Gay Flags and Lavender Scares ft. Huw Lemmey

Series 2 ends with a bang, and some serious vexillology: talking homonationalism, gay villages, the commercialisation of Pride, the history of criminalisation of LGBTQ people, the Gay End of History, and this flag - The Pink Jack, with legendary writer and podcaster, Bad Gays' Huw Lemmey.

Bad Gays: A Homosexual History is published by Verso on 31 May 2022 and you can (and should) pre-order it RIGHT NOW.

Huw Lemmey's Utopian Drivel Substack is here.

The Bad Gays podcast, which Huw hosts with Ben Miller, is here.
