Pride with Gilmore Girls: Decentering Heterosexuality in Gilmore Girls

This week Alexis and Suzanne have a surprise episode for Pride month. They start out with some fun ideas about how the characters of Gilmore Girls would participate (or not) in Pride events. Then, they get into a discussion about how heteronormativity limits what the show could be, how compulsory heterosexuality impacts characters, and how we can think about these things in our every day life. As trans rights continue to be under attack in the US and around the world, check out the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Trevor Project⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for a place to start supporting trans people.
