This week in Queer Urban Dictionary, Kris explains the gender-inclusive pronoun per, while Shana celebrates the “ace of hearts.” Then we’re joined by comedian, host, producer, and professional catfish Tribble (Ellis Ever After, Ask Tribble Inc.) We get into the wild world of queer relationships, accountability panels, and why women need to chill when it comes to “dabbling in the dark arts" (aka straight women in queer experiences). Plus, Tribble gives us the tea on what’s missing (and what’s overdone) in podcasting, their approach to dating, and the myth that only studs and white women get to be the “cool lesbians.” Of course, we wrap up with Bad Queer Opinions and shoutouts — from a NatGeo docuseries on Hurricane Katrina to safe queer spaces like As You Are DC, and parties by Queer Aunties + Club Cleo.Shoutouts:Kris: Hurricane Katrina: Race Against Time - NatGeo docuseries series looks back at the lessons learned from the storm, and why we can't forget the tragic aspects that were man-made ahead of its 20th anniversary.

This week on Bad Queers, Kris teaches us “H&H” (high and horny) while Shana breaks down “homo fomo.” Then we’re joined by storyteller, filmmaker, and writer Amber J. Phillips known as Amber Abundance — aka your fave fat Black queer femme auntie from the Midwest. We catch up with Amber on everything from launching her Substack Toxic Femininity (yes, it’s giving Black femme scripture) to building Ample World. We get into Black queer femmes choosing desire instead of waiting to be chosen, why “straight-passing” is a trash term, and what it takes to silence the fed in your head. Plus: breakup dates are not closure, successful u-haulers are the exception not the rule, studs deserve a little more shade, and Amber has one very real Bad Queer Opinion about Ellie blocking our view of the tall WNBA girlies. As always, we close with shoutouts — including Tracee Ellis Ross’ new travel show, the Youth Trans Emergency Project, and love to everyone at Black Star Film Fest.Shoutouts: Kris: Solo Traveling with Tracee Ellis Ross - Tracee’s new travel show on Roku Channel.

This week Kris breaks down fictosexuality (yes, being attracted to fictional characters is a whole identity), while Shana takes us back to the 80s with the iconic lesbian gesture known as vulva hands - because we continue to try and find a signal to show we are queer.In Category Is, we’re talking about Trump’s new “Safe Roads” stunt that’s really just an excuse to erase rainbow crosswalks - including the one honoring lives lost at Pulse Nightclub.

This week on Bad Queers, Kris breaks down the Kinsey Scale while Shana explains the infamous “urge to merge” in Queer Urban Dictionary. We unpack the latest attempt to challenge marriage equality at the Supreme Court (and why it’s not time to panic), and discuss Sha’Carri Richardson’s domestic violence arrest and public apology. Shana also dives into the sapphic chaos of The Hunting Wives (Brittany Snow, we see you ), and in Am I A Bad Queer? we give advice on navigating non-monogamy, political red flags in relationships, and when anime love languages don’t translate. Plus: bad queer opinions, community shoutouts, and a reminder that dating apps might be overrated...maybe it’s time to go outside.Shoutouts: Kris: TBOY WRESTLING - A transmasc wrestling competition and performance art showcase currently touring the U.S. Follow them on IG @tboywrestlingShana: Trans Legal Clinic: Providing free and accessible legal help to trans and nonbinary in need.

While Shana and Kris are away, they wanted to make sure you had a podcast to check out. Our friends over at Lez Hangout Podcast are here and queer with a conversation with Kia Barnes (Kia Comedy!) who has also been on Bad Queers Podcast. We hope you enjoy, and we will see you next week! Welcome back to Lez Hang Out, the podcast that’s just a big vault full of gay thoughts locked deep in your brain.This week, Leigh (@lshfoster) hangs out with returning guest, stand-up comedian Kia Barnes (@kiacomedy), to talk about why Disney Pixar’s Inside Out 2 Should’ve Been Gay. Ellie (@elliebrigida) couldn’t make the recording, and she’s devastated to have missed it, especially since Inside Out 2 was the movie she and Bailey saw on their very first date.From the second Val glides onto the screen, it’s instant gay panic, from Riley and every emotion in her head. Whether it’s Anxiety (voiced by queer queen Maya Hawke), Envy (played by none other than Ayo Edebiri!), or Ennui (channeling the energy of a deeply disaffected gay French man), Riley’s internal world is working overtime. Add a suspiciously queer-coded coach to the mix (we’re pretty sure her wife is hidden in the background somewhere) and the gay subtext is basically screaming at us in every scene.Kia shares how deeply she related to Riley, as a baby gay who just wanted to impress the older, cooler butch girls. She even smoked a cigarette (as an asthmatic!!) to get a girl’s attention. Riley trying to fit in with the butch boys club? Been there.We also talk about how hard Disney tried to scrub the gay out… and failed spectacularly. From the queer-coded coach to the LGBTQ+ cast to the metaphorical coming-out arc hidden inside a vault, Inside Out 2 practically demands a rainbow overlay.And let’s not forget “Beardville”, Riley’s imaginary Mount Crushmore of forced heterosexuality, where she literally has to carve boys into stone so she doesn’t forget them. Subtle? Absolutely not. Accurate? Tragically, yes.Then there’s the “big dark secret” locked deep in Riley’s mental vault. It’s glowing purple, heavily guarded, and very clearly not ready to come out yet. We all know what it is (spoiler: it’s lesbianism), but we’d genuinely love to know what straight people think it is. We also break down the tension between Riley and Grace, whose jealous-ex energy is off the charts. Whether Riley’s feelings are mutual is still TBD, but that tension? So real.From baby gay chaos to closet metaphors and a whole lot of repressed sapphic energy, we know one thing for sure: Inside Out 2 Should’ve Been Gay.Share your Am I A Bad Queer? hereSupport the showPATREON: patreon.com/BadQueersPodcastSubscribe to our Youtube<a href='https:/
