Bad Queers Shana & Kris

We've got company! Imara Jones is back on the show after 4 years and filling us in on all her amazing accomplishments since we last spoke– including being named Time Mag's 100 Most Influential People in 2023.
 
But what we really get into with Imara is everything love and relationships. The current dating scene in New York, where she meets people, red and green flags, dating studs and MOCs, her blind spots, harmful stereotypes of trans women and why you should get yourself a nerd.

Some good news and good mess this week.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission strengthens protections for trans and nonbinary employees in American workplaces for the first time in 25 years. A new International Olympic Committee-sponsored study finds that trans women athletes are at a relative disadvantage in many key physical areas compared to their cis counterparts. We also circle back on the latest updates from the Ali Krieger/Ashlyn Harris/Sophia Bush saga and ask why the Chicago Sky couldn't get a Peerspace for their Angel Reese intro press conference. 

In Am I A Bad Queer, we discuss if you should seek dating advice from your friends in relationships and pride options for newly single folks.

For our Bad Queer Opinions,  Shana gets to the truth of the old studs vs new studs debate and Kris asks femmes to critique each other in public more frequently.

And always remember, the world is your boxed lunch.

We've got company! This week we welcome Preston Mitchum from Bravo TV's 'Summer House: Martha's Vineyard' to discuss what it was really like to be a Reality TV Star. We dive deep into the important conversations that happened on the show, Black gay representation on reality tv and relationships with production.
