We first get into a discussion about his informative and humorous podcast "Queer History 101" that he co-hosts with performer Peppermint (who should return to The Traitors, but that's a conversation for another episode)! Peppermint and Hugh work so well together because Peppermint is an expert at the current political moment for trans and queer folks, which balances Hugh's slightly more introverted (his terminology haha) historical research. Definitely listen to it after hearing our conversation! We discuss how Hugh's book combines personal memoir with cultural history and how his cover (featuring an ancient Greek statue and cassette tape) represents the analog to digital transition that happens from the 1990s to the early 2000s. The 90s was the last pre-digital era, and Hugh argues that 90s nostalgia among Gen Z and millennials stems primarily from remembering a time before we all were living in a constant age of connectivity (when everyone had their cell phones on them at all times). Hugh talks about what it was like growing up in the 90s where queer life existed in physical spaces like the gayborhood (featuring bars, bookstores, and clubs). What can we learn from Hugh's book about how to live in a digital world while also recognizing the importance of physical spaces?

Harry Styles is regularly accused of 'queerbaiting' - from his clothing to his music videos. Actors in the TV shows 'Heated Rivalry' and 'Heartstopper' have faced similar allegations. And people online are debating whether it's okay to make these sorts of claims. But what does 'queerbaiting' mean? Adam Fleming speaks to Justin Bengry, who specialises in Queer History at King's College London.

It's Trans History Week in the UK, so we're taking you back to one of our first and favourite episodes ever from Season 1.This is the unbelievably wild life story of the Chevalier d'Éon: transgender spy, soldier, and sleuth of the French Enlightenment.Assigned male at birth, Charles eventually transitioned to become Charlotte, before discovering the humiliating constraints of life as an 18th century woman. She later escaped the French Revolution and lived out her final days in London, writing her memoirs (CHIC) and fighting master swordsmen on stage – in a dress! – for extra cash.

In this powerful episode, LGBTQ+ historian and collector Adrian Cardwell shares how his project, Badge of Pride, is preserving 30 years of queer history to ensure our stories are never forgotten. From the AIDS crisis to modern-day equality movements, Adrian's journey reminds us that visibility, unity, and storytelling are the backbone of our community's strength. We explore what it means to protect queer archives, how personal stories shape collective progress, and why showing up—especially in politically divisive times—matters more than ever. Our stories aren't just history—they're our legacy, our power, and our connection to each other. 3 Key Takeaways From This Episode: How storytelling and archiving protect LGBTQ+ legacy and visibility. The role of Badge of Pride in connecting and empowering queer communities. Why unity and solidarity are vital to progress in challenging political times. About Adrian Adrian Cardwell is the founder and executive director of Badge Of Pride, an organization dedicated to activating LGBTQ+ history through artifacts and storytelling. For more than 30 years, Adrian has been building a nationally significant collection of Queer history—over 10,000 artifacts—through relationships with LGBTQ+ activists and communities around the world. After a more than 25-year career in corporate leadership, directing national sales and marketing for a global telecommunications firm and serving on international committees to expand broadband access in underserved and conflict-affected regions, Adrian pivoted in 2022 to launch Badge Of Pride. His goal: to bring this collection out of the shadows and into public spaces as a tool for truth-telling, resistance, and connection. He is the curator of Badge Of Pride: From Silence…To Celebration!, the largest artifact-centered exhibition of LGBTQ+ history ever presented in Texas, and a bold counterpoint to today's climate of censorship and cultural erasure.

June is Pride Month around the world but does India need to march to that calendar? More Indian cities now hold Pride in winter, when it's cooler and the streets are fuller. And that practical shift opens a bigger question, why has India so often taken its cues from the West when our own queer histories run deep?And this week host Sandip Roy is joined by writer Sindhu Rajasekaran, whose new book traces how the British reformed and silenced India's queer futures, to take a look at erased lineages and what they mean for Pride in India.Produced by Shashank BhargavaEdited and mixed by Suresh Pawar

LGBTQ+ history has long been overlooked, ignored, or actively erased, leaving us with only fragments of a past that deserves to be preserved and celebrated. That absence makes historical fiction a meaningful platform for reclaiming space and allowing queer characters to exist in time periods that have traditionally denied their presence or humanity.In this episode, Jeza Belle, a New York City-based drag queen and author of The Freedom to Love, joins us to discuss the power of storytelling through historical fiction and the importance of preserving LGBTQIA+ narratives in overlooked time periods.Related Episodes:Listen to Episode 145.

Wait, what's so gay about witches, you ask?First of all — sit down.When I was a young f/hag in the late '90s, Wicca was having a moment. The Halliwell sisters ruled the WB, Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock were burying men in their back gardens, and I gobbled the GAGathon down with glee.Only later did I realize what made these witchy bitchies so alluring: it wasn't (just) that they were different — it was that they were powerful.Outsiders who could fight back. Like the X-men...or democratic socialists.But were they always outsiders? No! In the ancient world, everyone dabbled in magic. Pagans love a hag with a herb garden.Then Christianity came along and ruined everything. AS ALWAYS.By the 20th century, witchcraft was beginning to mean "freedom" to a lot of repressed Westerners. Which might explain why nearly half of Wiccans today identify as queer.Join us for this Halloween special as we trace The Craft™ from ancient love spells to Victorian occultists, with brilliant guest Professor Marion Gibson.Together we ask:

A late night knock. A false report. An arrest that should never have happened. And a landmark case that would change the lives for millions of queer Americans. What began as a humiliating raid in a small Houston apartment would ignite a legal battle that reshaped queer life in America. In 1998, John Geddes Lawrence and Tyron Garner were dragged from Lawrence's home and charged under a Texas law that criminalized their very existence. They were not activists. They were not politicians. They were ordinary men caught in an extraordinary injustice that exposed how fragile freedom could be when queerness was treated as a crime.This case, Lawrence v. Texas, became a turning point in LGBTQ+ history. It struck at the heart of sodomy laws still on the books in more than a dozen states. In this episode, we trace the humiliating arrest, the years of legal battles, and the cultural shockwaves that followed. The story reveals how one case helped dismantle centuries of stigma and changed the landscape for queer rights in the United States. This is queer history, true crime, and justice colliding in one of the most important cases in American law.Hosted by Jordi and Brad, Beers With Queers brings chilling crimes, queer stories, and twisted justice to light all with a cold one in hand.Press play, grab a drink, and join us as we uncover the darkest corners of LGBTQ+ history.
