Hello, I'm Shannon Beveridge and welcome to The Alphabet Club, a queer storytelling podcast where every other week I'll curate a personal essay by someone in our community.

Stories about desire, heartbreak, gender, sex, friendship, family, and becoming.

After the reading, we sit with it together, we talk about what it brings up, what it reflects

back to us, and why queer stories just hit different.

This week's essay is called The Gaborbers and is written by Amelia Montuth.

Amelia is producer, content creator, strategist, and CEO of Mutuals Media.

She's behind the hit show Gaydar with Anania, which I love.

evolution when blanketed by a network of queer support and chosen beauty of self-discovery and evolution when
