ATNS: LGBTQIA+ Pride 2021 – Part 2: Kink
This year for our annual Pride discussion, we have a two-parter – previously we discussed Corporations. Now that we’ve told big business to fuck off with their pandering, let’s piss off even more people with our thoughts on kink being a part of Pride for the LGBTQIA community.
From COL previous guest Perrin on social media:
Perrin
So here’s the thing… cause it apparently needs to be said. Wearing a leash in public harms absolutely no one. It violates no consent.
This discourse reeks of “think of the children” and “no kink at Pride” and I’m not here for this sanitization.
For years these types of excuses were used to actively harm homosexuals, transfolk, and anyone else who didn’t fit the public’s perception of normal. Still to this day, we see people crying foul when anyone dares deviate from that norm.
Okay, y'all. This is going to be a very, very long thread because I am very, very tired of hearing "BDSM requires consent and therefore you Bad Queers should go back in the closet and leave Pride to us Good Clean Queers."
So we're gonna talk history, and we're gonna unpack shit.

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

Re: COL429: Power Hour 5: Drunk Cubs, The Next Birthday Bash – Oan R. Tacos and enchiladas. And more shirtless Gary.
Re: COL523: Power Hour 7: Jeff’s Birthday Basharino – Oan R. I’m scared. Drunk me is on the internet. Lol. For the record, I was good on shots until I reached the minute of my birthday. Then started skipping. (I also might’ve been trying to hold some of it down)
Name: Henry Message: Hi, guys. Still enjoying your podcast after all these years. (Although the one about trans acceptance did seem to go on & on and got on my nerves. Not sure if that’s because I’m personally uncomfortable with the subect, or just due to my habitual short attention span.)Anyhoo (to quote Damon), your call in COL515 for suggestions of topics for future shows made me think of one. Wonder what it was. In the time it took to seek out your website, go to Contact Us, fill in the top of this form, and type the preceding two paragraphs, it completely slipped my mind. [sigh] Age takes its toll…
Oh yeah, that’s it! You jokingly mentioned being together in a home, 50 years from now, and still putting out the podcast. It immediately brought to mind the subject of retirement homes for gay men, something that has been on my mind as I have aged. I have found none in the Atlanta area, and I wonder if they exist in other locales. If so, perhaps you could bring in a representative from one (a resident would be great) to talk about the concept, the demand, the challenges & rewards of getting them up & running, the general atmosphere in such a place, and whatever else y’all and the guest might think appropriate. None of us is getting younger, and “what do I do now?” is a question that increasingly comes up. Thanx for considering this. And keep on ‘castin’! Henry
Name: Mark Message: Thanks again for restoring a button to download the podcasts. Could you do that for episodes 512-516? Thanks! UrsusMajr (Mark)

Listen in as the guys give the lowdown on respect. Are we being respectful to ourselves and others? Where do respect and consent align? All these questions and more are answered.
