Bad Queers

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.

We explore their journey creating the new asexuality pride flag, the conversation and controversy that followed, what people still get wrong about the ace spectrum, and how they're expanding our understanding of intimacy and community.
