We're BAAAACCCCKKKKK. Welcome to Season 3! We're catching up on all our big players who did (or didn't, looking at you Sedona Prince) get up to some shenanigans while we were away. JoJo Siwa is queer and nonbinary, Margaret Qualley is playing a lesbian again, and Harry Styles is seemingly back in the studio.

On our season 2 finale AND one-year anniversary of the pod, we catch up on Lady Gaga-induced psychosis, Towa Bird looking a mess at Paris Fashion Week, Ian McKellen telling other actors to come out, and Rosie O'Donnell fleeing the country.

We offer a retrospective on the Oscars and volunteer our services if they're having podcast hosts do red carpet interviews. We're anticipating new music from Chappell Roan and Ariana Grande. But, on the other hand, Harry Styles hasn't been in the studio because he's been training for a marathon? And he's really fast? Plus, Armie Hammer of "Call Me By Your Name" and eating people fame tried being gay but didn't like it very much.

This week we discuss recent happenings in gay music, from Lady Gaga hosting and performing on SNL to Chappell Roan teasing new music. And we investigate the anime convention mishap that made Brittney Griner flee the Gaylord Convention Center. Plus, it's pretty safe to assume that any Renaissance-era artist or inventor was at least a little queer. We look into the rich history of gay sex in 14th-century Florence, Italy.

This week, we discuss a now-infamous Change.org petition about removing Dora Jar as Gracie Abrams' tour opener. And, Jeremy Allen White is making the unique and bold choice to play a bisexual character in an upcoming TV show.

This week, we talk all things "The Traitors," from Alan Cumming's search to queer and trans contestants to Tom Sandoval catching strays on Chanel Ayan's socials. And, Shari Franke's memoir revealed that her child-abusing mother Ruby Franke was also having gay sex. Plus, on Meta, you can't use hate speech. Unless it's directed at LGBTQ+ people!
