A history, most Queer episodes

  • Ozaawindib
    Today kicks off our celebration of First American Queer Historical figures. This week, Ozaawindib, someone who would definitely fall into the two spirit category of humans, was a hard party animal, while also fighting for their people's survival, and all while bending some serious gender norms.

  • Scream Queens Part 1

    This is part 1 of a conversation with a friend, Kyle Donovan, about the good, the bad, and the ugly of queer characters and themes in horror films. I don't know which is scarier to contemplate this Halloween season; the terror from the plots, or the fear around the queer?

  • Jeanne Córdova
    Jeanne Córdova was a hispanic American lesbian powerhouse. Not only did her vast writing and publishing bring together queer folks across the nation, helping to connect people like never before, but her activism against hateful anti-LGBTQIA+ legislation and work to bring the Democratic Party to embracing the queer liberation movement helped to ensure the queer community would have freedom and recognition.

  • Queer Mayans
    Chin is a god who waves around an ample erection and has a love for men who have the same. The Tonsured Maize God changed not only gender over time, but also changes from maize to cacao. Veggies and Chocolate, what more is there to ask for? These Maya stories connect even to the LGBTQIA+ Maya that are alive and thriving today.

  • Cesar Romero
    While Cesar Romero will probably be forever associated with his role as the villainous Joker in the Batman television series of the 1960s, his career was far more varied and interesting than just that one character. His relatively open gay life had him involved romantically with a few other Hollywood stars. I would like to give a special thanks to the book, Hollywood Gays, by Boze Hadleigh as well as Pixabay for their fun background music.

  • Biological Determinism
    For centuries, hatred has used a variety of things as weapons against marginalized people. Religion has been used far longer, but science is now another tool usurped for nefarious ends. We will look at some prime examples of eugenicist policies that have been used against people of color as well as the LGBTQIA+ community.

  • Charlotte Von Mahlsdorf Part 2
    Here is the second part of the interview with Dr. Erik Huneke regarding queer life in Berlin, and the life of Charlotte Von Mahlsdorf. It was a wonderful conversation and I hope all of you enjoy the history of the fascinating historical figure.

  • Charlotte Von Mahlsdorf
    For this week's episode, we are looking at the life of a trans historical figure whose life stretched from the post First World War Berlin, with it rather accepting atmosphere, to the Berlin of Nazi Germany, and then to a city split in two-one half capitalist and under the protection of NATO, to the other half, Communist and under the protection of the USSR. With all of the wild changes, Charlotte was able to carve out a niche for herself and other queer folk to have some semblance of authentic living. This is the first part of her story. The guest speaker is Dr. Erik Huneke. He is a professor at the University of Central Oklahoma and specializes in German history and the history of the Eastern Bloc.
