Summary

Dana Scully, causing the lesbian rate to skyrocket since 1993. This week, Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with Ashley Ray (@theashleyray), Black, bisexual and polyamorous tv writer, comedian, and host of the podcast TV, I Say w/ Ashley Ray to talk about the science fiction television classic, The X-Files. If watching 9 seasons of Gillian Anderson strutting around in power suits was your gay awakening or bonus points, you have a tattoo of Gillian Anderson’s face on your leg, you’re in the right place. This quintessential #scifi show is about fun loving lesbian Dana Scully and her twink best friend, nonbinary icon Fox Mulder, solving alien mysteries together at the FBI. We talk about Leigh and Ashley’s shared childhood experience of watching a super scary 'monster of the week' episode at way too young an age and blur 9 seasons of episodes into a mishmash of memories while trying to explain the plot to Ellie. Of course, because it is the #90s, the writers are convinced that Scully and Mulder are straight and give them that ‘will they, won’t they' dynamic that just drives the heteros wild. Even after they finally get together, get married, and have a child, they continue to have zero chemistry. But that’s okay, because there are other people to ship with Scully, like the controversial Monica Reyes. We know one thing for sure, The X-Files Should’ve Been Gay. Follow along on Twitter: Lez Hang Out (@lezhangoutpod) and answer our Q & Gay at the end of every episode. Leigh Holmes Foster (@lshfoster) and Ellie Brigida (@elliebrigida).
