Bad Queers
This podcast is for people who feel like they came out of the closet and got placed in a box. It’s time to put the u-haul theory to bed, and connect over being Bad Queers.
Join Kris and Shana, fellow Bad Queers, to discuss breaking stereotypes, owning your identity and their unpopular queer opinions. Bad Queers will leave you both offended and inspired by the news, stories and advice about the very fluid, very real LGBTQ+ experience.

It’s our 300th episode, and we’re celebrating with the iconic Crissle West as we talk podcasting, therapy, dating, her favorite Beyoncé album and songs, and one very necessary Bad Queer Opinion on the overuse of “partner.”
