Ethan Philbrick, Finding Community Through Music and Queer Divorce Culture

In this episode, Tera had the privilege of chatting with the talented Ethan Philbrick, a cellist, artist, and writer. Ethan shares his own heartfelt divorce story and sheds light on his inspiring initiative, The Gay Divorcees, a musical platform created to honor the narratives of queer divorcees.

Together, we explore the culture surrounding queer divorce and the significance of its relatively short history in our country. Delving into the importance of this history, we reflect on its impact on divorcees and the expectations they may face when choosing to separate.

Join us as we celebrate the power of making the choice to get divorced, and the transformative effect it can have on shaping dynamic individuals.
