Dear Queer, episodes:

October 27, 2025 Season 2 Home Opener: Is baseball queer culture? One Blue Jays fan tries to convince us that it is
Welcome to season two of Dear Queer. We are coming to you on a Monday for a very special opening-season episode because, well, the Blue Jays are in the World Series, and apparently that's a big deal. This week, Marco, tries to convince us that yes, the Blue Jays are in fact queer culture and we do need to pay attention.
Todays topics include:
Bandwagons, superstition in sports, baseball and reality tv, pride nights, pink washing and more!
We're excited for a really fun season. We will have episodes coming out every other Thursday for the next three months, and we can't wait to be coming to your ears.
