Bad Queers

This 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 from the HER App 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.

Kris - To @lottidot on Twitter for creating a new Black Holiday. Supposedly, according to Twitter commenters on this thread, on Dec. 21st all people with melanin are supposed to get some sort of super powers because of the rare alignment of Jupiter and Saturn in the night sky for the first time in almost 400 years. It honestly doesn’t matter if it happens, it’s going to be a fun day online. We have to take our good days.

After facing casting backlash, Rub & Tug commits to a trans lead for the role of Dante “Tex” Gill.

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 mucher/carpet munching go - the phrase not the act.
