Republicans OUTRAGED! Bud Light's latest marketing ploy featuring trans TikTok star Dylan Mulvaney has the conservative working class up in arms. But is it really just a case of 'Go woke, go broke'? We break down the phenomenon of 'Rainbow Capitalism' and why it's got some people pouring out their cans (or shooting them, yep, really).

How important are BIPOC-specific spaces within the larger queer community, and should white people be allowed in? We explore the benefits of BIPOC-specific spaces, while also addressing critiques that label them as "segregationist". We also examine the role of white allies in these spaces, highlighting both the potential for positive support and the recurring mistakes that can occur. We also discuss the alarming trend of disappearing queer spaces, particularly those dedicated to marginalized members of the community, and explore ways we can support the creation and sustainability of these spaces. Join us in this provocative podcast as we delve into the nuances of creating safe and supportive spaces for marginalized communities.

Internalized homophobia is something that many of us in the LGBTQ+ community have to work through in order to fully embrace our true selves. For some, it may be a quiet voice in the back of their minds telling them that being queer is wrong or shameful. For others, it may manifest as a fear of rejection by loved ones or society. In this episode, we share personal experiences, tackle internalized homophobia and offer tips to help you overcome negative thoughts that hold you back from embracing your fabulous, audacious queerness. Enjoy!

Our society's self-esteem is being destroyed by gender norms that dictate what it means to be "masculine" or "feminine," starting from our earliest moments of life. These norms have a profound impact on our perception of self, particularly regarding body image and sexual identity. We delve into the Male and Female Gaze and their contribution to perpetuating harmful stereotypes, exploring the detrimental effects on our mental health and wellbeing, and examine ways to combat these destructive gender norms and promote a more inclusive and accepting society.

We discuss why Gen Z is more accepting and open to queer identities than any generation before them, exploring the three main reasons for this shift.

Our conversation delves into the nuances of queer representation and acceptance, and we share personal experiences and observations that have informed our perspectives. Tune in to hear our thoughts on why Gen Z is gayer than ever, the future of queer acceptance, and building diverse communities.

The Republican Party is attempting to target and arrest LGBTQ+ individuals, with over 419 anti-LGBTQ+ bills currently being tracked by the ACLU. 15 US state legislatures have introduced bills banning gender-affirming care for trans youth and drag performances. We'll use Tennessee's bills as a case study as they're similar to others. These bills go against our values of equality and freedom, and it's time to fight back against this bigotry and discrimination. Join us to demand change for our LGBTQ+ community.
