This month, taking a cue from the sultry, sensual heat of summer, Outward examines the venerable queer practice of cruising—for sex and sex work—in public space. First, hosts Christina Cauterucci, Jules Gill-Peterson, and Bryan Lowder make eyes at Park Cruising, a new essay collection on cruising in parks, which explores the pleasures, politics, and complexities of that gay pastime. Author Marcus McCann joins the hosts to discuss those themes. Then they head down to Christopher Street with the trans women of The Stroll, a new HBO documentary streaming on Max, as they revisit a time when New York’s now-gentrified Meatpacking District was rich with a unique and affirming form of sisterhood. Co-director Kristen Lovell stops by to discuss the making of the film. The hosts end the show, as always, with some new additions to the Gay Agenda.
Items discussed in the show:
“The Real Story of 303 Creative v. Elenis,” by Mark Joseph Stern in Slate
Outward’s Times Square billboard
A provocative chant at NYC Drag March
Park Cruising: What Happens When We Wander Off the Path, by Marcus McCann
The Stroll
The Lady and the Dale
Sylvia’s Place
Sylvia Rivera, Marsha P. Johnson, and STAR
Gay Agenda
Christina: Rock Hudson: All That Heaven Allowed from HBO
Jules: Hari Nef’s interviews about her role in Barbie
Bryan: Taylor Mac’s 24-Decade History of Popular Music (see also Hugh Ryan on the show’s history)
