Our friend Leigh from the Lez Hang Out podcast joins us in discussing why Yellowjackets is the gayest show you’re not watching! From Shauna and Jackie’s *definitely gay* tension to Tai and Van’s ultimate trauma bond, this show is packed with queer energy, complex characters, and so much drama. We dive into the wildest moments, the undeniable LGBTQ+ representation, and even ask the important questions—like, does Shauna secretly have a Jackie-shaped vibrator? (Spoiler: probably.)

Join us as we unpack the intense dynamics, hilarious fan theories, and the ways Yellowjackets explores queerness in a way that's refreshingly real. Whether it’s Coach Ben’s heartbreaking journey or Van trying to save Tai one tree-makeout at a time, this show proves that representation matters. Plus, we can’t forget Shauna’s knife-to-throat-to-kiss moment. Certified girl kisser? Yes.

Who’s your pick for the Big Gay Energy Award? Is it Van for owning a video store with a pride flag? Shauna and Jackie for *literally everything*? Or maybe Misty for being lowkey obsessed with Natalie? Drop your thoughts in the comments—we love hearing your takes! 🏳️‍🌈

Don’t forget to hit subscribe for more LGBTQ+ media breakdowns, celebrate queer stories with us, and as always, hydrate for Lesbian Jesus. Let’s gay it up all over the place! 🌟 #YellowJackets #LGBTQMedia #QueerRepresentation
