Kristen is calling in from Buffalo this week, where she is helping her sister recover from a hip replacement, reflecting on how quickly patients are sent home and what that means for people without support. They celebrate Provincetown’s Lesbian Visibility Week and preview events like bingo, panels, and a Vixen reboot, while Kristen plans to return for shows including Star Crossed and upcoming Sass projects. They discuss the reported breakup of Sue Bird and Megan Rapinoe and the pressures on queer athletes, including past expectations that WNBA stars stay closeted. They cover Caitlyn Jenner receiving a passport with an “M” under Trump-era rules tying gender markers to birth certificates, and critique hypocrisy around seeking exceptions. They revisit backlash against Chappell Roan and broader culture of tearing down women celebrities, then name a QT of the Week: the EU court ruling Hungary’s anti-LGBTQ law violates EU values and rights.

Kristen and Harrison return to Queer Times as Kristen recounts watching NASA’s Artemis launch, realizing lingering Challenger-era trauma, and discussing “competency porn,” increased women in mission control, and a touching tribute naming a bright lunar spot in memory of Commander Reid Wiseman’s late wife Carol, a NICU nurse. They contrast women’s high standards with men “phoning it in,” citing Justin Bieber’s reportedly low-effort, higher-paid Coachella set and broader festival excess costs, prompting personal frugality goals. Harrison covers an alleged worker-arson at a Kimberly-Clark warehouse tied to living-wage demands, notes other recent commercial fires and a Molotov attack at Sam Altman’s home, and urges support for a May 1 general strike. Their QT of the week is Judge Ebony K. Williams defending an 18-year-old in a conversion-therapy payment dispute and condemning the father’s actions.

Kristen and Harrison catch up as Kristen vacations in Florida—hiking, fishing, seeing local protests, and noting beach life before heading to St. Augustine. Harrison recaps UConn’s college basketball run, a dramatic late game-winner, and a Drag Race crossover involving a women’s Final Four player. Their QT of the week highlights the WNBA’s new collective bargaining agreement and Nobel economist Claudia Goldin advising the players, plus concerns about the WNBA undervaluing its media-rights share and the Connecticut Sun’s move to Houston. They also discuss Chappell Roan’s Brazil controversy, celebrity privacy boundaries, and claims much of the backlash came from bots.
