Episode 2 of Season 9 profiles Dorian Corey. One of Paris Is Burning's most quotable characters, Corey's life helps us explore the history of drag from balls for enslaved people in the 1870s to today. And when she died, friends found a mummified body in her closet. badgayspod.com/episode-arch...

Season 9 is here! And it's LITTLE RICHARD, who contained multitudes: a pioneering rock and roll musician, a conservative preacher from the deep South, and a young Black queer man thrown out of his home who became a drag performer under the name Princess LaVonne.

Good history is largely about making educated guesses and showing your work. And always remember: sex changes.
@queerasfact.bsky.social will make their own best pronoun interpretation of the evidence and @badgayspod.bsky.social will sometimes make a different one! It's the TERFy bioessentialism piece of the quoted's strawman post where one 'side' goes wrong. History and gender is rarely so cut and dry.

This is where gay guys come from. This is the language they speak.

I would be willing to bet that in many of the jurisdictions where Epstein and Maxwell were reportedly engaged in sex trafficking, law enforcement was getting these trafficking grants and doing these trafficking trainings, for years

one of the most infuriating parts of the Epstein story is over the same years that young women went to police and reported assault, and were ignored, law enforcement is pushing this idea that they need massive grants and manpower to rescue thousands of girls they say don’t even know they’re victims

stay tuned 👁️👁️
Never ask a man his salary.
Never ask a woman her age.
Never ask Dorian Corey what’s in her closet.
