pride parade – The Bitching Hour

Episode 15. Gay Marriage

It’s our final Pride episode, and we’re sending you off with a proposal! This week, we’re talking all about gay marriage — what it means to us as queer people, the importance it has legally and logistically in LGBTQ+ lives, the role it has played in mainstream gay organizing, and the way it has overshadowed many, many other issues related to the health and safety of queer people.

Episode 14. Queer Futures

This week we have a lot of feelings (wow, something new and different for us) about growing up and growing old – we’re talking queer futures. When we were younger, we never could have imagined what gay young adulthood would look like, so what is it going to look like to become real adults? In our Main Brew, we’re grateful for queer role models in the media, the collective queer and trans history that came before us, and The Sims.

Episode 13. Self Care

In honor of Pride Month, we’re only using rainbow bath bombs. JK, we both like showers better anyways. This week, we’re talking self care, that pesky buzzword that we totally need but can’t always define. Join us to discuss self-soothing, doing chores, being luxurious, using gay spaces as self care, and needing self care after leaving gay spaces!

Episode 12. Pride

Happy Gay-lidays! It’s PRIDE Month, and we’re feeling AMAZING but also maybe … shameful? We’re kicking off June with a deep dive into our feelings about parades, party culture, capitalism, cops, straight allyship, cisnormativity, and queer spaces. So dust off your TD Bank free rainbow plastic sunglasses and get ready to march right past Stonewall – the site of a protest against racist, transphobic police brutality – with us!

… We promise this episode isn’t exclusively a sad critique of the state of gay organizing.
