HI GAY! Happy Pride.

In honour of this year's festivities, we're kicking off the month with one of the more obscure Yesterqueers in the Historical Homos canon. Why? Because we can. Don't like it? You're homophobic.

King Edward II was not only a massive F-slur, he was also one of the worst kings in English history. AND YEAH YOU CAN BE BOTH. THAT IS EQUALITY.

Join Bash and his brilliant host, Kit Heyam, who wrote the book on Edward II and is a bestselling author of trans history, to uncover the truth of Edward's very gay ways.

Why was he obsessed with fitness and DIY projects? Who was he shtupping at court? And how should one allocate wealth and privilege to the nobility when hot people technically deserve them more?

All will be revealed inside the queer cauldron, so take your filthy peasant slippers off and get ready to dive in. The water is...human temperature.
