Queer Icons of History | #170


Listen Later

Welcome back to our final Wrath Month episode! This Pride series has been equal parts spicy, salty, and canonnically juicy—and the grand finale is no exception. In this episode, Caitlin Liz Fisher takes us on a storytelling frolic through queer history, unearthing the hidden and often deliberately erased queer identities of well-known historical figures. Spoiler alert: they were totally doing it, y’all!
