Stay ConnectedThis podcast is for people who feel like they came out of the closet and got placed in a box. It’s time to put the u-haul theory to bed, and connect over being Bad Queers.
Join Kris and Shana, fellow Bad Queers, to discuss breaking stereotypes, owning your identity and their unpopular queer opinions. Bad Queers will leave you both offended and inspired by the news, stories and advice about the very fluid, very real LGBTQ+ experience.

Black women and queer people at the Olympics DID THAT! Give them all the flowers. Obviously, we must discuss DaCryBaby and Matt Damon for their casual homophobia. Our guesses for the new season of The L Word.r And you won't want to miss Kris sharing her Bad Queer Marriage advice and the name of her gang, the Crying Studs.

The Beyhive swarmed Trick Daddy, for all the right reasons. Carl Nassib came out...but have you heard of Sha'Carri Richardson and Kumi Yokoyama? The real MVPs. Guess who is going on a lesbian road trip? Queer cougars are coming out of the woodwork thanks to Niecy Nash and Jessica Betts. Give visibility to bisexual studs (aka BUDS).

Burger King has entered the ring for the annual battle against Chick Fil A. All the emotions for the Pose finale. The intersex symbol is added to the Pride flag. Honoring the 5th Anniversary of Pulse. Rainbow capitalism has gone too far. And of course, our Bad Queer opinions!
Shoutouts:
Shana - Kelanna Spiller - Comedian I came across on the Tik Tok. Has hilarious LGBTQ content, but just great content in general on both YouTube and her IG page.
Kris - Sam Jay - Pause with Sam Jay on HBO Max is brilliant. Last week’s episode, Let Freedom Freak, had great conversations about personal freedoms, especially when it comes to sex and sexuality.
