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.

This week we are joined by the amazing hosts of Gayish Podcast, Mike and Kyle, to continue our discussion about intersectionality. We did this with a slight twist, by asking questions that Shana and Kris typically receive as black, queer women and flipping it to ask white, gay men. Spoiler alert: we had a blast.

Alright, not Bette Porter, but her doppleganger Kamala Harris is officially the Democratic Nominee for Vice President. And when we weren't discussing this, Zoe Kravitz called out Hulu's diversity problem, the WNBA continues to make moves in athlete protests and period leave is becoming a thing. Bad Queer opinions around lesbians and gays being bullies to bisexual people and bro culture needs to be cancelled. All this and more in this weeks episode!

Unpopular Queer Opinion: Pose literally deserves SO MUCH more, but attacking Billy Porter won't help. We break down pronouns, steamy dreams about exes and both the Emmy's and GLAAD awards.

Remember, your ex is trash that needs to stay on the curb, don't bring that back in your house. In other news, Barbados and Mexico are winning, I guess Taylor Swift dropped an album...and studs/MOC folks deserve a genderless clothing line. That and more in this weeks episode.

After facing casting backlash, Rub & Tug commits to a trans lead for the role of Dante “Tex” Gill. The Pentagon bans Confederate flags from all military bases then cancels the progressive step by banning the Pride flag. The workplace culture at The Ellen DeGeneres show is exposed. We explain why/how communication, patience, and possibly the neck is the way to free your touch-me-not studsband. And we gotta let carpet muncher/carpet munching go - the phrase not the act.
Shoutouts This Week:

All Boys Aren't Blue is an incredible memoir-manifesto about the black LGBTQ+ experience. Shana and Kris had the opportunity to have a socially distanced talk with George about the book, leading with love and how everyone is actually a vers in our Bad Queer Opinions.

Halle Berry shows us what accountability culture can look like. Cis white gays and Just Karen Rowling are at it again, signing cancel culture petitions and partying on Fire Island during a pandemic - seriously stop it. Bisexual, black, Batwoman. Finding the right LGBTQ+ label, polyamorous gone monogamous and Bad Queer Opinions that might be talking to you if you played softball and drive a Subaru.

It's time to talk about intimate partner violence. Also, when you find out your friend is a TERF, it's time to breakup with them. Rest in Power Brayla Stone, cities are signing petitions to recognize Marsha P. Johnson and my best friend is dating someone else and I'm jealous? And if you didn't read the title, WATCH DISCLOSURE! All this and holding BET accountable in this weeks episode.

Seriously, to the gays partying in the streets without masks - Stop it. Put on your gotdamn mask and listen to this episode of Bad Queers. Praise be, The Chi is back, DACA is being protected and Raven Symoné got married in all her rainbow braided glory. Lots of advice from coming out as bisexual when in a straight appearing relationship, and a woman who identifies as asexual feeling over sexualized. Lastly, with no surprise, the "Chad's" of the world are at it again in this episode of Bad Queers.

What's in a deadname? Or do you even know the meaning of it? This week we dive into the surprising supreme court ruling for LGBTQ+ discrimination at work, #VogueChallenge and someone who needs advice about why they don't want to date within their race. And what type of Bad Queers would we be if our unpopular queer opinion didn't have an update with Chick Fil A or how trash the white celebrity ally video was.
