A concerned older man is shown thoughtfully gazing off to the side, with a headline underneath that satirically discusses conservatives losing the ability to speak English after a performance by Bad Bunny.

Thank you, Queers & Weirdos! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🤓
With the Super Bowl on 🏈, I truly assumed no one would be listening to my podcast today and yet, you showed up 😳🎙️
I’m honestly shocked and so incredibly grateful. 💜
I love you. Don’t forget your fiber 😉

Queers & Weirdos 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🤓
Today is James Dean’s birthday 🎂🎬

Hollywood icon. Eternal rebel.
Rumored to be bisexual — and he didn’t dissuade the rumors, often laughing them off.

So I’m putting it to you 👀
Should he be profiled on Forgotten Queers? 🎙️💜
Tell me your thoughts 👇😉

Name another song that mentions the word "Angel." 🎶
Written by Jean Dinning & her husband, Red Surrey, the song "Teen Angel" was recorded by her brother Mark Dinning in late 1959. At first, radio stations banned it because it was too sad. But, this didn't stop its popularity.
