Cheers to the queers (and our allies)! Welcome to our first episode of Qweird! This week we're talking about the riot grrrl movement, and how it inspired us to put ourselves out there and "bang our own instruments." Join us each week as we tell stories about our queer lives, and hear the stories of the queers we've met along the way. Shout out to all the ladies, transfolk, and non-binary pioneers who paved the way. Be weird & stay weird!
