*Content warning: In this episode, we discuss sexual abuse, incest and murder.

In case you were confused, drag is not misogynistic! Even when it's a "man mocking periods"! This week on BICONIC, we dig into some gay-on-gay Instagram beef from the "Selling Sunset" world. And we look into Ryan Murphy's highly controversial new season of "Monsters" which kind-of-not-really tells the story of the Menendez Brothers murder case.

We're talking about the Olympics again, obvi. Was the opening ceremony blasphemous? How is Grindr protecting queer athletes? Are the cardboard beds really stopping anyone from hooking up? And, we look into some discourse surrounding Futch Night, specifically allegations that the event caters only to white lesbian Swifties. Lastly, weirdos are trying to slut-shame people who take PrEP, so we thought this would be the perfect time for a crash course on the HIV/AIDs epidemic. Know your queer history before acting a fool online!!
