This week on Bad Queers, we’re talking about the money behind anti-trans WNBA discourse, J.K. Rowling’s upcoming BBC documentary, and the WNBA Finals showdown between the Atlanta Dream and Golden State Valkyries. In Am I A Bad Queer, we’re debating queer matchmaking, supporting your friends’ businesses, and dating a friend’s former crush. Plus, Bad Queer Opinions on AI flyers and whether it’s time to retire “clock it” and “ate that.” Shoutouts: Kris: Dr. David Johns - friend of the show and two-time guest has a new book coming out this month, The Black Papers: A Policy Agenda for Black Liberation in the 21st Century.
