  • the straightification of jojo siwa

    JoJo Siwa is back on the front burner of media attention, this time, not because of another lesbian scandal or chaotic music video, but because of a…rumored boyfriend? After appearing on Celebrity Big Brother, JoJo now faces cheating allegations. She changed her label to queer, broke up with her partner, and is rumored to be dating fellow contestant, Chris Hughes. And the straights seem to be delighted.

    This week, Hailey digs into the whole controversy and explores why the gays are mad and why the straights couldn’t be happier about this "new Joelle."

  • sapphic "it" girls: taylor swift & clara bow, a century apart

    Taylor Swift released “Clara Bow” as the final song on her latest album’s anthology, The Tortured Poet’s Department. From a brief google search, you can learn that Clara Bow was a Hollywood megastar, known as the original “it girl” during the champagne-drenched golden era of the 1920s. But, Clara Bow was also a bisexual icon… that part is often erased by the history books. Is this the larger reason as to why Taylor uses Clara as inspiration? Does Taylor see herself as a Clara Bow reincarnated? Hailey digs into the life, career, & queerness of Clara Bow, and highlights the eerily similar connections between the modern it girl's (Taylor Swift) art and life to the original it girl's (Clara Bow).

  • "gay for paige": how the wnba keeps out-gaying itself

    This week, Hailey spirals into the sapphic sports obsession that is Paige Bueckers, Azzi Fudd, and the WNBA. From those edits making straight teen girls question their sexuality, to seasoned lesbians realizing these two teammates are more than just friends, Hailey unpacks why queer women everywhere are down bad—and why watching one WNBA game can ruin your life (in the best way).


    In this episode, Hailey digs into the queer culture of women's basketball, the (wlw) internet's impact on the game, and how viewership has skyrocketed with the rise of star players like Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, Kate Martin, Paige Bueckers, & Azzi Fudd.

  • is zoë kravitz the real muse of midnights & ttpd?

    Swifties widely accept the idea that the muses of Midnights and TTPD are Joe Alwyn & Matty Healy respectively. Hailey explores the controversial theory that these assumptions are all wrong. What if the songs about London actually reference Taylor Swift's "friend" Zoë Kravitz, who spent COVID quarantined in London with Taylor? And what if all the lyrics about a tattooed cinephile drug user, are actually about Zoë, who matches that description as well?This week, Hailey analyzes the lyrics and the entire timeline of Taylor & Zoë's friendship to get to the truth.

  • gaylor state of the union ft. sidney!

    It's time for us to come together for the Gaylor State of the Union.

    What is the state of Gaylor? After the Superbowl, Taylor Swift has had minimal appearances. She hasn't posted an Instagram post since the last night of the Eras Tour, she's only had 2 pap pics (neither showing her face) and she rejected the invite to show up at the I Heart Radio Music Awards. Is Taylor Swift ghosting the fans??

    Hailey calls the Gaylor State of the Union along with this week's guest, Sidney Baker-Green, to gather our community and make some sense out of the Taylor Swift content drought. They talk about what her I Heart video acceptance speech could mean, give their predictions on what album is next, and chat about the current state of the Gaylor community.

    On the heels of the latest Love Is Blind season, the internet is buzzing about the impact of social issues (specifically LGBTQ+ rights) on reality TV relationships. The controversies beg the questions: What is break-up worthy when it comes to politics? How are queer conversations and contestants treated on dating shows? Who was wrong: Sara or Ben? And what kind of representation does the LGBTQ+ community want on TV?


    Hailey answers all those questions and more on this week's episode. She digs into queer representation on The Bachelor Franchise, Love Is Blind, The Ultimatum, I Kissed A Girl, and more.

  • pop girlie culture has a little problem

    The girlies TOOK OVER pop music the last couple of years and arguably, the Summer of 2024 was for the girls. With the Barbie movie still lingering, the Eras Tour in full swing, and Brat Summer fully taking over, feminism seemed like it was at an all time high. But did we have a real cultural shift, or was it just for show? Does Pop Girlie Culture have a little problem... of racism?

    Hailey questions the real impact of the pop girlie takeover, and digs into the racism and misogyny that seems to have resurfaced after Beyonce took home Album of the Year at the 2025 Grammys.
