Description

In this week's episode, we're talking about Boston's LGBTQ history and identity with Joan Ilacqua of The History Project, a community archive, repository, historical society, and museum for the local queer community. This is a complex story, and we get into everything from gay marriage legalization (it happened here first!), to "Boston marriages," to the city's first pride parade, to its current queer hot spots.


Plus, my wild night at Kowloon.


Marriages begin at Cambridge City Hall.



Tastykake's Butterscotch Krimpets.


Atlas Obscura on Boston Coolers.
