Amy and Mitchell are rodeoing in Rhode Island! Well sort of. Ok, not at all. Mitchell shares anecdotes of Rhode Island, the state NOT the city. Providence, the capital city, has an openly gay mayor! Mitchell is going home and Amy wants to go on his next journey. Can you foresee a roadtrip? Where does Mitchell rank on the Kinsey scale? He’s having some un-gay thoughts for a couple gals Amy knows. What is Amy’s little cowgirl fantasy?

Guest: Michael Cunningham, co-director of the Windy City Rodeo, joins Amy on today’s Queercast. The Rodeo is coming to Chicago and it’s GAY! Michael shares the origins and details of this fun-tastic experience. People from all walks of life are invited to spend the weekend in Crete, Illinois to enjoy all the events, which include, bareback bronc riding, bull riding, steer riding, barrel racing and of course putting panties on a goat. No, really, it’s their most competitive event! Michael also discusses the charity partners that benefit from this event. Did Brokeback Mountain influence the attendance and interest in rodeo? Do you need a place to wear your western gear? This is a great opportunity for cowboys and cowgirls to compete, so come out and cheer them on during the weekend of August 22nd thru the 24th.
