Trigger warnings, politics and culture. Hate to start the episode this way, but we are 30+ days into the Trump Administration, and it's just mess. RIP to Sam Nordquist, the violence against the Trans community needs to end. Then we review Love is Blind season 8, A'Ja Wilson's shoe line, Super Bowl Halftime Show, and Shana attends Unrivaled.

In AIABQ? Shana and Kris fight to keep it together while giving advice on using lube, codependency and coming out journeys. Bad Queer opinions about sticking around for Love is Blind's incredibly small LGBTQ storyline and fighting back in politics.

Welcome to Black History Month! We’re kicking things off by asking the real questions—did we actually enjoy the Grammys? Did Beyoncé’s tour announcement revive us? Plus, we break down key headlines impacting the LGBTQ+ community and news to pay attention to. In 'Am I a Bad Queer?', Kris and Shana share advice on astrology ruling your relationship, unproblematic white queers, and the art of the soft launch. And in Bad Queer Opinions, we’re showing love to LGBTQ+ Divine Nine members and making a case for cuddling your queer friends.
