For this special Pride Month episode of Minoritea Report, we're joined by Tim Murray and Michael Henry, the hilarious duo behind OutTV's "Wish You Were Queer". From RV crashes and wild gator farms to navigating queer life in small-town America, we unpack it all—comedy, community, and chaos. We get deep on what it's like touring middle America as out gay men, how queer joy thrives in unexpected places, and how their show subverts expectations by showcasing authentic LGBTQ+ stories outside of the coasts. Plus, we play "Wish You Were Queer," our game where guests decide which celebs need to be on our team. Expect: naked beaches, foot pic scandals, favorite gay cities, chicken chases, Trixie Mattel cameos, and some jaw-dropping confessions from behind the scenes.
