Hosted by New York City-based comedians Carolyn Bergier & Melody Kamali, Dyking Out is a podcast about lesbian / queer life, news, and pop culture. Each week, Carolyn and Melody invite a special guest (comedians, musicians, actors, crushes) to dyke out with them about a topic that's relevant to the LGBTQIA world. But really, it's just another way to advance the gay agenda.

episode 134: Fluidity w/ Mae Martin
Pride month is here! We wouldn't be where we are today if it wasn't for the brave Black and Brown trans women who rioted against police brutality. That brutality maybe have eased for the queer community (it's definitely still there), but as many of you know, it never let up for the Black communities in our country. There's no better way to celebrate pride than by participating in the fight for justice. There are many ways to get involved, and there is no excuse for sitting silent on the sidelines. Let's work together and make real, lasting change. #BlackLivesMatter
Comedian/Writer/Actor and all-around queer darling Mae Martin joins us to dyke out about fluidity this week. You all know Mae from their show Feel Good (stream it on Netflix, Channel 4) and hilarious comedy. They often talk about gender and sexuality on stage, so we loved having the chance to dive in deeper into that conversation. We talk about the value of labels and how things are changing over time. Please stream Feel Good and check out Mae's book Can Everyone Please Calm Down.
