From opera houses to niche legends, LGBTQ+ culture has always gone hand-in-hand with popular media and the arts. Icons like Tina Turner, Keith Haring, and Lady Gaga aren’t just outlets for mindless entertainment; they’re beacons of self-expression and defiant confidence that shine across borders AND generations.

This week, the Old Gays pay tribute to the icons and artists who shaped them, reflect on early memories of queer representation, and share heartfelt musings about their own creative ventures, including making their viral videos (naked or not). 

What do The Old Gays really think about social media and the internet? Which legendary diva got her start in a gay bathhouse? And how well can our four fellas decode Gen-Z lingo? Let’s just say: this week, The Old Gays “left no crumbs” on the mic.
