Wicked Queer 37
Who doesn't need a laugh right now? We’re happy to bring you a program that will have you second guessing if you're on a date or not, figuring out if breaking into your crush’s apartment to delete an email you accidentally sent is a good idea, or being more interested in your ex getting engaged instead of the zombie apocalypse happening outside.
