Love is Blind is a whole mess (minus Brett and Tiffany) and we are Bad Queers for watching. Queer news updates around North Dakota's ban on trans youth in sports, California's bill that would force teachers to out trans students would not be heard and more than 40 professional athletes signed a letter condemning federal efforts to stop trans folks participation in sports. Healing energy from Brittney Griner announcing she is releasing a book next year and Young M.A. speaks on sobriety. What terms are genderless for you? Send us an email to let us know, or DM us!

Women's sports did the thing! Full review of the LSU vs. Iowa game and the clear racial tones in reaction to LSU winning the NCAA Women's Basketball Championship. Spotify only uses 10% of their 100M diversity fund. Tennessee's drag ban has been temporarily blocked. When is too soon to date new additions to friend groups? And are we Bad Queers for discussing Love is Blind?

Whew. Lil Nas X and comedian Sampson struggled to read the room this week. If you had to get a tattoo that let everyone know you're a lesbian, what would you get?  More positive  LGBTQ+ news amongst the mess this week. We dig into Nebraska Sen. Machaela Cavanaugh's 3 week filibuster, Michigan adding LGBTQ+ protections in their discrimination law, and a study on the positive outcomes for children of same sex parents.

Making sense of the senseless. We comb through another week of anti-LGBTQ+ legislation. In brighter news, Minnesota shows up for trans youth in a major way. The wait is over, Kris and Shana give a full recap of Harlem season 2. In AIABQ? we chat about homophobic siblings and moving on from a toxic long distance relationship. Also, what's the best way to pay homage to our older generations of studs?

Clearly, the NAACP Image awards do not get the kudos they deserve. Ahn-Ja-lah (Angela) Bassett and Davis did the thing. Congratulations to Zaya Wade for legalizing her gender and name change. Do you feel overwhelmed by all the anti-trans bills? You're not a Bad Queer for feeling that way. Last but not least, go ahead and cancel that New York Times subscription.
