    Who kissed Denzel in Gladiator II? The answer might be lost to history, but we’re still talking about it. We discuss this deleted moment and then shift to the latest update on Nex Benedict’s case and the Title IX violations at Owasso Public Schools. Shana and Kris also share what’s currently on their watchlist and solve how Netflix can setup a queer Love Is Blind.

    Kris: Are We Allowed to Just Dream? is a new book published by David Adekoya of LadderBoyz that explores the impact Black footballers have had on the growth of the Beautiful Game and the wider throes of culture.

    Divided into five chapters — Beauty, Gift, Imagination, Action and Celebration — each section blends archival photography, art and design, mixed with poetic storytelling to celebrate the lives who’ve shaped football as we know it, as well as reveal the challenges that the Black community faces both on the pitch and in society. Follow on IG: @areweallowedtojustdream


    Shana: Book Trans Kids, Our Kids - Written by members of the Southern Equality Team, Trans Kids, Our Kids: Stories and resources from the frontlines of the movement for Transgender youth shares what they’ve learned helping trans youth and their families as a wave of anti-transgender laws has passed nationwide. It features stories of hope and resilience from trans youth, their families and the communities supporting them.

    This week, we’re applauding Black LGBTQ+ brilliance at the Grammys, catching up on Keke Palmer’s Ryan Murphy drama, and tuning into the NWSL playoffs and Women’s College Basketball as they ramp up

    In Bad Queer Opinions, we explore why DL women don't get the smoke they deserve and try to make sense of some seriously uncomfortable FAFO takes on IPOC Trump voters.

    Kris: I'm currently reading Flamboyants, it's been a great escape during this particular time and week (and place in history). Shana shouted George M. Johnson’s latest release out already but I want to shout it out again for highlighting just how Black and queer the Harlem Renaissance was.

    Order Flamboyants today from a Black bookstore.

We answer questions about families that are too supportive and going back to a partner after a break up.

    Someone needs to hit up Billie Eilish about her uncle at the cookout outfits and should the word “straight” get a rebrand?

  • It’s a news round up and it’s a mess. Missouri is now requiring proof of gender reassignment surgery for folks to update their IDs, Lowe’s is the most recent company to take back their LGBTQ+ support efforts, and Team LGBTQ+ is earning medals in the Paralympics.

    Am I a Bad Queer? Brought the range. We discussed loving long distance relationships and hating being together in person, queer themed weddings that make you feel like you aren’t queer enough and getting off dating apps. We wrap up our Bad Queer opinions calling in gay men and masculine presenting folks for a discussion.

  • In positive news: We've had a LOT of wins in the Olympics. We discuss Team LGBTQ+ and how our favorite sports (women's gymnastics, soccer, basketball, rugby and Coco Gauff) are performing so far. Couldn't ignore the political mess of Trump's interview during the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) conference and a recent study about adults coming out.

    In Am I a Bad Queer? questions ranged from late in life coming out to being gay and still misgendering folks. Bad Queer Opinions - should we continue to praise Billy Porter? And it's ok if you don't enjoy certain LGBTQ+ bars.
