Leftist Lezzies

Leftist Lezzies

Kelly Wise hosts Leftist Lezzies, a political podcast with a touch of neurospicy flair. Just a red state lesbian, from the South, broadcasting every Tuesday at 2 PM from the dumpster fire that is the Midwest, adding as much humor as she can muster. She addresses internet rumors and untruths, current events, and LGBTQ+ issues, framing everything from the perspective of addressing the same old, tired arguments heard every day. What makes her unique? Other than completely unfiltered quips, quirky humor, foul language, and a touch of passion and love for people, not too much. She does this because she cares about the United States and is disheartened at what we are all seeing occur each day. Feel free to tag along and laugh with her @leftistlezzies on TikTok and Instagram and Leftist Lezzies on Facebook.
