode about Pride month, we referenced our interview with Captain Sandy from Below Deck Mediterranean and her wife Leah. Here it is! We had the pleasure to sit down and talk with the happily married couple about their unconventional love story and Sandy had a drop the mic moment when describing why she thinks gay love is sometimes received negatively. We’re all too focused on the sex part of the relationship rather than the love. It’s a fascinating conversation and a beautiful love story you won’t want to miss.
