What happens when weddings don’t feel like they’re for you? This week on HIGHKEY! Ben, Ryan, and Yvie get real about the complicated relationship queer folks can have with weddings—from family estrangement and cultural expectations to chosen family and fantasy ceremony dreams. They share personal stories of being the only Black or queer person in the room, the cost of proving legitimacy through marriage, and whether they even want to be married at all. Plus: Lizzo’s rap era, Drag Kings finally getting their shine, and a very nerdy love letter to James Baldwin.
