Have some thoughts.As a recovering classicist and practicing homosexual, my take is pretty simple: this is not our Odyssey.As a pacifist and optimistic believer that humanity deserves to take care of herself, even in these dark hours, I think this film is timely and to some degree, quite moving.Nolan may not have given us an Odyssey that any self-respecting, fun-loving, faggocious mythology nerd will treasure...but he does make some good points that we all need to hear.This is above all an Odyssey for Trump's America, and while it is joyless, austere, and bleak (aka pure Nolan) – we should listen to what his Lordship the Dark Knight has to say.WARNING.

Judson celebrates the Knicks' victory from afar, while Brian is largely oblivious to it during a hookup that takes place outside his usual area of operations and timeframe. Judson recounts his sexy week and educates Brian on what it means to participate in Daddy-Daddy play. The Hookup of the Week comes from a listener who finds a great hookup on The Blowers while traveling, proving that it is better to give than to receive. The two are then joined by podcaster and documentarian Jess Rothschild, creator and executive producer of the GLAAD Award-nominated docu-series Finding Fire Island, now in its second season—with many episodes featuring Judson! Jess tells Brian and Judson how she came to fall in love with Fire Island, why she felt it was important to document its deep history, and asks each host to share their Fire Island origin stories. She also shares her views on 12-step programs, explains how she is attracted to women but prefers the company of gay men, and discusses the differences in how lesbians and gay men approach sex and openness. Finally, Jess helps Brian and Judson respond to a "Go Ask Your Dad" question from a listener who has found a spark with someone online but is unsure whether or not he should remind this person that they interacted years earlier—and that it ended on a sour note.

More Americans than ever identify as LGBTQ+, but the story of acceptance in the United States is becoming more complicated. As Pride Month comes to a close, we look at new polling that shows LGBTQ+ visibility at a record high, while public acceptance has slipped in recent years, and we are joined by Michael Bronski, whose landmark book, A Queer History of the United States for Young People, has just been re-released in a revised and expanded 15th anniversary edition. The updated volume now spans more than 500 years of history, bringing the story of LGBTQ+ Americans into the 21st century. We discuss how recent data also points to a widening partisan divide over LGBTQ+ rights, same-sex relationships, and transgender Americans. Finally, we wrap up with a lighter topic: would Americans rather have an extra week of vacation or an extra week of pay?

For generations, many 2SLGBTQ+ stories were left out of history books, archives, and classrooms, raising questions about whose experiences are preserved and whose are forgotten. Now, some educators are working to recover that history before more of it is lost. Ian Duncan, a history teacher at Garth Webb Secondary School in Oakville, joins Jeyan to discuss how students are helping uncover, document, and share Canada's queer history. Then, Windsor teacher Chris Rabideau explains how a local project is preserving 2SLGBTQ+ stories from the community, one story at a time, and why documenting these experiences matters for future generations.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On June 28th, 1969, New York City police expected another routine raid on a gay bar. Instead, they found a community that had finally had enough. This week, we explore the long history of anti-LGBTQ+ persecution in America, the explosive events of the Stonewall Riots, and how a few nights of resistance helped ignite the modern fight for queer liberation.

If you have not read A Black Queer History of the United States yet, you are so lucky to have this fantastic book in your future! And lucky for me that this is also an excellent opportunity to speak to two dream guests: C. Riley Snorton and Darius Bost speak about gender trouble in the Black queer archives, how Black and queer histories need to be thought together and why grounding oneself in community is part of what it means to survive.  References:C. Riley Snorton and Darius Bost's A Black Queer History of the United States (2026)C. Riley Snorton's Nobody is Supposed to Know: Black Sexuality on the Down Low (U of Minnesota Press, 2014)C.

How are they sometimes separated?     Darius speaks about the book having two parts. What is each about?     Riley speaks about gender and sexual deviance as forms of survival or escape. What does this mean? Can you name an example?     What does Darius say about the relationship between civil rights ideology and non-normative gender?     Why is it important to speak about collectives as well as individuals when engaging with Black queer history?

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.

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.

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:
