This week on Queer News: Anna discusses 2025 Year in Review: We’re a Christian Podcast x Bad Queers Crossover
Family, “Me and God gonna have a lot of talks about forgiveness on this one…”
The holiday tradition continues! While we are still on our winter break, we are bringing you the conclusion of our annual end-of-year takeover with Kris and Shana of the Bad Queers Podcast. In Part 2, we’re moving from the heat of July through the final moments of December to wrap up what can only be described as a “dumpster fire” of a year with a little bit of grace and a lot of laughs.
In Part 2, we’re getting into:
The Wins: Lambda Legal’s massive $6.2 million victory and Anna’s beautiful “Shine a Light on It” exhibit.
The Mess: From the WNBA “Green Sex Toy” marketing stunt to the Charlie Kirk fallout and the end of the Dinah Shore era.
Bad Queer Opinions: Why we’re “too gay to be transphobic” and why some folks are officially not welcome in the circle in 2026.
The All-Star Vision: Anna, Kris, and Shana manifest a “Black & Gay as Hell” Summer 2026 in Chicago for the WNBA All-Star Game.
It’s been a wild year, family, but we are closing it out with the people who make us laugh the loudest. We’ll be back with our standard Queer News episode next week, but for now enjoy the chaos!
And don’t forget…
Independent Black queer media runs on your support. If you love this crossover, make sure to show some love to the Bad Queers fam!
