A history, most Queer

Kyle and I, Julian Rushbrook, your host, continue our discussion on our five horror films with queer elements. I hope you all enjoy!!!

We are talking about a few creepy horror films again....while feeling a little silly.

A bisexual thruple of psychologists and women's right activists birthed the most iconic Super Woman of them all, Wonder Woman during the height of the conflict between Democracy and Fascism. We need her to shine up her bracelets and coil up that lasso for the fight continues today.

Between the McCarthyism of the 1950s and the constant fear that Commies were under every rock and behind every door, tales of heroes and villains were being censored. Of course, it was all to 'protect the children,' a phrase we hear all the time today by right wing demagogues. Here is a link to Ultra, the podcast by Rachel Maddow that goes more in-depth into McCarthyism. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rachel-maddow-presents-ultra/id1647910854

The second half of A history, most Queer's look at the Epic of Gilgamesh. In the series, Holding Out For A Hero, we are looking at the oldest known hero myth, and it is a queer one at that! Monsters, petty goddesses and immortals lurk in the tales of Gilgamesh and Enkidu.

The O.G. heroes, Gilgamesh and Enkidu were not so secretly fond of each other. The mighty god/men of Uruk started out as enemies, but would soon find love in each others' embrace, and adventure at each others' sides.

Here is the second part to the story of that "little student group that could." The GAA fought for years for recognition as a legitimate student group.

This is the first part in a story that I initially researched and wrote about nearly 15 years ago. With everything going on in Oklahoma's education system, I thought it would be a good idea to look into this forgotten moment in Oklahoma's queer history.
