We are talking all things polyamory with our special guests Small World Collective! This episode is the best how it started vs. how it's going.

The queen has arrived. Shelli Nicole joined us this week for Bad Queers. You've definitely read her amazing works in Autostraddle, Marie Claire and more (and if you haven't, you should!). We covered so many topics, but high key summary includes pop culture, writing gems for black LGBTQ+ people, "those" white queers and what would be on our sex playlist. This episode is sponsore...

It's big switch appreciation week (not really, but it should be!)! Baby Gay celebrities are taking over in the best ways. Who invited The Weeknd to the Superbowl? Can't say that we are surprised but Lovecraft Country and all LGBTQ+/Black films deserve better than these Not So Golden Globe nominations. At least the NAACP did a bit better. Also, are you a straight chaser? Shoutouts: Shana...

This week's category is: LGBTQ+ Celebrity Relationships, Reddit and an update on Shana's dating life (her feelings about this are clear in the episode). Elliot Page, Evan Rachel Wood and Niecy Nash are just a few that we explore. SNL's Pete Davidson and John Krasinski kiss was cringy and what we think about the phrase "you're too pretty to be gay".  Shoutouts: Shana -...

Let's get loud about our predictions for the election. Honestly, we called it. From Lady Gaga to Kamala Harris to J-Lo's setlist. Unfortunately, snitch Mitch and Trump make an appearance too. Banning conversion therapy in Kentucky, trans youth rights in Montana and how LGBTQ+ meme pages need more diversity. And Kris tries to get Shana in her feelings around dating.  Shoutouts: Shana - Un...

We are back from #vagaytion and honestly...we leave for one week and shit goes down. You know we are talking about the #NoFlyList shenanigans, lesbians holding their conservative families accountable and Bridgerton. Am I a bad queer?

Shoutouts: Shana - This is potentially the only shoutout that 2020 will get. Shoutout to those who were able to find themselves, come o...

This week on Bad Queers we had special guest Maxxx Pleasure to talk all about the life of a drag king.

Shoutouts: Shana - thems health , an amazing page on IG whos mission is wellbeing beyond the binary Kris - HauteButch is a queer black ow...

28% of the LGBTQ+ Community voted for Trump. Let that sink in. Nobody asked Candace Owens for her opinion on Harry Styles wearing a dress, but here we are. Studs can wear makeup, he/him lesbians are not a thing and who would Kris begrudgingly hang out with on The L Word? Shoutouts: Shana - Lucky Skivvies ( @luckyskivvies ) The most comfortable gender neutral boxer briefs, ever. Kris - Show & T...

Shoutouts: Shana - Matt Bernstein @mattxiv has absolutely incredible content, is the white queer ally we need - also...

Congrats to Sue Bird and Megan Rapinoe on their engagement. Lil Nas X did that during Halloween. Who says your queer best friend can't be the background on your phone? Exes do not deserve to be your friend. And Taiwan is the only place handling COVID right, with their Pride Celebrations! *BAD HAIR SPOILER* 15:17 - 27:24 Shoutouts: Shana - Gaby Dunn (Road? Both?) for all of their live reads of...

Fully in preparation mode for this election. Also realized Shana meant to talk about Tiffany Trump, not Ivanka, for the Pride rally. But don't care about either of them, so whatevs. Defining Intersex and Gender-Expansive. Niecy Nash coming to daytime television? And, did you catch the Coochie Quarantine? All this and more for your listening pleasure. Shoutouts This Week: Shana - Voters. Barac...

Read that title again. Sue Bird is dropping facts about the differences between women's soccer and basketball, Jaden and Willow Smith speak out about being excluded by the black community and we finally talk about Ratched in all it's glory.  Advice around having friends who support Trump and our Bad Queer opinions about using pronouns and Michael K. Williams (honestly not even a bad opin...

Honestly breeders, straight tv/movies/media is to blame for our queerness. Rest in power to Monica Roberts, a genuine shoutout to Pete Buttigieg and Bill Burr's SNL skit was actually hilarious. Also, fake girlfriends, wives who are fuckboi's and giving phone numbers to straight men.  Shoutouts This Week: Shana - Sue Bird for her fourth WNBA Championship Kris - Lebron James for his fourth...

In case you hadn't guessed, queer is no longer a slur. This week we give advice around age gaps, making a playlist for your ex and hitting on someone you don't know is queer.

This week we had Imara Jones from Translash Media join us, and believe us when we tell you she dropped GEMS on us! So many that we couldn't even choose a title that was worthy. We explored how cis women need to do better when it comes to the trans community, blocking our blessings and the all black lives matter movement. And that is just a sprinkle of what you will get from this weeks podcast...

Barbados continues to woo us (well, sort of). Brittani Nichols and Issa Rae have a queer show coming. Mara Brock Akil and Girlfriends get their flowers- while Kris asks the universe (specifically Mara Brock Akil and Lena Waithe ) to make a Girlfriends for us black queer womxn. Shana challenges queer womxn to use their big clit energy to shoot your shot. You can be a social top sometimes. Shoutouts...
