PRIDE SPECIAL: Call Them Queer, Conversa...

Liv Albert
About this episode

Selections from past conversation episodes featuring LGBTQIA topics from Greek mythology (and history!). Selected by incredible intern Grace Roby, put together by the magnificent Michaela Smith.

CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.

Sources: for sourcing and more, listen to past Pride/LGBTQIA episodes found here.
