    Jun 3 2026
    If women who loved women have always existed, why is their history so much harder to find?In this Pride Month special, we're exploring the stories of women who loved women across history and around the world. From Ancient Greece and the poetry of Sappho to the Golden Orchid Societies of Southern China, Anne Lister's coded diaries, Boston Marriages, and the literary salons of Paris, we'll uncover how women built relationships and communities long before the modern label "lesbian" existed.Then we'll turn to the United States to examine the women who helped shape LGBTQ+ history, including the Daughters of Bilitis, Stormé DeLarverie, the Lavender Menace, Audre Lorde, lesbian caregivers during the AIDS crisis, and activists Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon.Because lesbian history isn't just a history of love. It's a history of visibility, activism, community building, and showing up for one another.Topics discussed:Sappho and the origins of "lesbian" and "sapphic"Golden Orchid SocietiesAnne Lister and her coded diariesBoston MarriagesParisian lesbian cultureDaughters of BilitisStonewall and Stormé DeLarverieThe Lavender MenaceAudre LordeLesbians during the AIDS crisisDel Martin & Phyllis Lyon🏳️‍🌈 Happy Pride Month.

  • "What Are You?" The Sexualization and Desexualization of Asian People (An Office Hours Special)

    "What Are You?" The Sexualization and Desexualization of Asian People (An Office Hours Special)
    May 27 2026

    In this Office Hours episode for AAPI Heritage Month, we’re unpacking the sexualization and desexualization of Asian people, from the stereotype of the “submissive Asian woman” to why Asian men have historically been portrayed as less desirable in Western culture.

    We discuss where these stereotypes came from, how media and history shaped them, the impact of fetishization in dating culture, Filipino taxi dance halls in 1920s California, interracial dating panic, K-pop, anime, and why attraction is never socially neutral.

  • Study Break: Who Decides Gender Roles and Social Expectations?

    Study Break: Who Decides Gender Roles and Social Expectations?
    May 20 2026

    Why are boys told not to cry? Why are women expected to be nurturing? And who decides what masculinity and femininity are supposed to look like in the first place?

    In this Study Break episode, Cin and Asa unpack gender roles, social expectations, beauty standards, emotional expression, and the pressure people feel to perform masculinity and femininity in everyday life.

    This conversation explores how many of the “rules” around gender are socially learned, reinforced through culture, and rarely questioned until adulthood.

    A Broad Sex Education is an inclusive sex education podcast covering gender, sexuality, relationships, communication, and culture in a way that actually makes sense.
