Ready for another round of Here & Queer, dear? The entire second season of our LGBTQ-focused interview series is now available on CBC Gem, with host Peter Knegt sitting down with some of the world's most talented queer creatives — past, present and future.

At a time when LGBTQ people in Canada and around the world are facing an increase in hostility and a decrease in safe spaces, Here & Queer debuted in September 2022 in an effort to celebrate and amplifies queer artists. The first season included conversations with Billy Eichner, Tegan and Sara, Bilal Biag and Matt Rogers, while the second invites a whole new roster to the big queer couch: Elliot Page, Sasha Velour, Kristen Lovell, Devery Jacobs, Jordan Gavaris, Ally Pankiw, Steve J. Adams, Sean Horlor, Vuk Lungulov-Klotz, Joseph Amenta, Stephen Winter and Bruce LaBruce.

You can watch all 11 episodes on CBC Gem now. You can also catch the first few episodes of the third season, which is currently being released biweekly on our YouTube channel and will be available on Gem in its entirely in 2024.
