Zack and Haley are outraged by the murder of George Floyd (and many, many others), and will not remain silent. BLACK LIVES MATTER. Today, we discuss The Stonewall Riots, an important milestone in LGBTQ history. Bricks were thrown, property was damaged, and change was made. In support of Black Lives Matter, we draw parallels between this historical event and the current protests going on across the U.S.

We talk with our friend, comedy writer Josh Smooha (twitter.com/joshsmooha), all about breakups, and specifically how the advice straight men are usually given is so toxic. We chat about what happens when someone isn't taught how to use certain emotional tools when dealing with this sort of stress, and how that can cause some people to lash out. Plus we talk about how Rom Coms might be a bit at fault here, and what tropes need to be thrown out.

Zack and Haley chat about how queer people sometimes miss out on the stereotypical high school experience and end up acting out those experiences later in different ways. To do that we sit down with one of Zack's best high school friends, writer and podcaster Laura Ansill (instagram.com/blueoystercvlt).

What is it about certain straight celebrities that elevates them to queer icon status? We love our Judy Garlands, our Golden Girls, our Britney Spears...es. Zack and Haley chat with comedian and writer Drew Droege about this phenomenon as well as his iconic performances as Chloe Sevigny and members of The Golden Girls. We talk about the double edge sword of lifting these people up, auditioning for roles as a gay man in Hollywood, and much much more!
