This episode explores the complexity of cultural identity, questioning what it means to be "culturally queer" and how this intersects with concepts of cultural appropriation.

Dr. Ari and Mx. Pucks also delve into the vital role of flagging within the Queer community—a practice used not only to express identity but also to find safety and connection among peers. They discuss the delicate balance between allyship and overshadowing the voices of marginalized communities, posing important questions about the responsibilities of allies in Queer spaces.

Join "Dapper Qunt" for a candid conversation that navigates the boundaries between appreciation and appropriation, encouraging listeners to reflect on their own interactions with Queer culture and the impact of their allyship.
