Spelade

  • Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with comedians and hosts of the podcast Never Normal, Renee Santos (@reneesantoscomedy) and Jackie Monahan (@jackiemonahan) to talk about why the movie Bridesmaids Should’ve Been Gay. Bridesmaids is quite simply gay from casting to credits. Nothing about this movie has a heterosexual explanation. The only reason anyone would have for being that jealous of their friend making another friend is if there was a secret crush going on. Bridesmaids should have ended with Annie and Lillian recognizing their romantic feelings for one another and finally getting together. Alternatively, we would accept a throuple situation between Annie, Lillian and Helen. One thing is for sure, Bridesmaids Should’ve Been Gay. Follow along on Twitter: Lez Hang Out (@lezhangoutpod) and answer our Q & Gay at the end of every episode. Leigh Holmes Foster (@lshfoster) and Ellie Brigida (@elliebrigida).

  • When Torch Song Trilogy opened on Broadway in 1982, Harvey Fierstein became the first and, at the time, only out gay leading man on Broadway. He made further history by winning the Tony Award for Best Play and Best Actor in a Play for Torch Song Trilogy. One year later he won a third Tony Award for La Cage aux Folles and 20 years after that he won a fourth for playing Edna Turnblad Hairspray.
    Harvey joins us to talk about his unexpected life in theatre, his lifelong "gender issues", and his new memoir, I Was Better Last Night.
    This is part of our new LGBTQ+ Elders Project. You can listen to our interview with the 87-year-old, Barbara Satin. You can also listen to recent interviews with ACT UP's Peter Staley and Dr. Charles Silverstein. 
    A condensed transcript of each week's interview is posted on The Advocate's website in the afternoon (or earlier if I get enough coffee). Come find us on Instagram (@lgbtqpod) to see the photos that Harvey shared with us, including one with his friend, Marsha P. Johnson.
