In today's edition of Queer people have ALWAYS existed, Emily travels back to ancient Mesopotamia to meet the Goddess, Ishtar, a gender swapping entity of war, love, and life itself! Then, Kelley tells the wild story of moving-target Belle Boyd, a Confederate spy who taught an enslaved girl how to read, charged Confederates for booze, and married a Union Soldier. To stay the least, this gal is MESSY. Nod emphatically and beware the old Summer Wine Pack because we're wining about herstory!
