Episode notes
It looks like Christmas has come early with a Flash Back Friday Patti LaBelle Holiday Presidential Christmas Tree Lighitng Extravganza circa 1996… and it is a dooze! The big question is: WHERE. ARE. HER. BACKGROUND SINGERS?!?! (Don’t worry not only will we renact it for you thorughout the episode but we’ve posted the link). In the kornes first up it’s James posing the question: Do I sound gay?! Before you answer we investigate what does it mean to “sound gay” inspired by the documtary ‘Do I Sound Gay?’, along with what does it mean to be “straight acting” and who all these “straight acting” gays are truly at war with. Nnekay gives us the full low down on other Black Podcast that you should be listening to. When did Halloween become mainstream? Probably more recent than you think, and Nnekay is going to give us the history. James has another Quizlet Korner that is horrifying. Christian Hell Houses? Lesbian Bachloretts? That’s so Raven? Barrack Obama and the Gays? All in this epsidoe of Minority Korner!
