Welcome back! Today, we learn about the legal battle to bring marriage equality to Saskatchewan, Canada. We also may or may not learn the difference between a province and a territory. To make up for that confusion, here's a bonus fact: The Saskatchewan province derives its name from the Saskatchewan River. The Cree people called it kisiskatchewani sipi or kisiskâciwan, referring to the river's fast current.
Feel free to hit Cat up if any of that's wrong.

Welcome back to a particularly confusing and enraging moment in queer history (and quite an embarrassing one for you, California). Cat teaches us about Proposition 8, a ballot initiative in California that defined marriage between one man and one woman. What can we take away from this, and how can we use it to protect our future?

Asexuality is one of the most erased, discounted, and maligned identities under the LGBT umbrella. Fun fact - the "A" in LGBTQIA stands for "asexual." Sorry, allies.
In celebration of this awareness week, Cat teaches us about our normal, well-adjusted, awesome asexual family. We dispel some harmful myths, learn what not to say to asexual people, and remember that we're here to lift each other up.

Welcome to another "late to the party" episode! Spirit Day is an an anti-bullying day to bring awareness about homophobia in schools. Annnnd it might have actually been on October 15th this year. Actually, not "might." It was. BUT it was created on October 19th, so we're going to celebrate today!
Y'all. In this episode, Cat learns that McG had a VERY different and MUCH more awesome concept of what "gender reveals" were; then, she ruins it for him, you, and the human race. Sorry.

Hey everybody! We've got a crazy episode for you today as we release a long-awaited episode of Queer All Year! In this two-day episode, Cat starts out with bragging about her wedding which happened three years ago on the 22nd/23rd lol. After that we go into a talk about bierasure and give a shoutout to our bi friends as this is Bi-awareness week! She also has a crazy story about Squeeky Fromme and the attempted assassination of Gerald Ford. For unknown reasons we descend into a discussion on gun types and Jimmy Page.
Thanks so much and stay tuned for more!
Hey everybody! We've got a cheery episode for ya today on Queer All Year!
Today's story is about the charity softball game that occurred today in 1973 between the NYPD and The New York Matts, that latter being a group of homosexual advocates that had been in close contact with the police. This was a happy moment in America and helps build bonds within the community.
Thanks so much and remember: We Love You!
Hey everyone!
We are back at it again with this little introductory episode to help catch up with our fans on Queer All Year! More is to be coming, but for now you can learn about Cat's Covid, Ryan's dog fight. It's totally legal, dude.
Thanks so much and remember: We Love You!
Cat records another yet another episode exemplifying that she is not a sound producer!
We've been missing for over a week! Where did we go? Find out in this quick little update!
Hey everybody! Welcome back for an emotional, disturbing episode of Queer All Year!
Today we're talking about more current events than usual: the murder of a 17-year-old, black, transgender girl, Brayla Stone on June 25th, 2 days ago. All of the press has dead-named her or referred to Brayla as he. Since then, a very transphobic person has gone to instagram bragging about murdering her and flauting the money he was paid to do so. Then all of a sudden this person decided it was all a joke. The media also pointed to her family's transphobic thoughts and this leads Cat and McG to talk about our own biases. We sincerely apologize to our black community, whom we recently misrepresented in our haste to present information. Cat also had huge help in her research from a brave Twitter-warrior: @1thirty1. Lauryn, we are big fans and would love to have you on one day! Finally, if you would sign this petition to bring justice for Brayla, or at least share this and tell people to say her name! She was Brayla Stone, not whatever dead-name they gave her!

Hey everybody! Welcome back for a wonderful episode of Queer All Year!
Today we're talking about Obergefell v Hodges in the Supreme Court, which resulted in gay marriage being legalized! We also need to warn you that Cat screams quite unexpectedly in this episode so don't turn your volume up too loud :). Also we talk about Trans House in Topeka!
Thanks so much and remember: We Love You!
Hey everybody! Welcome back for a wonderful episode of Queer All Year!
Finally, a day in which some good things happened! After the last few episodes, Cat and McG have been very much looking forward to these happy topics! Unfortunately it won't last-Stonewall is coming up.. But today we celebrate Reverend Doctor William R Johnson who became the first openly gay person ordained in an "establishment" denomination of Christianity. Next we celebrate the very first flight of the rainbow flag at the San Francisco Gay Freedom Day parade. Cat also discusses how this fits into the Black Lives Matter movement. As for the title of the episode, we would really appreciate if you could give us a 5 star rating and review wherever it is that you listen to our podcast! If you believe that our topics are important and for the benefit of humankind, leaving a rating and review is the most effective way to open us up to new listeners, as this is how iTunes' algorithm seems to work. This can be accessed in your podcast app on the our Queer All Year page.
Thanks so much and remember: We Love You!
Hey everybody! Welcome back for a very sad and frustrating episode of Queer All Year!
So before we get started, we want to warn our listeners that this episode is graphic and can be disturbing for many listeners. Also, the use of the F-word appears once. It is necessary to do so to properly tell the tragic events of the Upstairs Lounge Arson. We completely understand if you want to skip this episode. That being said, Cat delivers a passionate performance recanting the disgusting events and truly is a powerful episode. Tomorrow, we're finally taking a break from these awful episodes so please come back then to hear an inspiring story with a good ending!
Thanks so much and remember: We Love You!
Hey everybody! Welcome back to a super frustrating episode of Queer All Year!
So today we're talking about the about the Webb City High School free speech scandal. Beginning in 2004, 16-year-old Brad Mathewson began being censored by his school for wearing shirts expressing himself with slogans such as "I'm gay and I'm proud." The school forced him to change and continued to discriminate against him while many other students continued to wear homophobic shirts with phrases such as "Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve." This is just the beginning of a terrible story of bullying perpetrated by the administration as well as students that led to Brad failing out and turning to drugs. As we've stated before, high school kids really can be the worst.
Thanks so much and remember: We Love You!
Hey everybody! Welcome back for a depressing episode of Queer All Year!
Today we talk about the brutal murder of Robert Hillsborough by John Cordova and several friends who had been incited to do so after listening to Anita Bryant's hate-speech. While stabbing Robert 15 times, witnesses heard Cordova scream, "This one's for Anita!" So this is not speculation, they did this for her. We then talk about culpability in hate-speech and what we believe should be considered incitement. She should be in prison.
Thanks so much and remember: We Love You!
Hey everybody! Welcome back for another great episode of Queer All Year!
Today we talk about the Texas Gay Conference, which helped unite the Gay community and to help others in your community. Cat takes a moment to bash on our homestate of Kansas once again, From this conference emerged the Texas Gay Task Force (which sounds super awesome)
Anyway, remember: WE LOVE YOU!
Hey everybody! Welcome back for a grand episode of Queer All Year!
Today, we talk about the wonderful world of conversion therapy. Most of these are christian groups that claim they can cure homosexuality or show you a path to avoid that type of sin. It should become obvious that we don't condone forcing people to undergo this therapy for something the patient knows isn't a defect. Cat talks in depth about Exodus International and their association with the "ex-gay" community.
Thanks so much and remember: We Love You!
Welcome to Queer All Year's first Juneteenth episode!
Cat is once again in charge of the audio, and she apologizes for the horrible swallowing noises, "ummms," and whatnot.
Today, Cat tries to explain without white-splaining the history of Juneteenth, goes briefly into some of the recent cases of murder in the Black Lives Matter movement, and then explores how the Black Trans Lives Matter voice is being stifled. Note: Everyone involved with this podcast is white. The official stance of Queer All Year is that Black Lives Matter, and we are here to listen. This is our very limited platform and we hope our little voice makes some kind of difference, but the main thing we want our listeners to take away is that listening until we're asked to speak is the best thing we can do right now.
Remember - we love you, and the Universe is helping us to a better world!

Hey everybody! Welcome back for another awesome episode of Queer All Year!
Today we have the pleasure of telling you about the glorious Sally Ride! She was the first American woman in space and unbenownst to the world at the time, the first lesbian in space! She also was a brilliant physicist, notably having discovered the faulty O-rings as the cause for the disastrous Challenger explosion. After her death, the world found out that Sally's family had been very accepting of her life, including her partnership with Tam for 27 years. They had just chosen not to publicize it. It's so nice to have a happy ending for once!
Thanks so much and remember: We Love You!

Hey everybody! Welcome back for another wild episode of Queer All Year!
Today, Cat and McG talk trash on the Family Protection Act which went into law on this day in 1981. As one could expect, it isn't about protecting families, rather this legislation took what little protections away from the queer community and also females in general. Then senator Jepsen, who championed this legislation to "save families" was arrested in a brothel. Good moral compass.
Thanks so much and remember: We Love You!
Hey everybody! Welcome back for a fun episode of Queer All Year!
Today we have the pleasure of talking about the 1988 Southern Baptist Convention, which formed to pass a resolution on their stance toward homosexuality. As you can imagine, it was a bunch of homophobic pseudo-science. Then in 2019 they changed their policy to say the same things but with politically correct legalese. After that, Cat and McG start talking about our old church and the issues that have been arising with the changing world.
Thanks so much and remember: We Love You!
Hey everybody! Welcome back for a royal episode of Queer All Year!
So Cat loves nothing more than talking about the British Royal Family and McG loves nothing less ;). Today marks the day that Prince William appeared on Attitude Magazine to talk about bullying and hate against the queer community. So good on ya, mate! They talk like that, right?
Thanks so much and remember: We Love You!
Hey everybody! Welcome back for an awesome episode of Queer All Year!
Today we have a fun story that doesn't end in violence! It's The Gay and Lesbian Kingdom of the Coral Sea Islands. It was created by gay rights activists in Australia who seceded on the basis of the country's refusal to recognize marriage equality. They did so under the Law of Unjust Enrichment and did so until the government recognized their right to be married. As an American it sounds impossible to secede without a military invasion; The Kingdom declared "war" on Australia, yet no one was hurt or killed. Amazing!
Thanks so much and remember: We Love You!
Hey everybody! Welcome back for another fun episode of Queer All Year!
Today, Cat talks about Colorado legislation drafted by the Colorado Family Values organization. This legislation was aimed at the repeal of protections based on sexuality. We also explain how this is part of a larger rhetoric to discount queer rights as "special rights." This has helped fuel a public perception that these laws are not to help vulnerable people, but to provide privilege over the general population.
Thanks so much and remember: We Love You!
Hey everyone! Welcome back for another episode of Queer All Year!
Today we have the unfortunate responsibility of discussing the terrible mass shooting at the Pulse nightclub that occurred on this day in 2016. Cat finishes the episode with the names of the victims to help remember them.
Thanks so much and remember: We Love You!
Hey everybody! Welcome back for another wild episode of Queer All Year!
So today we'd like to start out remembering Phoenix Nesmith, who was very loved by our community in Topeka and across the world. Next, we go on to tell a brief history of the quest for marriage equality in Iceland. We end up with some extra time so Cat and McG throw around baseless speculation regarding the disappearance of 2 children. It's fun to listen to, but also take the last story with a grain of salt, it's more of a discussion.
Thanks so much and remember: We Love You!
Hey everybody! Welcome back for another worldly episode of Queer All Year!
So today, Cat and McG shows off their incredible abilities to pronounce French and Italian names while telling the story of Bartholome Tecia, a 15 year old student who was tortured into confessing to homosexual acts in 1566. Possibly sold out by friends and a teacher, he was convicted and drowned in the River Rhone. What wonderful people we all are.
Thanks so much and remember: We Love You!
Hey everybody! Welcome back for another thrilling episode of Queer All Year!
Today we start out with a little update: Cat went to the emergency room and tested for covid. The results aren't back yet, but she's home and well enough to record! With that in mind, Cat's main story is about Laverne Cox!
Thanks so much and remember: We Love You!
Hey everybody! Welcome back to another awesome episode of Queer All Year!
Today starts out with a little banter over Cat's recent illness as McG diagnoses her with hypochondria. Our main story is the intriguing tale of Elisa and Marcela, which is possibly the only lesbian marriage to be still recognized by the Catholic church. It's a trip, you won't want to miss it!
Thanks and remember: We love you!
Hey everybody! Welcome back for another great episode of Queer All Year!
Today, Cat talks about a controversial policy announced by the ACLU in 1957. This statement acknowledging state sodomy laws aimed at gays and lesbians to be constitutionally valid. Fortunately, this was revoked in 1963 thanks to various local repesentatives.
Thanks and remember: You're right where the universe wants you to be!
Hey everybody! Welcome back for another wonderful episode of Queer All Year!
Today, we are unfortunately discussing the murder of Richar Heakin, an active member of the queer community in Lincoln, Nebraska. He was beaten and left for dead by 13 high school jocks, none of whom faced anything worse than community service depite admitting guilt. Cat also talks about recent revelations from her sorority revealing a racist, confederate history.
Thanks so much and remember: You're exactly where the Universe wants you to be.
Hey everybody! welcome back for another awesome episode of Queer All Year!
We're finally caught up! From now on, episodes should be able at the normal time and having our usual caliber of material. Anyway, we hope you love the episode and remember: You are exactly where the Universe wants you to be.
Hey everybody, welcome back for another great episode of Queer All Year!
In today's episode, Cat talks about gay rights activists storming a municipal building in protest of marriage inequality. It was completely peaceful and officers were fed wedding cake.
Stay safe out there and remember: We Love You!
Hey everybody! Welcome back for another great episode of Queer All Year!
We're still dealing with scheduling conflicts this past week and are a little behind on episodes. Not to worry, they shall be up soon. Anyway today Cat talks about Guyana and then we end up in some weird conversations about conspiracy theories.
Thanks so much and remember: We Love You!
Hey everybody! Welcome back for another wild episode of Queer All Year!
McG's back and takin care of sound! Cat really pulled through in the last couple days learning how to be a sound producer lol. Cat talks about the Lamdba literary awards and names a few of the winners. For a more thorough list here's the link: https://www.lambdaliterary.org/awards/2020-winners/ Other than that, we talk a little trash on Trump and hope for the best.
Thanks so much and remember: We Love You!
Welcome to Pride Month, everyone! We made it! We have no clue what it's going to look like since we're in quarantine!
Today, Cat posts the episode WAY too late, let's us know that McG is still sick and reaffirms that she's not a sound producer, talks about systemic racism and ponders how to address it properly in a queer history podcast, moves straight into Jerry Falwell (booo) and the Moral Majority (BOOOO), and then talks about Gay Days at Disney World! There may or may not also be some talk about Frozen during which Cat forgot to mention the reason she was talking about it, but it doesn't matter because she's never seen either of the movies.
Welcome to a really weird episode of Queer All Year, in which McG is non-COVID sick and Cat really hopes she GarageBanded correctly!
Today, Cat's talking in a very tired voice about the Covenant of Loving Partners, the ceremony created by the Conservative Judaism movement when they extended marriage equality to everyone! Cat's posting this at 9am having not slept last night; McG...honestly, probably took Cat's dog for a walk around 5am and is now passed out; if this episode doesn't post, Cat's TMJ is going to permanently lock her mouth shut and this podcast is gonna get weird.
Hey everybody! Welcome back to another wonderful episode of Queer All Year!
So today is just a pretty long conversation between Cat and McG over the Minneapolis riots and the events leading to them. Cat's main story is about the death of Reverend Joseph Mann.
Thanks so much and remember: We Love You!
Hey everybody, welcome back to another wonderful episode Queer All Year!
So today, Cat and McG start off with their usual banter. Cat gave McG instructions to not get political, and then she went off on a linguistic analysis of Barack Obama, which was quite entertaining. We also express how we miss "Uncle Biden" meaning the Joe Biden before all the media attention he received during this election. For our main story, Cat tells of the tumultous Proclamation 85 in 2010. This created Pride Month.
Thanks so much and remember: We Love You!
Check out our bonus stuff!
Hey everybody! Welcome back for another great episode of Queer All Year!
Today, Cat and McG start out with another surprise guest: Florida Man! On this particular date, Florida Man was subdued after trying to stab someone with a throwingstar. We debate the wisdom behind using a projectile as a melee weapons and discuss other odd weapons. For our main story: Cat talks about the Golden Gate Bridge. McG previously did A Little Segment on the topic, but destroyed all his notes, unfortunately. Still very informative, though.

Do you think every day is an opportunity to make history? We're right there with you. Every day - that's right, EVERY day - Queer All Year will cover the cishet concept of history with truth-glitter, and you know how hard that is to get out. Welcome to Queer All Year!
