Why is Disney's Hercules one of the greatest LGBTQ+ films ever made? This episode attempts to answer that fraught and necessary question. As you may know, Hercules (1997) is a story about a small-town girl who goes to the big city to discover himself, become famous, land a few sponsorship deals, and build a chosen family in an imperfect world. It's like All About Eve but with much, much better mus...

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 differe...

Remember when you found out you were gay (iconic of you btw) and you thought: "Oh this is fine – I'll just have a regular heterosexual wife, a couple of kids, and a very elaborate sex life on the side." Just me? OK, fine. But the question remains: why do little gay children like me grow up assuming a straight nuclear family is our only option? Has family always been one man, one woman, and a coupl...

"Hollywood was swarming with gay people." You know how Pedro Pascal hasn't come out yet? Well: this episode will explain why. Between the 1930s and 1960s, the Hays Code banned “sexual perversion” of all kinds from the silver screen, which (spoiler alert) meant queers. That has bequeathed us a predominantly homophobic industry in Hollywood, even if the stars and culture have always been decidedly –...

"An important precedent was set: fascist groups will always use you until you're no longer useful to them." Welcome to one of history’s darkest (and dumbest) closets: fascists who are also, annoyingly, gay. From Hitler’s Brownshirt boy toy, Ernst Röhm , to closeted McCarthyists like Roy Cohn , to lesbian “nationalist” hypocrites like Alice Weidel — it seems that the 20th and 21st centuries gave ri...

With our guest this week, Robert St. Clair, we’ll unpack: The social revoluti...

We all know James Baldwin the high priest of Civil Rights, but what about Jimmy B, the extremely horny homosexual?

"Make love, take a bath, make love again." That was Frida Kahlo’s motto—and sweetie, she LIVED by it. We all know about Frida’s messy, horny marriage to Diego “Toad Face” Rivera and her revenge fling with Leon Trotsky. But what about the women? The affairs, the crushes, the rumors, the gossip that turned her into Mexico’s most iconic bisexual? This week, we’re serving you a slutty portrait of the...

"Love was the foundation of everything for Frida. This bisexuality, this eroticism was fundamental to her character." She’s on your ex-girlfriend’s tote bag, your niece’s notebook, and probably a few questionable dorm-room tapestries. But behind the unibrow is a Frida Kahlo you don’t know: a bisexual, communist, pain-embracing rascal who painted from her gut and fucked whomstsoever she pleased. Th...
