130. Lavender Marriages & "Mixed Orientation Marriages"

130. Lavender Marriages & "Mixed Orientation Marriages"

Author: LGBTQ+ Podcast by Jojo & Dayra May 14, 2025 Duration: 45:51

We dive into our weekend celebration for Lilly's birthday (who's been on the podcast twice!) We then quickly chat about the encounter at Boston’s Liberty Hotel where a cisgender woman was asked to prove her gender in a bathroom, shedding light on the ongoing challenges of gender identity and public perception.

We also dive into the evolving concept of lavender marriages which was once used to hide LGBTQ+ identities and now transforming into modern mixed-orientation relationships. From Hollywood cover-ups to genuine soul connections like Samantha and Jacob’s, we explore why more people are embracing unconventional partnerships, the shifting meaning of gender in relationships, and how love is being redefined beyond labels.

& YES, WE ARE STILL GOING TO BALI & THAILAND!! Check the link below for more info.

Family Meeting: "I’ve been with my girl for 3 years. It’s been an awesome 3 years. The issue is that she wants to live outside the US for a few years and I don’t see that for me."

FOLLOW LES CHAT ON SOCIAL MEDIA: 


There's a particular kind of conversation that happens when you're among friends who truly get where you're coming from-raw, honest, and often hilarious. That's the space Les Chat Podcast-LGBTQ+-Lesbian Latinas creates. Hosted by Jojo and Dayra, a queer couple whose dynamic is as engaging as their insights, this podcast feels less like a formal show and more like pulling up a chair at their kitchen table. Their discussions are grounded in the specific, vibrant intersection of being both Latina and part of the LGBTQIA+ community, drawing from their own life experiences alongside those of friends and family who are either in the community or staunch allies. You'll hear them dive into the messy, beautiful, and complicated realities of relationships, sex, and dating, while also unpacking topics like labels, the reclamation of slurs, and breaking down stereotypes. It’s storytelling with a point of view, where personal anecdotes open up into broader conversations about identity and culture. Tuning into this podcast means getting a genuine, unfiltered look into a world that is often misunderstood, all delivered with the warmth and familiarity of a long-overdue chat with your favorite people.
