On this week’s episode, Hosts jarrett hill and Tre’vell Anderson welcome writer Mikelle Street for a conversation about The Swirl, or interracial dating. They dig into what’s behind the “trend” of highly-visible Black queer celebrities who seemingly only go out with white partners, as well as how our upbringing influences our attitudes around interracial dating. They also get into some of the misconceptions of interracial dating that are projected onto queer interracial couples. But first, Tre’vell and jarrett respond to Abbott Elementary’s Tyler James Williams’ instagram post, in which the actor details why he thinks it’s dangerous when people try and guess whether someone is gay or not.
