On today's episode:

1. If you’re on TikTok, you’ve probably seen “The Mafia Family'' by now. Known as “Lisa and Pope,” they are a couple that basically plays “accepting parents” so that LGBTQ+ kids, and their 7 million followers, feel less alone. Paper Magazine recently named them LGBTQ+ TikTok Trailblazers, but it all began when a follower asked the couple to adopt them. And just like that, a family of millions were born.

By creating this “Big Queer Family” on TikTok, Lisa and Pope are providing what many LGBTQ+ youth have been needing: love, acceptance, and the sense that someone is there for them. BuzzFeed’s Alexa Lisitza explains how this “Mafia Family” built a safe space for millions.
