Happy Pride Month everyone! To close off this years pride month, Lucy and Juliet are discussing the intricacies of Rainbow Washing and what it can mean for our community. Whilst some members of the community are happy to see the rainbow flag flying high above businesses, others believe it is a shameful display or capitalising on our lives. There is a lot to cover this week, so get yourself strapped in and lets get going!

Join Juliet and Lucy this week as they dive into their very first Dykey-Dilemma! This week we hope to explore one listener's query of whether the label of Lesbian is inclusive of non binary genders. Listen as we explore alternative labels such as Gynesexual (It's not what you think) and our personal journeys of using this label.

The girls drive into the topic of why us Lezzas have such an urge to remain friends with past flings and Ex’s. Lucy and Juliet consider whether this is an accurate stereotype of Lesbians, discuss their own Ex friendship stories, as well as why it might be a good or poor choice to keep your ex in your life. Can it ever work? Let’s find out.

This is Dykelemmas, the show where we talk about all things dykey. We're Juliet and Lucy, best friends and two femme London lesbians just trying to make sense of the dyke world around them. Welcome to our world, where your new girlfriend is your ex's ex, finding a masc that likes you back is harder than resisting the urge to U-haul and the only lesbian bar is full of failed talking stages. So get strapped in for a gay old time.

If you're in the lesbian or sapphic world, there is one cold hard fact we all know; Sapphic heartbreak sucks! But is it really any worse than heartbreak for other sexualities? Why does it hurt so much? How can we overcome it and see heartbreak as an opportunity for growth?
