Bad Gays

S9E3 just dropped: it's Charles Hitchen, who played both sides of a corrupt, pay-to-play criminal justice system in Georgian England, all while touring through London's infamous "molly houses," back rooms of taverns or gin houses, where queer men could meet and cruise. badgayspod.com/episode-arch...

Episode 2 of Season 9 profiles Dorian Corey. One of Paris Is Burning's most quotable characters, Corey's life helps us explore the history of drag from balls for enslaved people in the 1870s to today. And when she died, friends found a mummified body in her closet. badgayspod.com/episode-arch...

Season 9 is here! And it's LITTLE RICHARD, who contained multitudes: a pioneering rock and roll musician, a conservative preacher from the deep South, and a young Black queer man thrown out of his home who became a drag performer under the name Princess LaVonne.

This is where gay guys come from. This is the language they speak.

haha what if we dropped a special episode tomorrow and this was your clue

I would be willing to bet that in many of the jurisdictions where Epstein and Maxwell were reportedly engaged in sex trafficking, law enforcement was getting these trafficking grants and doing these trafficking trainings, for years

one of the most infuriating parts of the Epstein story is over the same years that young women went to police and reported assault, and were ignored, law enforcement is pushing this idea that they need massive grants and manpower to rescue thousands of girls they say don’t even know they’re victims

stay tuned 👁️👁️

Season 9 🤓
