The Case for Civil Marriage in Celibate Partnerships (A Side B Collective)

Josh and Joel continue the conversation from S2E12 | Joel on Sex and Porn. This episode was published on the Patreon page in May 2020.

After a year since the series finale, we are excited to announce that Life on Side B is resurrecting with a new cohost team. Josh sits down to talk with Remi who will be leading as the main host and producer about the vision for the new era of the podcast.

For S2E10, we asked a bunch of Side B LGBT+ Christians in multiple platforms to give us their weirdest and most interesting questions and critiques they have received. There was so much good content we received that we recorded this bonus episode to keep discussing it all.
