In this episode we’ll be doing a deep dive into the wide world of ascetics and anchorites, hermits and holy fools, monks and martyrs and the many among their ranks who seemed to live and love just like us. *St. Joan of Arc is an obvious contender for this episode, however we already covered their story in Episode Four: Mulan and His Comrades. And if you start talking queers and saints one of the first hits you’ll get are Sts. Sergius and Bacchus, however they will be covered in an upcoming episode “Warrior Lovers”.
