Sweet Baby Gay

In this episode of Sweet Baby Gay, we have a special crossover episode with the hosts of Always the Last to Know, Katy and Ashley. Together, we explore the life of one of the most iconic women in American history: Eleanor Roosevelt.While Eleanor is celebrated for her political achievements and her role as First Lady, there is a lesser-known side to her story that we delve into: her possible relationships with women. We examine the evidence that suggests Eleanor was a sapphic woman, including her close relationship with journalist Lorena Hickok (Hick) and others.However, we also acknowledge the complexity of labelling someone's sexuality without their explicit consent. While we cannot put a label onto Eleanor, we can look at the evidence and speculate what stories she could not tell. As we trace Eleanor's life beyond her marriage to Franklin D. Roosevelt, we discuss her political activism and her creation of the Val-Kill cottage as a space for women to gather and work. We also reflect on the ways in which queer history is often erased or overlooked in mainstream narratives, and the importance of uncovering these hidden stories.Tune in to this thought-provoking episode as we celebrate the legacy of Eleanor Roosevelt and explore the nuances of sexuality and identity in history.Find the AL2K Podcast here: Apple PodcastInstagram Support the show

This week on Sweet Baby Gay we are here to talk about the history of the Gay Rights Movement and the Supreme Court of the United States.With everything happening in America within the past week, we thought it would be a good time to go through the Gay Rights court cases in the Supreme Court that have given us the rights we have today. Many of these writes have been determined with reference to Roe v Wade, so they could be at risk when the case is over turned. For our community, we believe it is best that we all stay educated and up to date about our rights. We did not make it through all the cases we wanted to, so this is only Part 1! Part 2 will be out next week. Find sources used on our website, SweetBabyGay.comThe cases covered in this episode:1958 - One, Inc. v Olesen 1971 - Baker v Nelson1986 - Bowers v Hardwick1995 - Hurley v Irish-American Gay, Lesbian, and Bisexual Group of Boston1996 - Romer v Evans1998 - Oncale v Sundowner Offshore Services, Inc. Support the show

This week on Sweet Baby Gay we have on Samantha, the Late Lesbian Curiosity Coach, to talk about Compulsory Heterosexuality and how sexuality and gender norms can affect the queer community.
