We're back! Recorded live at the LGBTQ+ community with Britney Spears, we're discussing recent events including Pride month, the NHS rainbow, white supremacy (and celebrities attempts to dismantle it), the Glee curse, Raven Symone's wedding photos and quite a lot more! We also decide on the gayest flavour of Ben & Jerrys, before abruptly ending the pod because we wanted ice cream. Some podcasts at the intersection of LGBTQ+ and Black culture we would suggest listening to:Marsha's Plate: linktr.ee/MarshasPlateQueerWOC: https://queerwoc.com/Nancy - Specifically their recent episode with Imara Jones, who discussed making the current Black Lives Matter movement truly inclusive to black trans women like herself:https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/nancy/episodes/nancy-podcast-black-trans-lives-matterBlack, Trans & Beautiful: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/black-trans-beautiful/id1361445893Busy Being Black: https://play.acast.com/s/busybeingblackAfroQueer Podcast: https://afroqueerpodcast.com/Another great resource:http://evelynleefilms.com/blm A further reading list:https://www.booktable.net/black-lives-matter-reading-listArticle on medical racism: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jun/16/historical-racism-may-be-behind-englands-higher-bame-covid-19-rateWays to help:https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/

But Make It Gay

#13 - Depression, Bread, Revolution

Hello! We’re back for our first ‘at home’ episode to mostly discuss gays in quarantine and celebrities being awful. We also address the flour shortage by debating the gayest bread (spoiler: it’s not banana), and share our thanks for Florence Pugh, Jacqueline Wilson and no longer having to interact with straights.We would also like to sincerely apologise for recording this episode before our microphones arrived, it’s potentially our worst sound quality so far (?) but we couldn’t wait any longer - and what better time to lower your standards than now? ?

#12 - "Queer-antine"

Finally, the event nobody has been waiting for - the first ever But Make It Gay Awards show sponsored by Florence Pugh's marmalade (you all get a free jar!)Awards include best musician, best movie, best concept, best Greta and of course, villain of the year. Unfortunately our host (and queen) Giannina Milady ran away at the podium, so instead we'll be handing out every award ourselves in our usual, unprofessional manner.

#11 - The Awards

Happy Carol season! We're back with our 10th episode for a seasonal special. This episode we talk Dakota Johnson, movies, tv, music, and straight people crashing planes while lesbians (The Veronicas) get thrown off them. We also have a few festive film pitches of our own and debate the gayest board game. And if in doubt, "ask your producer, Jonathan." - Dakota Johnson, 2019.

#10 - Homo Alone

We’re back! In our end of (cruel) summer special we take a deep dive into Taylor Swift’s LOVER and recap the gayest summer ever - including Miley Cyrus, lesbian space crimes, Euphoria, bisexual chairs, the return of Lizzie McGuire and a dramatic reading of Kristen Stewart’s Vanity Fair profile. We also welcome new friends to the pod: Lana Del Rey, Normani, Autumn (a concept), all of the little women *tips bonnet* and say goodbye (or, see you soon) to one (?) ???☀️? Disclaimers:1. If you don't care about Taylor Swift you can skip to 15m2. This pod was recorded pre-hustlers, and will of course be giving it the service it deserves3. We are also very happy for Brie Larson

#9 - Gayest Summer Ever

Miley! Football! Taylor Swift! Penguins! We're back with the ultimate pride month recap. In this episode Abi says the word 'lesbian' over 100 times, we remix some pop into nu-metal (inspired by Ashley O) and also make some sweeping generalizations about sport. Plus Killing Eve, Euphoria and Kristen Stewart's wig.

#8 - Penguins, Ponies and Panic

"Light 'em up Luanne!" -  we're back, with an episode that was recorded some time ago but it was pride month and the rules of time don't apply! For this episode we're joined by critically acclaimed lesbian (and journalist) Sophie Wilkinson to discuss BOOKSMART (mostly) plus Gentleman Jack, music festivals, The L Word, internet trolls and more.

#7 - SHOOKSMART w/ Sophie Wilkinson

It's episode 6, a.k.a. the one with the sandwich! This week we're joined by LA's finest, Noah Champion Buck, to discuss sandwich-gate, Brie-Tessa-Lupita-Janelle-gate, James Charles, Taylor Swift, Dead To Me, Schitt's Creek and (somehow) even more. We also say cong-RATS to Mr. Ratburn and remix some Aly & AJ. 

#6 - "Enter Lupita" w/ Noah Champion Buck

It's number 5! And we're back with a bumper episode to celebrate the return of all things gay, including Captain Marvel via the Avengers, Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Killing Eve and Game of Thrones (debatable). We also take a deep dive into video game culture and answer the question on nobody's lips: who is the gayest Pokémon? 

#5 - Avengers Endga(y)me

It's Episode 4 and we've got our first ever guest! Due to a Spice Girls related emergency, we welcome commissioning editor of Guardian Weekend and #1 Spice Girls stan Joe Stone to the pod, whose credentials also include 3 mentions in Mel B’s book and a brief stint on Shipwrecked. As well as unpacking Mel B's latest revelation, we're chatting Stevie Nicks, Ga(y)me of Thrones, reality TV and #BrieLarsonWatch continues.

#4 - "It was the '90s!" w/ Joe Stone

Episode 3? You better brie-lieve it. This week we're talking Captain Marvel's not-so-secret gay subtext, JK Rowling rewriting gays into Harry Potter, the internet's 30th birthday and more. And we (almost) fixed our sound! Except for when Kate accidentally muted her microphone for 10 minutes because nobody's perfect, except Brie Larson of course.

#3 - "Brie is the Warmest Colour"

It's Episode 2 of But Make It Gay -  a bi-weekly pop culture podcast here to make your week a little more gay! This week we discuss the Jonas Brothers reunion, stan culture, Hannah Montana and the controversy surrounding Ariana Grande at Manchester Pride, and Hattie shows off her (half) Physics degree as we discuss the gayest planets. We're still having a few sound issues but hope that this week will be a little easier on the ears.

#2 - "Everything Jonas"

Our first podcast! We're Abi, Hattie and Kate and this is But Make It Gay - a bi-weekly pop culture podcast here to make your week a little more gay. Firstly - we'd like to apologise for the questionable sound quality on our first episode... we were so excited about getting the equipment to work (after 3 weeks of trying) that we popped some self-congratulatory champagne and forgot to check the microphone levels. It. And secondly, please do join us as we (somewhat chaotically) discuss Queen Elsa, Megan Barton-Hanson, Twilight, The Oscars (RIP Hattie), and more. We promise that next time we'll all have seen at least half of the subjects we're discussing, will have fixed the sound levels, and will remain as gay as ever. Lastly, shoutout to Fran Marchesi (@lettersandshapes) for the art and for helping us (quite literally) get our wires straight.

#1 - "Bi-light" (sorry about the sound)

A bi-weekly pop culture podcast, made gay by your hosts Kate, Abi and Hattie.
