Bad Queers

This week in queer news, in a landmark verdict, a man was charged with a federal hate crime for killing Dime Doe, a Black trans woman in South Carolina. Ron DeSatan tries to distance himself from his OWN book-banning laws. In "What About the Kids?!" news, Texas passes on a $450 million summer lunch program for low-income families. Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor criticized “The Color Purple” for “sanitizing” lesbian romance–opening up a lane for Kris to NOT watch the new movie. Gaslighting and audacity team up for episodes 7-9 of Love is Blind, and we recap the madness.

In Am I A Bad Queer, we get an update on a previous story. Plus, does it make sense to share an apartment building with your ex to co-parent your pet?

This week in category is we review Beyoncé's Superbowl, Usher's performance and that's really the main focus. Mo'Nique gave a tell all interview and how 30% of adult Gen-Z identifies as queer. In Am I a Bad Queer? We respond to questions about "reverse racism" in dating, shifting from long distance to living together and not going to church weddings. Bad Queer opinions discuss how to get the straights to disagree with the anti-trans/LGBTQ+ laws and minding your business.

If you weren't on Tik Tok, you may have missed the Queer Bar Drama that happened at the Cubbyhole with a straight woman, straight man and a lesbian - it's as messy as it sounds. We discuss our reactions to The Grammy Awards and all of the changes happening during WNBA Free Agency. In 'Am I a Bad Queer?' we discuss the use of baby/boo as flirting, Aunties being safe spaces and not wanting to celebrate Valentine's Day due to trauma.

Kris: Exterminate All The Brutes - 2021 4 part documentary directed by Raoul Peck (I Am Not Your Negro). It explores the exploitive and genocidal aspect of European colonialism, from America to Africa, and its effects today. I’d encourage anyone who hasn’t seen it to take the time to watch it. It’s dark but very insightful and powerful to watch. You can stream it on Max, YouTube, AppleTV and Google Play. 

We’ll leave the series page in the description: https://www.hbo.com/exterminate-all-the-brutes

Covering it all in this episode. The Biden administration invests almost $700k in sex education for trans male youth. The Abbey's disturbing allegations have finally caught up with the infamous WeHo club. And the Oscars wouldn't be the Oscars if they didn't snub anyone– we talk nominations and controversy over who was left out.   

In Am I A Bad Queer, we question the timing of "cis" being considered a slur. Is there any personal responsibility for staying with someone who cheated on you four times?  Plus, how to avoid hanging out with your coworkers during your off hours.

The thought journeys continue in Bad Queer Opinions as Shana breaks down WNBA free agency and Kris makes a case for gossiping being genderless.

Lil Nas X dropped his latest video for his single "J Christ" and we have...thoughts. Awards season continues as we recap the Critic's Choice and Emmy awards. In good news,  discuss a new study on how aunts, tias, and aunt-like figures support LGBTQ+ youth.

How can you tell if your friend(s) are hitting on you? How do you keep things casual with a friend you're attracted to but don't want to mess up the friends and more in Am I A Bad Queer.
 
In Bad Queer Opinions, Shana asks if bottoms can take care of tops and Kris shares some critical "community notes."

For the second year in a row, Angela Bassett did the thing. This time with Regina King.

This week, we circle back to Katt Williams' interview and the fallout from  Claudine Gay's resignation from Harvard and the emerging anti-DEI culture war. In politics, trans youth in Louisiana are suing the state over their ban on gender-affirming care. 

In Am I A Bad Queer, we talk friends with benefits vs. dating apps (and the limitations of vibrators) and if having an LGBTQ+ family member you respect prevents you from being homo/transphobic.

 Are lesbians who intentionally try to "turn" straight women a service to the community or problematic? Is Lil Nas X the most disrespected young superstar of all time? We answer in Bad Queer opinions.

We're back from holiday break to discuss the wild start to the year. Shana shares a glowing review of The Color Purple. In the most predictable story of the year, sometimesy-Christian, Boosie, throws a tantrum over a lesbian scene in The Color Purple and gets packed up by TS Madison. Dave Chappelle continues to destroy his own legacy in his latest "comedy" special. Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper NYE hosting only makes us miss Don Lemon.  In politics, Iowa’s “Don’t Say Gay” Law has been blocked by a federal judge in another big LGBTQ+ rights win. USA Boxing introduces new strict guidelines for trans boxers.

In Bad Queer opinions, Shana swears off themed parties and Kris gives an apology to the DVD community.

From trolling Moms for Liberty to staging walk outs over anti-trans policies, the kids are alright. We breakdown the timeline of what has been happening with Angel Reese and how folks are showing out as a result. The Soul Train Awards showed how progressive they were to de-gender an award to celebrate Janelle Monáe's accomplishments. AIABQ shares some bad queer opinions around gay bars and circling back on a missed connection. Allies...you don't need your own flag and it's time to hold gay men accountable.

October was an especially violent month for our Black trans and GNC family. Rest in absolute peace to Skylar Harrison, A'neé Roberson, Chyna Long, Dominic Dupree, Lisa Love, and London Price.

In slightly better news, the "lesser evil" party picked up some key election day W's. The NWSL season is drawing to an entertaining close as college women's hoops got off to an entertaining opening week.

Does being a "gentlewoman" perpetuate toxic male stereotypes? How to stop being a scapegoat for a friend's bad behavior and navigating the (still) toxic sports industry all in AIABQ.

The global attack on LGBTQ people continues in Alabama, as pharmacies are refusing to refill trans kids’ prescriptions despite gender-affirming care being legal.  Mass arrests of queer Nigerians continue without proper investigations. In AIABQ, we explore trans men in lesbian spaces and how to deal with friends who ignore red flags when dating.
Shana gives an altar call to fellow Law & Order SVU queers and Kris shares what she thinks was missed in the Jada/Will media frenzy.

It was a huge week for women's sports. Congratulations to the Las Vegas Aces on their back to back championship win. Ali Krieger and Ashlyn Harris are getting divorced, breaking the hearts of all queer sports fans. Congrats to Che Flores coming out as the first trans and nonbinary referee. In AIABQ? we discuss Dylan Mulvaney, moving on from queer best friends and whether iPhone users could date someone with an android. Bad queer opinions - we want Gen-Z to loosen up.
