It's official, Sappho invented Gay Panic.

In their seventh episode Em and Char react to some infamous Sappho translations, rant about their love for Zolita (what else is new) and discover that the famous Sappho may have been the first person to accurately describe gay panic in words. Yes, apparently ancient greeks did gay panic. It's sapphic, it's selacious, it's scandalous, and we wouldn't have it any other way.

Y'all Better Quiet Down for this Sapphic Herstory Quiz!

In their fifth episode, in honour of LGBT+ History Month, Char (who is a massive queer history nerd) quizzes Em on some canon lesbian and queer history and they unpack some of the trials and tribulations that faced those who paved the way for our community. The start of the title references the incredible Sylvia Rivera's speech at a Gay Pride Ralley in NYC. (NOTE: Sylvia was not a lesbian, but was a very inspirational queer woman who fought for the most marginalised in our community, so naturally she had to be mentioned in this episode).
