This week on the podcast, we revive the iconic acronym “TWID” (The Woman I’m Dating) and dig into the reclaimed ballroom term “Bricks,” honoring its complex roots and modern meaning. In 'Category is', we react to the Supreme Court’s frustrating move to uphold the trans military ban, recognize our Hunger Games transition by discussing the Black dandyism theme of the 2025 Met Gala, and talk WNBA season hype, including A’Ja Wilson’s sold-out sneaker drop. We address your Am I A Bad Queer? questions—from dodging chaotic straight friends at Pride to finessing free drinks at the straight clubs. And in Bad Queer Opinions, Kris unpacks the tension behind the Met Gala’s record-breaking $31M and Shana throws shade at Jeremy Pope’s cosplay fit.
