Join your hosts Erik G. and Will as we all try to untangle the ways LGBTQIA+ literature and media are problematic. No matter which way it crosses the queerness intersection, we'll be looking both ways and figuring it out as we go.

Enjoy another one of our scintillating conversations where we discuss..... something or other. Truth be told I never remember what I write before a deadline, just that it's good enough.

    It's Black History Month, so to celebrate I'm publishing this episode at 11:59 PM on February 28th. Finally, it's time to get back and finish our two part episodes on the original L Word. For our Black History night cap, we're talking episode 109, "Listen Up". Bette and Tina are taking up group parenting classes with a multiracial cast of upper-middle class people. While Bette and Tina are separately trying to ease the tension between them as Tina prepares to carry their child, Bette is confronted by a single dark-skinned Black woman for using her paper-bag pass to advance in her career. Bette is forced to navigate her blackness and her queerness in a brand new way, maybe learning where the two intersect and engaging more with the parts of herself she tries to hide.... or maybe she gives up entirely on Group Therapy and being challenged, and uses this to finally get out of her boring ass relationship. Who knows? We do. But you gotta listen. Don't forget to follow the show on Twitter @kinseyqueery, and your hosts at @ereadsaplenty and @_Wihbot.

    CW Up top: Language. The following episode is our reaction to a dramatized depiction of a real hate crime that occurred in the long ago years of 1999. The following may contain homophobic and transphobic slurs used in reference. Hey Sailor. Or Soldier. Or potential queer somewhere out there in the Ether. I'd apologize for being inconsistent, but I'm cute so we're going to call it "spontaneous". To celebrate my spontaneity, we're going to be talking about "Soldier's Girl", a 2003 dramatization of a 90's hate crime committed against a young man in love with a trans woman by a young man in love with a young man in love with a trans woman. Does the joy of staring at a young Lee Pace playing a trans woman outweigh the brutality of America under DADT((and all the other institutionalized -isms?))? Probably not.
