In the fifth and final episode before Christmas, Tom speaks with Huw Lemmey and Ben Miller, the hosts of Bad Gays podcast about the resignation of right-wing Hungarian MEP József Szájer.
Bad Gays is a podcast about "evil and complicated queers in history." The show has 4 seasons and has covered people such as Benjamin Britten, Gertrude Stein, Morrissey and many, many more.
For this episode, the discussion was pegged to the news story of József Szájer — a long-term member of Hungary's far-right ruling Fidesz Party which has passed a series of laws persecuting the freedoms of the LGBTQ community. In December, Szájer's resigned from the party after being caught at a reported gay sex party in Brussels.
Tom, Huw and Ben discuss this story and explore some of the other main themes from the Bad Gays podcast.
