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.

Send us a textWelcome to our special Cowboy Carter review! We start off the episode discussing Jerrod Carmichael's new reality TV show and the awkwardness that ensues. We continue our predictions for the NCAA Women's Basketball - March Madness tournament (we are a South Carolina podcast) and a full review of the Elite 8 games and controversy surrounding LSU (I mean, Kim Mulkey). All of this happens before we welcome Joshua Mackey, Assistant Editor of INTO, for a deep dive on Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter album. We discuss the symbolism behind lyrics, behind the scenes, our unpopular opinions about the album and share our top 5-ish songs from the album.Shoutouts: Shana: IN THE LIFE Archive 2.0 - An oral history project archiving the stories of how Black Queer and Trans people lived and loved.
