Les Chat family is going to BALI!!!! This week's episode we started of with shout outs to those that book their spot for our group 2025 Bali trip! Then we jump into to some hypothetical couple questions from Therapyjeff's IG page. Would you stay with me if: 1. I changed my political affiliation to the other side? 2. I wanted to be physically intimate with you 50% less often? How about 75% less often? 3. I had to move somewhere 3000 miles away for a year, which meant we'd be in a long-distance relationship? 4. I changed my mind about having kids with you, wanting the opposite of what we originally planned. 5. I told you that I cheated on you once at the start of the relationship but never did it again because I felt horrible. 6. I either became devoutly religious or devoutly atheist. 7. I decided to stop using social media and get rid of my smartphone. In fact, I'm only going to use a dumb phone, and I need you to do the same, or I won't stay with you. 8. I decided to quit my job, take out a huge loan, go back to school, and pursue a PhD that would take five years to complete. 9. I wanted to become a social media influencer and podcaster, sharing personal stories that often come from our relationship and time together. 10. I became really good friends with someone you hated. Like your arch nemesis or something. Family Meeting: I'm in a relationship with a bi woman from Peru who has come out to her friends, colleagues and a small part of her family (siblings, cousins). Her parents, however, are very catholic and not supportive of the LGBTQ+ community. They think we are only friends. I'm okay with my gf not coming out to them, but since she has a close relationship with her parents, I don't know if our relationship should be a secret in the long-term. On the other hand, I'm afraid that revealing our relationship will bring hardships to her and destroy her relationship with her parents. Do you have any advice or experience with this? So I've been dating this girl for almost 2 years. Everything has been great except one little thing, sometimes girls grab her butt and she doesn't say anything because she said she's not the type of girl to talk back. Girls flirt with her & grab her collar shirt and she doesn't tell them anything because she doesn't want to be mean. I'm a baby gay and she's been out since she was 14 and currently she's 25 and I'm 22. She keeps mentioning marriage but I don't know what to do or how to feel because of those situations. I've tried talking to her but she just doesn't listen and ends up getting angry and shuts me down, I'm just scared to get hurt again I don't know what to do anymore… FOLLOW LES CHAT ON SOCIAL MEDIA/PATREON:  IG: https://www.instagram.com/les.chatpodcast/   TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@les.chatpodcast?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc  YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@leschatpodcast/  PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/leschatpod  Link tree: https://linktr.ee/leschat  Gender Neutral Boxers: Get 10% off with our code: LES10 https://www.luckyskivvies.com/ Les Chat Merch: https://leschat.bigcartel.com/  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/leschatpodcast/support

From exploring, eating and dancing to an unexpected event turned our trip into a rollercoaster ride – one of us ended up in the hospital, not once, but twice! As we talk about our highs and lows of our Medellin adventure, we delve into deep questions that would be perfect for first dates. Some of them were… Would you rather spend a day with your younger self or older self?  What advice would you impart to your 10-year-old self if given the chance?  And in the event of memory loss, what would be the first thing you'd say to help regain memories?

Rejection has always been the hardest pill for us all to swallow. It bears such a negative weight when we feel as though someone you show such interest in just doesn't share that same interest in return. We then find ourselves questioning what it is about us that could be wrong. But nothing is wrong with you!! Once we accept the fact that we aren't for everyone just like everyone isn't for us.. rejection becomes a lot less personal.  FAMILY MEETING: "Google Voicemail: I started dating a girl who talks bad about her friends.."

Curiosity is heavy during our teenage years because we're trying to find our identity. Those are the years where we are introduced to friendships, relationships, sex, and maybe even questioning our sexuality. As we get older we still learn how to navigate through all those things because no matter how old we are we still find ourselves searching for our identities as we continue to grow. - Is sexuality a spectrum? - Do you have to limit yourself to a label? - Is it because of growing up in a heteronormative society? Family meeting: 1. " I was with a guy/married for 10 years, came out as gay a year ago & left him. Since being out of that relationship, I have realized that he is a huge narcissist and emotionally abused me. He used to say I had saggy boobs to the point I had a breast reduction, big thighs, big arms, etc." 2. "I feel like I am being tested in my life/career. I just graduated with my masters degree & started a new job but I have never felt so lost and alone than I do right now."

What do you consider queer bating? In EP 94 we discuss queer baiting which is when someone uses the possibility of a queer relationship or queer representation to get audiences to watch a show/movie, etc... but they never actually follow through with it. We go into different examples (Karol G, Bad Bunny, Harry Styles, etc)  as well as the history on queer baiting in the 1940's-1960's with the “Lavender Scare”.
