Kickass Queers

King James, Part 1: Young Men That Lie in His Bedchamber


Listen Later

Home for the holidays? Ruin Christmas dinner with our very first holiday special, in which we'll be getting to know the king who united Great Britain, commissioned the world's most popular Bible, spared England and Scotland the horrors of a devastating war, and had a succession of male lovers that scandalized his court and privy council.

In the first half, Larry walks us through the remarkable circumstances of James' birth and early life, and introduces us to the duke who stole James' heart--and gave him his own, in return.

Fair warning: This episode contains witchhunts and bad Jimmy Stewart impressions.

Kickass Queers shares the incredible life stories of amazing lesbian, gay, transgender, gender-nonconforming and otherwise queer people.
