    What happens when two queer friends sit down and speak their unfiltered truth about everything from healthcare access to relationship dynamics? The answer is this raw, insightful, and occasionally hilarious conversation between Honeycuntt and Auntie J that pulls back the curtain on gay life in ways rarely discussed in mainstream media.

    The duo tackles the often frustrating experience of finding healthcare providers who truly understand LGBTQ+ needs. Auntie J shares a breakthrough moment of finally feeling comfortable with a doctor – a sadly rare experience that many queer folks will relate to. Meanwhile, Honeycuntt offers practical advice on navigating medical systems and utilizing disability benefits strategically. Their conversation highlights the additional labor LGBTQ+ individuals must perform just to receive appropriate care, while offering valuable insights for listeners facing similar challenges.

    Sexual compatibility takes center stage as they explore the nuances of gay relationship dynamics, from open relationships to sexual positioning preferences. Their frank discussion about "tops," "bottoms," "verses," and "sides" goes beyond superficial labels to examine how these preferences impact relationship compatibility. The hosts challenge toxic masculinity within the gay community, particularly the harmful practice of "bottom shaming," while advocating for honest communication between partners about needs and desires.

    Perhaps most valuably, the episode serves as an informal guide to gay sexual health and wellness that many never receive through traditional channels. From PrEP access to regular testing, the conversation emphasizes taking control of your sexual health without shame or judgment. Their closing message to "know your status" and for HIV-positive individuals to "rock your status" encapsulates their compassionate approach to community health.

    Whether you're a long-time member of the LGBTQ+ community or just beginning to explore your identity, this episode offers that rare combination of entertainment, education, and validation that comes from hearing others articulate experiences you thought were yours alone.

    Queer representation in media has evolved dramatically, but how far have we come? From subtly coded comic book heroes to the fierce queens of the drag world, this episode dives into the colorful spectrum of LGBTQ+ visibility that shapes our cultural landscape.

    Honeycuntt and Auntie J share hilarious observations about characters like Deadpool, Wonder Woman, and Loki who've carried the torch of queer representation in comics—sometimes out and proud, sometimes hiding between carefully drawn lines. They debate which characters were genuinely queer versus those who were merely coded, reflecting on how creators historically navigated restrictive publishing environments.

    The conversation shifts seamlessly into the electrifying world of drag, where both hosts confess their secret dreams of trying drag performance at least once. Their candid discussion includes everything from the technical challenges (sewing skills, tucking techniques, and makeup mastery) to navigating the sometimes shady politics of drag communities. Through personal stories about meeting queens like Bianca Del Rio and local performers, they paint a vivid picture of drag culture beyond what's portrayed on television.

    What truly shines is their unfiltered take on Drag Race and reality competition shows—imagining themselves as contestants who might lack technical skills but would deliver unforgettable reads and dramatic moments. Their fantasy scenarios of competing against each other showcase the playful chemistry that makes their friendship so entertaining.

    Whether you're a drag aficionado, comic book lover, or simply curious about queer media, this episode delivers laughs while highlighting how far LGBTQ+ representation has come—and how much further it still needs to go.

  • In Memoriam: Celebrating Jiggly Caliente
    Apr 30 2025

    Send us a text

    The rainbow community lost a brilliant light with the passing of Jiggly Caliente, and we're taking time to honor her memory and legacy. Bianca Castro, known worldwide as Jiggly, passed away peacefully on April 27th, surrounded by loved ones, after health complications, including a leg amputation. We reflect on what made her so special, from her infectious energy on Season 4 of RuPaul's Drag Race to her evolution as a trans icon and judge on Drag Race Philippines.

    Jiggly's journey touched countless lives through her artistry, activism, and genuine connections with fans worldwide. Her beautiful smile (complete with those perfect veneers!) could light up a room and make Bianca Del Rio smile from ear to ear. What greater testament to someone's character could there be? We share the family's moving statement about her passing and discuss how her life exemplified living authentically and courageously.

    Her death at just 44 years old serves as a powerful reminder about life's unpredictability and the importance of cherishing every moment. As one host prepares to venture into drag for the first time at 37, we reflect on how Jiggly's example inspires us to pursue our authentic selves without hesitation. Between drag queens, memorable nights out, and heartfelt tributes, this episode celebrates a rainbow sister who earned her wings far too soon. May her memory inspire authenticity, courage, and community connections for generations to come.

    Subscribe to join our fruitcake family, and share your favorite Jiggly memories with us on social media as we celebrate the lasting impact of a true drag icon.

  • From Paris is Burning to Love Victor: Our Favorite LGBTQ+ Media
    Apr 24 2025

    Send us a text

    "Do you remember your first encounter with LGBTQ+ representation in media? That magical moment when you finally saw yourself reflected back on screen or found your experiences captured in words on a page?

    Honeycuntt and Auntie Jay take listeners on a nostalgic journey through the media that shaped their queer identities and understanding of the community. From early 2000s groundbreakers like Queer as Folk and Will & Grace to contemporary favorites like Love Simon and Heartstopper, they explore how representation has evolved over the decades.

    The conversation weaves through television classics, cult films, YA novels, superhero comics, and documentaries that have become cornerstones of queer cultural literacy. Paris is Burning gets its deserved recognition as a foundational document of ball culture that influenced everything from RuPaul's Drag Race to modern slang. Meanwhile, The Rocky Horror Picture Show sparks memories of midnight screenings and audience participation that created safe spaces for exploration.

    Beyond entertainment, Honey and Jay dig into how these media touchstones provided crucial validation during formative years when many felt isolated or misunderstood. They celebrate how representation has expanded from stereotypical sidekicks to complex protagonists in stories that center queer joy rather than just struggle.

    Whether you're looking for your next binge-watch, a meaningful read, or simply want to reminisce about the characters who helped you understand your own identity, this episode offers both heartfelt reflections and plenty of recommendations to add to your media queue.

  • Gay & Okay: Tales From The Other Side of The Closet
    Apr 17 2025

    What's the real story behind coming out? Not the polished, perfect narratives we often hear, but the messy, complicated, sometimes painful reality of revealing your authentic self to the world.

    Join Honeycuntt and Auntie J as they peel back the glossy veneer of coming out stories to reveal the raw truths beneath. From dramatically different family reactions—Auntie J's tearful but ultimately accepting father contrasted with Honeycutt being disowned for five years after coming out on Facebook—to the complicated intersection of sexuality, trauma, and self-discovery, this conversation doesn't shy away from difficult realities.

    The hosts explore how external factors shape our coming out experiences, from growing up during the AIDS epidemic to navigating religious objections from family members. They share personal anecdotes about their evolution after coming out, including Aunite J's journey from hypermasculinity to proudly wearing heels at 37, demonstrating that authenticity is an ongoing process rather than a single moment.

    Most valuably, they offer practical advice grounded in lived experience: come out on your terms when it's safe to do so, find your supportive community when biological family fails you, and remember that self-acceptance is a journey with no predetermined timeline. Their message of hope comes not from empty platitudes but from having navigated these waters themselves.

    Whether you're contemplating coming out, supporting someone who is, or simply seeking to understand diverse LGBTQ+ experiences, this candid conversation offers genuine insight into one of life's most vulnerable yet potentially liberating experiences. Listen, learn, and remember—as cliché as it sounds, it does get better.

  • We're All Just Human: How LGBTQ+ Rights Are Being Threatened Today
    Apr 10 2025

    Send us a text

    The political landscape for LGBTQ+ people in America has reached a critical and concerning juncture. As Honeycuntt and Jay candidly explore in this emotional episode, we're witnessing an unprecedented rollback of protections that many fought decades to secure – from HIV funding to basic anti-discrimination measures.

    "I've never been left speechless so much in my entire life," Honeycuntt admits, capturing the disbelief many queer people feel watching rights being threatened. Yet both hosts balance this concern with determined resilience: "The sun has to come out after each storm."

    What makes this conversation particularly compelling is how it examines divisions within the LGBTQ+ community itself. The hosts question queer conservatives who support anti-LGBTQ policies and highlight how privilege – particularly for white gay men – creates vastly different experiences of discrimination. This nuanced exploration transcends simplistic political divides to examine the intersection of identity, fear, and community.

    The discussion takes a decisive turn when addressing transgender rights, with both hosts acknowledging their growth in understanding. "There's nothing more beautiful than seeing your trans friends be themselves," they observe, grounding abstract political debates in human connection and dignity.

    Throughout the episode, the conversation weaves through intersecting issues – from military service to education access to social security – demonstrating how attacks on LGBTQ+ rights connect to broader social justice concerns. The hosts' authentic blend of humor, outrage, and vulnerability creates space for listeners to process their feelings about our current political moment.

    Despite the heaviness of the subject matter, the episode ultimately leaves listeners with hope and solidarity. We may be facing significant challenges as a community, but we're facing them together – and that connection might be our greatest strength.

  • Navigating the LGBTQ+ Community: Messy, Beautiful, and Everything Between
    Apr 3 2025

    Send us a text

    Hey furit cakes,

    What does genuine community mean in LGBTQ+ spaces? Beyond rainbow flags and Pride celebrations lies a complex reality where queer people navigate both external prejudice and internal divisions.

    In this raw, unfiltered conversation, we explore the messy contradictions of queer community life. From heated debates about representation in schools to the frustrating reality of "gays for Trump," we don't shy away from the uncomfortable truths that challenge our collective identity. We share personal experiences of calling out problematic behavior within our community, highlighting the courage it takes to speak truth even when it's unpopular.

    Consumer ethics emerge as a particularly thorny issue as we discuss the moral gymnastics of supporting businesses with anti-LGBTQ+ practices. The Chick-fil-A dilemma represents just one example of how everyday decisions become political statements when you're queer. "I love these products. I hate the people running them," captures the impossible position many of us find ourselves in.

    The podcast takes a tender turn as we offer advice to our younger selves about navigating community spaces. "Surround yourself with people who care about you... If you see red flags, leave them," serves as a potent reminder that even chosen family requires boundaries. We reflect on the friends we've lost—both through death and necessary distance—acknowledging how these experiences shape our understanding of what true community means.

    By the end, we arrive at a bittersweet truth: our community is simultaneously beautiful yet ugly. This duality doesn't diminish its importance but rather highlights the ongoing work required to create spaces where all queer people can thrive. Subscribe now to join this essential conversation about building better connections in a world that still challenges our right to exist.
