Episode 11: Pride Special - The History of Drag in America

Join me and a special guest, Amanda from the TikTok account YesterQueers, to discuss the history of the art form that is Drag in America. We discuss everything from the original Drag Queen, William Dorsey Swann, anti-crossdressing laws, to the heteronormative gender roles that Drag subverts, and how this all relates to the modern bans on Drag and bans on transgender healthcare in America today.

Audio clips in today's episode are from:
