Together Real Bad

LGBTQIA But the "B" is Silent

In this heartfelt and hilarious episode of Together Real Bad, Beautifulll and Ace dive deep into the complexities of bisexuality, identity, and love in queer relationships — inspired by a real conversation with our incredible Airbnb guest, Demita Frazier! 🏡✨
🎙 Topics Covered:
When Beautifulll first realized her attraction to women
The struggles of reconciling bisexuality with religious upbringing
First experiences with women and evolving relationship dynamics
How being bisexual is perceived differently within the LGBTQIA+ community
Navigating labels, fluidity, and boundaries in committed relationships
Why being with a woman doesn't erase bisexual identity
Conversations about attraction, trust, and relationship security
Funny date night stories, life updates, and late-night diaries
PLUS: We recap an amazing evening at the Queer News Podcast Salon hosted by E3 Radio’s Anna (DeShawn), celebrate Lesbian Visibility Week, and shout out to our Flag Football fam for showing up and showing love! 🏳️‍🌈🏈
🎨 We also talk about visiting the Black Creativity Exhibit at the Museum of Science and Industry, and support Black-owned businesses like 14 Parish!
🎧 Tune in if you’ve ever wondered:
Can bisexual people feel erased in relationships?
How does dating as a bisexual woman feel different?
How do you maintain individuality and sexual identity within long-term queer relationships?
And most importantly... what does mermaid bathwater taste like? 🧜‍♀️

The Blame Game

 
**Patreon Episode - Visuals***patreon.com/c/TogetherRealBad
In this Patreon episode of Together Real Bad, Beautifulll and Ace get real about navigating blame in relationships—from late-night matcha disasters to emotional misfires and unspoken expectations.
We kick things off with a check-in on work, wellness, and that one neighbor who might just be a villain. Then we get personal about family brunches, coming out, and why setting emotional traps (even unintentionally) never ends well.
💥 This episode dives deep into:
Why blaming your partner never works
Talking through conflict without pointing fingers
Taking ownership (even when it’s not your fault… but it kinda is)
Ego vs. understanding: what makes or breaks a healthy fight
A hilarious and chaotic story about makeup, candy, and a hyped-up Yorkie Poo
🗓 Plus: updates on our live podcast salon with Queer News & E3 Radio, a Black-owned BBQ spotlight, pop culture recs (hello Love on the Spectrum), and the Netflix show we won’t be recommending.

It’s easy to get caught up in love, but sometimes, in the process of building a life with a partner, parts of personal identity can start to fade. In this episode of Together Real Bad, hosts Beautifulll and Ace take a deep dive into what it means to maintain individuality in a long-term relationship.
Three years into their journey, they reflect on the question: Are they still the same people they were at the start, or have they lost pieces of themselves along the way? This conversation isn’t about relationship struggles—it’s about growth, self-awareness, and ensuring that love doesn’t come at the cost of personal identity.
