About this episode

Caroline Dunphy shares her essay about the complexities of gay awakenings during childhood.

This week’s essay is called, “Oh God, I’m a Whore” and is written by Caroline Dunphy. This essay centers around the often-awkward, often-inconvenient, and often-unexpected circumstances of our gay awakenings. In this case, as a sugar-riddled pre-teen at a sleepover watching the movie Dodgeball. Caroline is an emmy-winning Executive Producer. She’s worked with Trevor Noah, Stephen Colbert, Jodan Klepper, Samantha Bee; she built the video originals slate at Crooked Media from the ground up, and is currently building YouTube’s first late-night show, Outside Tonight with Julian Shapiro-Barnum.
