New Year, Queer Power & Community: Peppermint and Hugh’s Thoughts on 2026
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
New year, fresh vibes, same big conversations — but with hope, glitter, and a little more wiggle room.
Hugh and I chat about power, belonging, and what happens when queer folks stop waiting for a seat at the table and just build a better party.
Yes, we talk history. Yes, we talk growth. But mostly we’re talking about finding your people, making room for each other, and stepping into the new year knowing we’re stronger (and cuter) together.
Rolling into this next chapter with community, curiosity, and a whole lot of optimism.
Cheers to what’s coming. Wishing you all a very happy and healthy new year.
