The lens of “Bad Gays” through which they explore, discs, ntextualize, and discs “queer” history is clever but also pnt and sightful.

THE NO GOOD, VERY BAD GAY PODST

Perhaps the others are different, but the hosts foundatnal argument seemed to be that beg gay (or at least a good gay) is not a physlogil fact about the genr directn of someone’s attractns, but rather a quasi-relig polil inty.

Gay people who ntue to hold even d nservative or relig views are heretics and blasphemers and a threat to the awokened creeds of what looks more like a queer relign everyday. I wonr if eher of them know what is to grow up gay nservative or relig muni?

Each of the subjects be totally fascatg through Bad Gays’ lens; the rigoro rearch and eye for tellg tails evoke the feelg of unravelg a mystery. It’s also pretty funny — each episo ends wh realy TV-style snap judgments of “bad gay or not bad gay?
