National Coming Out Day | The Gag EP 5: I’m Coming Out

Welcome back to Episode 5 of The Gag! We’ve been hard at work making sure our shit pops severely. So hopefully you enjoy this special episode in honor of National Coming Out Day. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Coming_Out_Day] In each episode, we pay homage to our favorite songs and talk about the themes of the music. And since Jason chose the classic Diana Ross song I’m Coming Out. We naturally discussed our coming out stories, the mess we went through to learn how to accept ourselves, and why straight people should be forced to come out with their raggedy ass sexuality as well. I’M COMING OUT - DIANA ROSS: Everyone’s coming out story is different and this is a discussion from our own personal experiences, but we hope that you learn that embracing yourself starts and ends with you.

Working While Queer | The Gag Ep 4: Work

Welcome back to the fourth episode of The Gag! In each episode, we pay homage to our favorite songs and talk about the themes of the music. And since I chose the hit Rihanna song Work [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HL1UzIK-flA]. We naturally discussed our experiences working in corporate america and entertainment, and the struggles we’ve dealt with being queer on the job. I personally chose this song and this topic because I’ve had some very crazy experiences dancing to this song in the club, and my life working in america as a queer person of color has been equally as messy.

#FREEBRITNEY | The Gag Ep 3: Gimme More

Happy Labor Day! Hope you’re enjoy those socially distant parties. Welcome back to the third episode of The Gag. In each episode, we pay homage to our favorite songs and talk about the themes of the music. And since Jason played The Britney Spears classic Gimme More [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=elueA2rofoo], and blessed y’all with a Khyisha (their drag persona) performance. We naturally discussed Britney’s most iconic moments, how her music shaped our upbringing, and the insanity happening with the #freebritney movement. Jason personally chose this song because they are a huge Britney STAN since day one, and they wanted to talk about one of their favorite artists and dissect the mess happening with her conservatorship. If you enjoy this episode please share it with friends, leave comments, hell you could even tell your straight friends, because there is more unapologetically black and queer content coming soon.

How to love your queer body | The Gag Ep 2: Video

Welcome back to the second episode of The Gag. In each episode, we pay homage to our favorite songs and talk about the themes of the music. And since I played the self-love anthem Video by India.Arie [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mq86e4Fhja0] we naturally discussed issues of body image, not fitting into white constructed binaries, and learning to love your queer body the way God designed it. I personally chose this song because as a queer person of color the song lyrics about loving yourself unconditionally really resonated with me. It’s been a long journey of self-acceptance for me personally and I gotta admit I still struggle ‘till this day. But the older I get the more I am learning to love my imperfections and I now know the things about myself that I tried to hide are the most beautiful things about me. If you enjoy this episode please share it with friends, leave comments, hell tell your homophobic cousins, because there is more unapologetically black and queer content coming soon.
