This week on Queernundrum, Holly brings a little sparkle — and a little fire — to the mic with a roundup of major LGBTQ+ news:
• The Trump administration proposes cutting LGBTQ+ services from the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — what that means for our communities.
• JoJo Siwa’s big "I'm so queer" moment on Celebrity Big Brother UK — and the pop culture fallout.
• Demi Lovato throws a fabulous LGBTQ+ celebration at the opening of The Tryst in Puerto Vallarta.
Meanwhile, Gary shines a spotlight on the incomparable George Takei — Star Trek legend, outspoken activist, and all-around queer icon. From sci-fi to social justice, we dive into what makes him a lasting hero for generations.
⚡ Also! A little housekeeping: Queernundrum is now coming to you bi-weekly — every two weeks — so make sure you're subscribed to catch all the fabulousness.
Listen in for the laughs, the rage, and the celebration — it’s all part of the Queernundrum. 🌈🎙️

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
