Qweird

Sandwiched right in here between the pandemic and protests is Pride. Sure most events have been cancelled or postponed, but some have gone virtual. We know, it seems a little gross to celebrate Pride right now, but remember Pride is about protest. We've got loads of events and ideas on how you can celebrate your LGBTQ+ identity in ways that support Black Lives Matter. We even mention a few dance parties, because every activist needs a way to blow off steam. 

S&L: How to Enact Change and Be a Better Ally This Pride Month, Here's How You Can Celebrate Pride Virtually, Gay bars targeted, #LadyG, Queerean drag, Javier Muñoz, Lambda Literary Does Pride, Good Gay News, Lady G's ladybugs, anti-racism training.

Sure there is much to love about love, but what is there to love about loss of love? Let me tell you, not much. But it isn't ALL bad. Breakups are tough, and heartbreak is almost always inevitable, but so is growth and change.. and maybe even a hot-girl summer. Join us as we discuss our 'loss of love' language, and the good that has come from the heartbreaks along the way. After all, the pot of gold is always at the END of the rainbow.

"They" say love is the universal language. Then somebody comes along and says there are five love languages. Then some otherbody comes along and adds another three. For a universal language, it sure is complicated. Join Nicole, who is perfect, and Yvie, who is most definitely not, as we find out our primary language of the universal language - even though we all know that it's cheese.

S&L: @beboutit, Ferdian Paleka is garbage, Germany, Amazon, Aimee Stephens story, Aimee Stephens GoFundMe, South Korea Henrietta Hudson GoFundMe, expanded love languages, love language quiz, queer eye guys.

Sometimes we do really dumb things for love like sacrifice ourselves like virgins to the volcano gods. Other times, we have the charisma of a serial killer and charm our partner into making the sacrifice.  But is it healthy? We have all the answers to this mind-bending question and more in this artsy-fartsy convo!  

S&L: Daddy at the Vati, Charmaine McGuffey for Sheriff, How to cut your own hair in queerantine, Lesbian drive-in wedding, Brazil, Fiddleheads drag queens.

We just haaaad to drop this episode fashionably late, after all, we aaaaare queer and no self-respecting queen would be caught on time for a party!!! What - this isn't a party, it's a podcast? We are soooooo embarrassed! How about we make it up to you with a fun conversation about lgbtq+ stereotypes - what they are, why they are, and why they're problematic. See, we knew you'd forgive us since qweirdos are generally such a forgiving crowd ;)

S&L: Trump discrimination, lesbian chickens, busted by Grindr, Mr. Rogers, rainbow symbolism, Andy Cohen.

They were extravagant and grotesque. They were decadent and inspired. They were hideous and beautiful. They were Club Kids: a coterie of queer, gender fluid, artists and misfits who created culture and community out of a shared trauma. Then it all came crashing down when that one guy who never knows when the party is over became a complete monster. Don't be that guy.

***TW***This episode contains discussions of violence, drug abuse, and murder. 

Listen up, sheeple! JFK was assassinated by the cabal -> Yvie's best friend growing up had the initials JFK -> she has been to Dallas, Texas = she is part of the deep state. Nicole loves Twilight -> Twilight is set in Washington -> Bill Gates lives in Washington = she is part of agenda 21. NY are part of the cabal -> this podcast can be spread via 5G networks -> they were both born in a century that began with 19 = this podcast caused COVID 19. But all is not lost! Since you've already been exposed, your body is naturally immune!* It's a miracle!

*This and all other claims made by NY are dubious and should be taken with a spoonful of sugar.

**Don't do meth. Ew!

They say truth is stranger than fiction. We say reality TV is stranger than truth, and you know that we're right about that because duh, and like, who are THEY anyway? Besides, we're kind of the experts here as the born-again reality TV faithfuls we've anointed ourselves as. We love the messy, grotesque, and the scripted. We love it all, well, except for the duck people - ew!
