Validation Circle Jerk I Episode 263

This week on Bad Queers, we define pansexuality and explore the queer history of 18th-century molly-houses in Queer Urban Dictionary. In "Category Is," we get into Simone Biles vs. Riley Gaines and the ongoing fight for trans inclusion in sports, TS Madison educating NeNe Leakes on trans dating, and Doechii’s powerful moment at the BET Awards. Plus, we answer your "Am I A Bad Queer?" questions about dating app validation, saying no to tokenism, and summer queer crushes. In "Bad Queer Opinions" we have a community note around vegans at BBQs and being the single friend in a friend group.
