In an interesting turn of events, this week’s episode is based on a book? That’s right, contrary to popular belief, gay people can read. So join us as we recreate Tom Standage’s A History of the World in 6 Glasses with our own queer little twist. And save the date, for on January 6th we’re meeting at the Capitol Building for a tea dance. Nothing more. Just tea and dancing. We promise… maybe.

How epic is that?

Listen in on this important and brief political message.
ROAR! This week Claire and Gib are proving once and for all that animals are, in fact, very gay — and all it took was a little chimpanzee smut to prove it.

Talking Points: The life of a cat, Begrudging dog lover, Dolphins holding hands, Monkey smut, The only gay zoologist in the world
In this episode, Claire and Gib whip out their most valuable mystery mousketools to deliver all our dear listeners to the happiest place on earth. Even the Disney gays. That’s right, this week we’re finally answering the question on everyone’s mind: Why does Disney feel so gay? It’s certainly not their politics, and it’s certainly not their content, so why does this gay people hating megacorp seem so homosexual? The only way to find out is to listen. See what I did there? A little cliffhanger. And no, I cannot fix the glitch that occurs in the first .01 seconds of this episode. I have no audio editing skills.

Into the trenches we go, soldiers! This week Claire and Gib head into battle against the horrors induced by approximately four YouTube videos… you know the ones. The salacious content that turned you gay in 2015, from Hayley Kiyoko’s “Girls like Girls” to that weirdly high production value short film posted in all caps ”A WORLD WHERE GAY IS A NORM & STRAIGHT A MINORITY.” So, join us on the front lines of coming out at as lesbians at 12 years old, even though we aren’t lesbians.

This is a very somber day in That’s Gay nation. Our beloved hosts Claire Geare and Gib Manrique have tragically passed due to vogue-ing related complications, and it’s up to certified sister Taylor Geare to carry on our legacy in our final That's Gay ever. In this episode, the ghosts of our hosts return to say their piece as we revisit the episode graveyard.

Honey, we’re home! That’s right, this week is all about our favorite ways to rot our brains… sitcoms! From Golden Girls to Modern Family, almost every sitcom has tackled queer issues at one point or another, and (sometimes) it’s very good. So join us as Gib is very rude to Claire’s boyfriend, we make our official apology for past discretions, and we are literally forced to talk about Ellen Degeneres. Ew.

You betta work! Welcome fashionistas to a brand new episode of Rupaul’s — I mean, That’s Gay! Today we’re serving up a heaping plate of homosexual fashion trends with our resident expert Larisa May. Did we pronounce a lot of names wrong? Yes. Did Gib forget how centuries work? Also yes. And can you bleach your hair in the 1800s? Apparently so. Prepare for the episode that made Claire want to rip their hair out editing. Take that as you will.

It’s brand new semester at the #1 school in innovation, so what better way to make our grand return to the studio than by celebrating queer innovators of the past and present? Today’s episode consists of us not understanding half the things these innovators actually did, but knowing it was definitely pretty cool. Trust. So join us as we grapple with the horrible ego death of finding out we maybe aren’t the innovators we thought we were. We’re just podcasters.

BOO! It may not be spooky season, but today we’re serving up some horror hot takes with Tyler Shecklen! One of the he/him’s on this podcast IS a serial killer, but we’re not telling which one. And yes, Gib leaves halfway through this episode. No, I’m not going to edit it out. It’s not our fault though! Taylor Swift broke into the studio once again and held Gib hostage for approximately four minutes of the podcast. Or maybe it was our production director — who’s to say?
Talking points: lesbian vampires, frankenhooker, defying god is gay, Taylor Swift break in, sheckle
Gather your potions and clickety-clacks, because none other than Lex Doig is here to prove once and for all that DnD is objectively gay.

So step right into our magic circle for a very special episode, and Gib, get your dang feet off the table.
Talking Points: the ren faire, wise old tree, identity roll call!, choose your character, super-queers, gib’s freaking foot
