About Bad Gays

\n\n

Bad Gays is a podcast about evil and complicated queers in history. From Alexander the Great to J. Edgar Hoover\, our history is littered with them. Unlike the easy heroes\, however &mdash\; people like Oscar Wilde\, Audre Lorde\, or Alan Turing &mdash\; we rarely remember them as queer\, or as gay. And yet their sexuality was just as important an influence on their life as those whom we celebrate.
