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.
Shoutouts:
Kris: Whoever designed the new USWNT jerseys for the olympics. This was a massive improvement from the paint stain, field day ones that may have contributed to our World Cup showing. The jerseys are available in most places you can buy jerseys and of course @Nike
