Vulva Hands I Episode 270

This week Kris breaks down fictosexuality (yes, being attracted to fictional characters is a whole identity), while Shana takes us back to the 80s with the iconic lesbian gesture known as vulva hands - because we continue to try and find a signal to show we are queer.

In Category Is, we’re talking about Trump’s new “Safe Roads” stunt that’s really just an excuse to erase rainbow crosswalks - including the one honoring lives lost at Pulse Nightclub. We also unpack the sapphic chaos of Tessa Thompson’s new film Hedda (love triangles and betrayal, that's all you need), and share updates on Lil Nas X’s hospitalization.

Then it’s time for Am I A Bad Queer? where we get into:

• Why first dates aren’t turning into second dates
• When your marriage convos about kids suddenly stop
• Setting boundaries around who gets added to your chosen family

Plus, our bad queer opinions, ally callouts, and shoutouts to Syd’s latest single and Preston Mitchum’s must-read work.
