Queer Magnolias Podcast

Remember that one kiss? The one you now measure all other kisses by? We’re talking about that one tonight.

This week on QUEER MAGNOLIAS, we’re charting unknown territories and leaving the script behind because George and Rick have found themselves all by their fabulous selves in the studio - no supervision, no limits, and absolutely no holding back. "ALL BY OURSELVES" promises an episode like you've never heard before, blending our signature mix of humor, heart, and unapologetic queerness with the unpredictability of an AMA session gone gloriously rogue.

Back in the day, mall culture was a thing. Life was simple then: hanging out on the weekend with your friends, shopping for the latest Z. Cavaricci jeans, dropping in to find the newest fashion at Wet Seal, or grabbing a chocolate chip cookie from Mrs. Fields while flirting with the cutie behind the counter. Join us as we hit up the mall one more time! And afterward, we’ll stroll outside for the Cocktail Of The Week: Orange Julia!

In an idyllic world, we like to think that our community is welcoming and inclusive but that is not always the case.

So pull up a chair and let’s do this.

Fresh off last week’s episode, which was apparently a hit with you lot, we are following up with a conversation about lerrvvee. We will try to answer the question, what is love?

Yes, we’re going to talk about Gay Sex. We’ll talk about straight sex, too (eww, David). But first, let us clarify: The act of sex, and your sexual preferences, do not define your sexual orientation. What gets you off does not equate to how you fall in love. And being in love does not mean you can’t like certain things in the bedroom. We have plenty of time for all of those important conversations but today, we’re only talking about the bedroom. So let’s dive in.

Afterward, we’ll step out to The Front Porch for this week’s Cocktail Of The Week: The Chocolate Martini.

Conservatives and The Religious Right have always been searching for ways to demonize queer people — or, at a minimum, to find arguments that will prevent our normalization in society. This is especially true as of late in places like Florida and Texas. In this week’s episode, we tackle all those queer stereotypes and will answer that age-old question: Queer or False?

Afterward, we’ll stroll out to The Front Porch for this week’s Cocktail Of The Week: The Pink Flamingo.

This week’s episode gets raw and unedited, a departure from the norm. We planned to discuss North Carolina’s 11th District U.S Representative, Madison Cawthorn, but that conversation got pushed a bit after the latest school shooting in Uvalde, TX.
