Top o’ the mornin’ to ya, TiG cutie patooties! We’re here to say, “Invite the gays everywhere,” because we sure as hell know how to turn out a party!

In this episode, we cover unprecedented turnout of LGBTQ+ groups at last Sunday’s St. Patrick’s Day parade in Staten Island, public protests as Iowa becomes the first state in the nation to remove gender identity protections from their Civil Rights Code, and the iconic Compton’s Cafeteria gathering of activists to remember members from the community.

Keep your heads up and let’s remind our employees — these dusty politicians — to vote NO against transphobia!

This Tuesday, we’re celebrating the artistic value of Louisiana drag shows — as sexy as they are; Senegalese migrants stepping up to do the right thing and fight back against homophobia in Spain; and Washington State’s halt to Trumps’ order to defund trans-youth healthcare.

While there is a lot of good to focus on, it’s still ok to shed a tear once in a while. We’re with you through the ups and downs, and we’ll always step up and step in to protect each other.

It’s a new month and we’re starting off the first Monday of March with some updates… y’know, to keep y’all in the loop.

Canandaigua’s officials are working with community members to make the city safer for everyone in the wake of Sam Nodquist’s death; Trump’s military ban apparently can’t count because it’s (*Laverne Cox voice*) “focused on the wrong 1%.” LOVE to see two hated groups link up on the high seas.

March is gonna be a whole lotta Nay and Vico so y’all better brush up on your reading, your watching, and maybe get that Bad Bunny tattoo you’ve been thinking about… or is that just Vico?

With the assault of executive orders, news headlines and shock culture, it can be hard to discern where to focus our attention and who to trust when it comes to accurate information. The media and administration’s deliberate indoctrination is meant to keep our community ignorant and unable to advocate for ourselves; to fight back against a world built to be hostile towards us.

To combat this, Nay sat down with LA-based journalist Cerise Castle to talk unbiased news and how to consume it in difficult times, especially considering the way marginalized communities are written about and how policing of those communities aren’t. Spoiler alert: it’s anger. Stay mad, y’all.

The woke left is at it again, organizing… polycule D&D campaigns? While bigots continue to spend their energy on staying loud and wrong! Today, we’re celebrating more U.S. queers out and about, highlighting the allies in our government not backing down against Trump’s anti-trans sports agenda, and standing strong with LGBTQ+ folks in Texas ‘cause y’all aren’t alone!

On this episode, Nay got her Oprah moment, Vico’s tryna reach you Jay(!!!), and Khadija’s calling out the girlies with their nasty “harmless homophobes.”

We don’t know what’s going on with the stars y’all but mercury is in microbraids over here. Whether it’s disappointment, grief, or just general unrest, we’re making it through together. There are everyday people who never stop to make this world a more equitable place and we hope that reminder helps you just a little bit today.

On today’s episode, Vico’s screaming faggacini with their carabiner, Nay’s connecting with possibility models, and Khadija’s book recommendation gets us fired up!

Life is doing what life does, and we needed to take a breath today. Just like Vico always encourages us do. As we regroup, we are unlocking this previously paywalled interview. We have an exciting week planned for you all! More to come!

Earlier this month, Nay sat down with writer, producer, and filmmaker Michael Kennedy for an exclusive interview. Nay and Michael actually go way back and not to spoil anything but there are tears… Good ones, we promise. Nay and Michael talk about their history together, Michael’s career, and more. They also get into HEART EYES, the romantic horror movie that is in theaters NOW!

Calling all raving lesbians, screaming dykes & perverts — we’re causing a kerfuffle this Friday! Today, we’re honoring an English lesbian legend, hating on the losers who ousted Louisiana’s first out LGBTQ+ person elected to state government, and cheering on the protestors rallying next week in Cartagena.

Today is also our last day with Chanel (for now!!) and Nay’s trading places to teach Chanel and Vico some Ralphisms… and maybe save Vico from a pop quiz. Chanel, we love being your home!

Today, Nay’s doing a white woman check, Vico’s one of the apostles, and Chanel’s noticing a lil trend with rock climbers… 🩳👦🤴

This episode’s got piping hot queer history, disappointing news from the EEOC, and a win against that anti-gay bakery you might’ve heard about years ago (the courts are SLOW y’all). So flip on that hotel TV and pet an elderly dog today!
