OutSpoken

Sam Collins & Studio71
The internet today is FILLED with bad comedians, outdated ideologies, hate speech, and good old misogyny repacked as a “hot take”. You can’t go anywhere online without running into it, and sometimes you just want to BREATHE. Welcome to Outspoken, hosted by Sam & Shannon. We’re a LGBT couple who have seen it all, been called it all, and are ready to take on the never-ending world of online opinions with a smile. Each week, we expose the most ridiculous takes on the internet as we tear apart the most confident idiots spreading hate online. Though, not everything has to be destroyed; we’ll also be sharing the positive side of the internet and the stories that make us proud to be a part of the LGBTQ+ community! The stories of hope, joy, and freedom that come with embracing inclusivity and openness.
