Welcome back, Queerdos! Today we're talking about EVERYONE'S favorite subject: bathrooms! (Yes, AGAIN.) Today we're telling you about Idaho HB 607, which has now unfortunately passed into law, and makes using the "wrong" bathroom a criminal offense. We discuss the far right's continued obsession with the g*nitals of strangers, potential forms of malicious compliance, and a sprinkle of Mormon fun facts. We'll also chat about the fabulous John Bell, CobrAH, and Laverne Cox! Come join in on the fun, and join us in singing "Speaking words of wisdom, 'Let them Pee!'"

Hey Queerdos, welcome back!! We're switching it up again, and today we're talking about Idaho Senate Bill 1357, which would prevent immigrant students from obtaining sports scholarships, and preventing immigrant scholarship students from making up too much of a sports team. No, really, we can't make this up. Fortunately, this bill did not pass, but we're here to share thoughts all the same. We're also aware of the issue with the timing of these episodes (apologies to Aunt Tifa and the Golden Girls Drag troupe, we mathed wrong on our release dates!), so keep your eyes peeled for our upcoming switch to weekly episodes! In the meantime, Crickett will tell you about the fabulous Matt Bernstein and his innovative use of makeup for activism, Taylor geeks out over Marco's funhouse, and we've got great resources for our international educators out there!

Welcome back to Queerdaho! Strap in Queerdos, because we attended the Public Hearing (not the "legislative session" as Taylor keeps saying. Her bad!) for Idaho's Pediatric Secretive Transitions Parental Rights Act. Needless to say, we're ANGRY about this direct attack on vulnerable children. We once again want to express that we are not obligated to report ANY disclosures, so we will ALWAYS be a safe space. YOU are LOVED.  This one went a little long as we lay out the details and repercussions of this bill, as well as our experience at the public hearing. We also spotlight the humanitarian work of Katherine short, and the support trans kids can find with the Stonewall Youth. And of course we'll have a couple more bops to add to your playlist. (Apologies to the Boise Gay Men's Chorus. We are still ironing out our posting schedule, and our math was a little off on the announcement about the concert that actually took place on 3/28.

Welcome back, Queerdos! In light of the DHS push to oust folks on social media who are critical of I.C.E., we wanted to make sure that we cleared up a few things: fuck ICE, fuck racism, and fuck any piece of shit that's in the Epstein files. In case we haven't been clear! Today, we'll talk a little about the I.C.E. presence in Idaho, as well as a well-earned salute to a brave woman who survived a forever yeet attempt by a border patrol agent.
