Extra queer is the bonus episode that follows each of the main episodes Of Queer Revelations. After sitting down with the Simone I reflect on being authentically you minus the bullshit and with all of the baggage. It’s hard to be an individual and uniquely who you are in the 21st-century, but then again it’s really easy too. Take a leap of faith with me and stay queer x
