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.

Bad Queer Opinions - should we continue to praise Billy Porter? And it's ok if you don't enjoy certain LGBTQ+ bars. Shoutouts: Kris: Whoever designed the new USWNT jerseys for the olympics.
