A Big Gay Case (Dorian Corey) & The Murder of Venus Stewart
Episode description
Hello Friends!
Welcome back. This week, I talk with my guest Mikey about the drag queen with a mummy in her closet, and a case he has a personal connection to.
Today's first case inspired an episode of Pose, an excellent show from FX inspired by the ballroom and LGBT+ communities in New York in the 70's, 80's and 90's. Paris Is Burning is also referenced, and Dorian Corey and others mentioned are interviewed at length.
CW : Transphobia, murder, homophobia, murder, improper disposal of remains
