She Started It: Barbara Daly Baekeland and Antony Baekeland (Ep.62)

Send J. Harvey a text! (Try to be nice, but I get it, everyone's a little cranky sometimes...) Barbara Daly Baekeland was a glamorous American socialite who thought she could de-gay her mentally ill son Antony Baekeland with her own novel form of conversion therapy. It didn't work out well for either of them. *sad face* Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched! Start for FREE Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

Salt Lake City, 1978: Anthony Adams and Douglas Coleman (Ep. 61)

Send J. Harvey a text! (Try to be nice, but I get it, everyone's a little cranky sometimes...) Anthony Adams and Douglas Coleman were two gay men murdered in separate, unsolved crimes in Salt Lake City in November 1978 — the same month Harvey Milk was assassinated. Basically, the universe turned to gay dudes and said "this isn't your month, babe." Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched! Start for FREE Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

Send J. Harvey a text! (Try to be nice, but I get it, everyone's a little cranky sometimes...) Hello! So, Buzzsprout has this Fan Mail feature that I've been totally ignoring. But some of you have actually used it! So I thought it would be cute to respond to some of your fan mail. Thank you for writing in, and thank you for listening. You guys are the literal best. Note I used the word "literal" to signify I really, really mean it. I'm being sincere here, which is sometimes difficult for me beca...

Which is interesting, cuz' one of my other favorite tv shows is Buffy the Vampire Slayer . And my other favorite is Hannibal . I might be morbid, or I might just have EXCELLENT TASTE IN TELEVISION.

Welcome to Corpsewood Manor (Ep. 59)

Send J. Harvey a text! (Try to be nice, but I get it, everyone's a little cranky sometimes...) Deep in the Georgia woods, a devil-worshipping (don't be judgey, now) gay couple built a kinky Satanic sex palace and lived off the land. They made their own wine, threw fabulous dinner parties and certain guests experienced the infamous pink room over the chicken coop. Then they made the mistake of befriending a troubled young man who decided they had money to steal. The name of their home? Corpsewood...

Closet Crisis: Ed Koch (Ep.58)

Send J. Harvey a text! (Try to be nice, but I get it, everyone's a little cranky sometimes...) Ed Koch was the semi-beloved mayor of New York City from 1977 to 1989. I say semi-beloved because NYC's gay community didn't appreciate how he, as a closeted gay man, was doing the bare minimum when it came to the AIDS pandemic. P.S. You can check out Wicked Gay's very first VIDEO episode on Patreon (link below)! Have I said the music for Wicked Gay is by Pixaby, and the theme song is by Gino and the G...

Don't do it.I don't care if Mackenzie the coolest girl in school who says you can be in one of her incredibly popular Tik-Toks, maybe even one of the makeup tutorial ones, asks you to do it, don't do meth.

Oh, and your host gets kinda angry, a little sappy and pathetic but pretty real. Stick around for when he defends the trans community by denigrating Harry Potter. I love June.

Pier Paolo Pasolini was a poet, novelist, filmmaker, and one of Italy's most celebrated (and most controversial) figures. He was murdered by a teenage hustler in 1975. Or was he? Well, the murder part happened, but was it committed by the Freemasons? The Catholic Church? The Mafia? The Italian government? Pasolini had a lot of anti-fans. Let's find out. Music by Pixaby.

In fact, this is your favorite problematic podcast's favorite problematic podcast! Herb Baumeister was one weird dude.

He was also gay. I can't reconcile the two either, but I was raised to believe that all gay people are pious do-gooders. Therefore, a gay Nazi is just insane to me. (Some of that is sarcasm.)
