Sports Gays Unite

It's been a rough uncuffing season for the lesbian community, and Emily and RaLene have taken it pretty hard (consider this group therapy for all those grieving the loss of Sue Bird and Megan Rapinoe's relationship). But more importantly, it's also the one-year anniversary of Sports Gays Unite! The first ever episode was all about the WNBA Draft and the orange carpet fits, so Emily and RaLene throw it back and play some fashion-oriented games. They also talk about their first-ever IRL women's hockey game, exciting personal news, and the bright rays of gay love that shine through the clouds of breakup szn. Come for the drama, stay for the laughs.  To purchase a copy of Issue 2: Winter Games featuring Emily's personal essay, use this link.

Emily and RaLene are back for Season 2 in a new city watching new sports, but are still very gay. They breakdown the Olympics, analyze the great lesbian engagement of Team USA hockey captain Hilary Knight, discuss their new obsession with women's hockey, and ride the roller coaster of an Unrivaled's championship night.

Welcome to "Sports Gays Unite"! Those are the three first words Emily ever said to RaLene, and the rest is history. Come unite with us over all things gay, women, and sports.

Celebrate the holi-gays with your fave gays! Emily and RaLene play some festive games like Sports Bingo, sing praises for Holly Rowe (that's Christmas tradition for everyone, right?), and reflect on their year to close out the first season of Sports Gays Unite. Check out our IG for the bingo card and Holly's fire fit pics. Stay tuned for Season 2 in 2026, and thanks for all the love this year! 

Emily and RaLene reconvene after a small hiatus only partially due to the fact that they moved to a new continent. ;) They're talking all things women's baseball, WNBA salary drama, and our 2025 Wrapped-sheet. Check out our ⁠IG⁠ and ⁠TikTok⁠ and email us any topics you want us to talk about! 

What, you've never heard of Queerio Kart? That's because we just invented it. Think Beerio Kart but with gay people playing it. The goal is to finish your drink before the end of the race (or in our case, Grand Prix), and you can't drink and drive — duh. We make it sporty by asking each other existential questions about the WNBA while trying not to drive off Rainbow Road! Check out our ⁠IG⁠ and ⁠TikTok⁠ and email us any topics you want us to talk about! 

In the first inaugural Pride pod, RaLene and Emily celebrate from the comfort of their couch by discussing the gayest news in the WNBA and ranking the best biceps in the league. Check out our ⁠⁠IG⁠⁠ for photos of what we talked about today and follow us on Tiktok at SportsGaysUnitePod.

It's been a busy, sports-filled few weeks for RaLene and Emily! Between the start of the WNBA season and a trip to Southern California, they've been to lots of stadiums to cheer on their teams — and realized they have both a lot and little in common with their fellow fans. The duo talks about some of the pros and cons of the average lesbian fan experience. Give us some love on our ⁠socials⁠, and repost us to tell your friends about the pod!

Emily and RaLene pick right up where they left off last episode, going through Rounds 2 and 3 before crowing the best mascot in the WNBA. Hop on their delirium-riddled rollercoaster ride to find out which mascot would taste most like a Spindrift, who's serving the most face, and most importantly, who walks away as sole survivor.Like our show?

When last week's episode took an interesting segue into the wild world of mascots, Emily and RaLene were left with more questions than answers — why is everyone obsessed with Ellie the Elephant? What makes Freddy Fever so...diabolical? And what happens to mascots when their franchises bite the dust? Paired with the hankering for bracketology the two have had since March, and a brilliant idea was born: Mascot Madness, Hunger Games-style.That's right. We made a ⁠⁠bracket⁠⁠ pitting the WNBA's mascots against each other. Today, Emily and RaLene go through the play-in tournament and Round 1 to see which mascots are moving on to the next level of competition. Stay tuned for Part 2 next week!Check out the⁠⁠ visual guide ⁠⁠for this episode (highly recommended for this one) and ⁠⁠fill out a bracket⁠⁠ of your own for a chance to win a prize.
