COL589: Losing Our ‘Gay’ Spaces

Leave a comment

In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, Jeff forgets to turn on his mic and the cubs are joined by returning guest Drew to discuss a rather impactful topic. Before and during the pandemic, LGBTQ+ spaces have been shutting their doors as it becomes financially difficult to maintain them. Listen in as the guys share their thoughts on what the true cost of losing these spaces might be and how others may be able to survive post-COVID.

Show Topic

As the pandemic swept across the globe, LGBTQ+ spaces in the US faced financial devastation. From online fundraising, new owners, to closures – what have we lost? Will the community be able to recover in the future when pandemic is behind us? 

Some of the known closures include:

  • Cuties, Flaming Saddles, Gold Coast, Gym Bar, Rage – West Hollywood, California, USA
  • Menz & Mollyz Bar – Halifax, Alberta, Canada 
  • Boom! Nightclub – Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada 
  • DC Eagle – Washington, D.C., USA
  • Stud, San Francisco, California, USA
  • Parliament House, Orlando, Florida, USA

COL569: LTAS: Bubbles/Pods

Leave a comment

In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, it’s time for another Let’s Talk About Sex show. For this one, the guys discuss the concept of sex bubbles or sexpods, a safer sex practice of maintaining social/sexy time with a smaller group of people to help keep yourselves protected during the pandemic. Listen in as the guys tell more about “quaranteaming” and debate on its potential effectiveness. When thinking about it, is it really new or just necessary?

Show Topic

Sex Bubbles/Pods 

  • Definition?
  • Safety?
  • Potential?
  • Interest?

How to Form a Pandemic Pod | Greater Good 

“quarantine pods” as an effective way to get our social, emotional, familial, and sexual needs met without unnecessarily endangering ourselves or others. Pods are small, self-contained networks of people who limit their non-distanced social interaction to one another—in other words, they’re the small group of people with whom you share air without using breath-control precautions such as masks.

Pods (or “bubbles” or “containers” or “quaranteams”) aren’t just ways for people to have social connections within a pandemic. They also serve an important epidemiological purpose—they help limit the size and spread of outbreaks. That’s one reason why in the Bay Area, where the authors live, public health officials recommend that pods be no larger than 12 people who live across three households, and that pods limit their non-distanced social contact to one another for at least three weeks.

Despite the centrality of sex to our lives, many of us are ashamed of having sexual needs. This is tragic, because we should be no more ashamed of needing sexual contact than we should be of needing food. So, be honest with yourself and others: If you want to form a pod to meet sexual needs, say so, rather than concealing or minimizing that purpose.
