Dr. Eric Cervini, LGBTQ historian and author of The Deviant's War, joins Brent, Eliot and H. Alan to discuss Queer Studies 101. Also, does Coronavirus feel eerily familiar to the queer community? Is it a coincidence that Dr. Fauci was at the front lines of the AIDS crisis, too? And when it comes to irrational childhood fears, the hosts point to Eliot as being the standout considering his wildly long list of triggers, from marshmallows to Dom DeLuise to "the internet" to the commercial jingle for Tums: tummm, tum-tum-tum TUMS! But don't count out Brent and H. Alan just yet... Learn more about your ad choices. Visit <a href="https://megaphone.fm/adchoices">megaphone.fm/adchoices</a>

Dr. Eric Cervini

Although ​performing ​stand-up comedy ​was what initially united ​Eliot, Brent, and H. Alan over 10 years ago​, it’s their ​openness ​(​and ​sense of humor) about feeling ​totally ​lost ​and disconnected from the gay community that’s truly bonded them. ​On YMIW, ​Eliot, Brent and H. Alan get down and dirty, exploring the ​good, bad, and ugly ​tropes of contemporary gay life, often the stuff that no one -- especially ​​​straight people -- discuss for fear of being labeled homophobic. (Don’t worry. ​They’ll do that for you.) Each episode features ​a special guest ​-​- comedians, humorists, musicians, influencers, film/TV writers, journalists, politicians, etc. - as well as allies, enemies, and acquaintances from all backgrounds and professions, not just those in the public eye. And as white​, urban-dwelling ​gay ​dudes in their ​thirties, Eliot, Brent and H. Alan​ check their own privilege at the door, eager to ​instead explore what life looks ​for those not afforded the same concessions.
