This week on Bad Queers, we welcome Kevin Ortega-Rojas, the unapologetic host of Here’s Why With Kevin and co-host of BYLATINMEN. Kevin’s got hot takes on everything from hating lesbian bars (yes, you heard that right) to why straight actors playing gay roles isn’t a big deal. We dive into his media journey, growing up queer, and what it’s like curating content in the age of misinformation.
