The early aughts tangents were stronger than us this week. This week features a proposed federal rule with sweeping implications for transgender people and other protected communities, New York City Hall’s first-ever Pride Ball celebrating ballroom culture, and highlights from this year’s Tony Awards.

In Am I A Bad Queer?, we’re talking dating outside your age range, when sleeping with your best friend gets complicated, and whether wanting another serious relationship after a long-term breakup is really moving too fast. Plus, Bad Queer Opinions on arguing with bots and where to spend your Pride dollars.
