Episode 64: Grindr Killers

Welcome back to another episode of the Queer LBC podcast! In today’s Quick Tea, we’ve got some stories that are both inspiring and downright outrageous:

Today in Gay:

Thailand makes history! The Thai king has signed same-sex marriage into law, marking a monumental step as the first country in Southeast Asia to do so. This is a huge win for LGBTQ+ rights in the region, and we’ll dive into what this means for the global queer community.

Today in Homophobia:

Republicans are pushing for colleges to fund student religious groups that openly discriminate against LGBTQ+ peers. We unpack the implications of this controversial move and what it could mean for queer students across the U.S.

Today in WTF:

It’s a wild one this week! First, a Senior Fellow at the American Federation for Children has been placed on leave after being linked to alleged porn appearances.

Also, the Heritage Foundation President reportedly confessed to killing his neighbor’s dog. Can you believe that?

And finally, Mark Robinson, an anti-LGBTQ+ GOP candidate, has expressed an unusual affinity for trans porn, according to reports from CNN. The hypocrisy, as always, is mind-blowing!

After that whirlwind Quick Tea, our main topic is a deep dive into the disturbing cases of Grindr Killers and the dangers of hookup culture. We’ll also share our personal stories of hookups that just didn’t feel quite right, plus some essential safety tips for anyone using dating apps.

Let’s get into it!
