We're back with another installment of Am I The Asshole! Cory brought some SERIOUS doozies, yall. We condemn homophobes, encourage amazing ally dads, and introduce a new biblical city in canon: Scissoring and Gomorrah. Also, a grandma tries to ally too hard and ends up causing a huge conflict within her family. Just a regular news cycle here at the ol' Queer Qulture Factory!

Episode 38 is now live! We’re getting a little Irish and Roman Catholic today, by discussing people who may not even be real - Domenica’s laying out the lives of two saints, St. Brigid of Kildare and St. John the Apostle. We learn many valuable lessons from these two, such as how to turn down potential suitors and how to deal with jealous bullies in your Apostle group. Join us for this first installment in a sporadic series, a la our Am I The Asshole segments, for more life lessons, like how ...
Let us welcome Cory back into the real world, from the deep, insurance pit she has been living in! Which also means she is back to hosting after the three-part Hirschfeld saga! She is presenting the Lavender Scare, during the 1940s-1960s when the federal government was persecuting and firing for being gay their own employees in misplaced fear they were communists and tyrannists. So, the usual bullshit. Forget any preconceptions you have as we dive in together, because DAMN it's a wild messed ...
FINALLY, we have reached the end of our series on Magnus Hirschfeld. But first we talk about Moulin Rouge: The Musical. And insurance enrollment periods. But we eventually get there! This week we expand more on the Institute for Sexual Research (or whichever name you’d like to choose), the world tour he embarked on that should have came way earlier in his research, the end of his life, and his continuing legacy. Join us while we learn about love’s natural turns, the weird then supportive stat...
Part two of THREE is officially out! Please enjoy the chaos of this episode - Domenica is sick and Magnus Hirschfeld continues to be a trip and a half. Today we get more into some of his philosophies, his scandals, his bad takes, and some slander thrown against him. Join us as we learn he makes a really bad expert witness, that it turns out for the better when you reach out to go past a paywall, and join us for a Queer Qulture Alaskan cruise.

Queer Qulture is back with episode 34! Sorry for such a long delay, we have had a lot going on so we had to adjust our schedule. We will now be posting every other week for the foreseeable future. Today’s episode is about the multi-level-marketing king Magnus Hirschfeld. Hirschfeld was a Physician, sexologist, and founder of the Institute of Sexual Research. Domenica discusses his life and research, while he contributed to theories about sexuality and gender that seem obvious to us now, at th...
Episode 26 is here! Today’s topic was kept SECRET until we started recording! Cory presents to us the story of Roy and Silo, two male chinstrap penguins from Central Park Zoo who gained international celebrity status when a children’s book was published about them and their chick! Of course, this was not met without criticism and was challenged by school boards and libraries all across the country. Just a reminder, it’s a book about penguins. The book is PERFECT for little hands though! ...
The much anticipated second part to our Stonewall Uprising episode is here! In episode 21 we will be looking at the night of, the nights that followed, and the legacy the Stonewall Uprising left behind. Find out how we feel about fairies and whether or not Domenica went to school with Eli from Degrassi. Leave everything you thought you knew about the events of Stonewall at the door and listen to part 1 if you have not already! We also overcame our wifi issues so there is a lot more banter in ...
Episode 20 has ARRIVED, and to honor the end of Pride Month we are doing our first TWO PARTER episode and talking about the Stonewall Uprising! Leave everything you thought you knew about the events of Stonewall at the door - the history we get told about the night of June 28th, 1969 is not wholly accurate. Come join us while we sigh, again about respectability politics, who REALLY kicked off the night’s events, and please pardon any lag or weirdness in the audio - we were having WiFi issues!...
We're over three weeks deep into Pride Month and this is the first time we're mentioning it? EMBARRASSING! This week's topic is the master of all trades - the mathematician, logician, cryptanalyst, philosopher, and theoretical biologist Alan Turing! In case you don't know what a computer is, we've got it all laid out for you here - we try and make it easy, because this guy held the math brain cell all gay people share and refused to let go. Join us while we learn about Mr. Turing's flying com...
WELCOME to episode 18 - don't forget to turn your listening ears our way! We are knee deep in Pride Month and celebrating an LGBT activist pre-Stonewall, Ernestine Eckstein! Ernestine is the proof in the pudding - if you have a person who historians claim "couldn't be gay because they don't know what the word gay means", if you EXPLAIN what being gay means, it probably hits the nail on the head for them. Moving to NYC in 1963 at the age of 22, she quickly wove herself into gay liberatio...
Welcome to episode 17! Join us as we take a ride through the Golden Age of Hollywood! This week Cory presents the book The Seven Husbands of Evelyn of Hugo. We know the title doesn’t sound very gay but trust us, it is! This book made hard lefts that had Domenica unable to predict what was going to happen next! The biggest question this week is, who was the love of Evelyn Hugo’s life?Twitter: @queerqultureInstagram: @queerqulturepodcast
Welcome to jolly old gay France! This week Domenica presents Dr. Georges Burou, a French gynecologist, whose name gets less coherent every time Domenica says it. Dr. Burou is credited with introducing and innovating the penile inversion that is used in modern day vaginoplasties! Join us while we discuss Dr. Burou’s immaculate outfit choices, thank the universe for helping Georges resist the call of the sea, and try to figure out who fathered all the IVF babies!!Twitter: @queerqultureInstagram...
Welcome to the beach! We're bringing your toes to the sand today! To celebrate, Cory is presenting to us 3 "safe haven" towns, or vacation spots and towns that were a safe space for the LGBT community pre-Stonewall Riots: Cherry Grove in NY, Provincetown in MA, and Saugatuck in MI! Not only do they have rich history and culture - one town's history starts during World War I - but their legacies continue today, and should definitely be considered for a summer road trip. If you go, don't forget...
Welcome to Episode 14! Gather round, all ye pocky priests, while we gossip and get scandalized over medieval bloodlines, historical terms for royal bedmates, and some innapropriate christening behavior - today, Domenica presents to us the personal relationships of James VI & I! We mostly discuss the good stuff - the Alphabet Mafia stuff - with some fun facts sprinkled in. Join us while we weave our crooked tapestry!Twitter: @queerqulture Instagram: @queerqulturepodcast
Welcome to episode 13! No tattoos were given in the making of this episode. And while there was a lot of cats-being-outsmarted talk (not including the 10 minutes we went down a cat breeds list rabbithole) no cats were harmed either. Today Cory presents to us the episodic video game Life is Strange, and how the in-game decisions influence your player's blossoming relationship! Join us, and we hope you've played the game, because hoooo buddy it was a doozy for Domenica. So much bathroom violenc...
It's episode 12! Today we're going back to the Revolutionary War! During a time period of religious enthusiasm, a future preacher awoke after a near-fatal illness proclaiming the previous self's soul had died and the body was recharged with the spirit of a Prophet, genderless and pronounless, named the Public Universal Friend. Some claimed the Friend was a fraud, while most scholars now regard the Friend as an early figure of transgender history in Colonial America. Join us while we navigate ...
Most of this episode won't make sense unless you've watched Happiest Season, so go watch it, get frustrated, drool over Kristen Stewart and Aubrey Plaza, and then get back to us. Today we dive into Clea Duvall's newest film, Happiest Season, released November 2020 in time for the holidays. Instead of a movie summary, though, we jump right into characters, plot, and how Dan Levy's comedic charm carried the film. No casuals allowed!Twitter: @queerqultureInstagram: @queerqulturepodcast
Every time Domenica says she's doing a "quick summary" of anything, DON'T BELIEVE HER. That's how you get Queer Qulture's longest episode yet - episode 10, where your two hosts do the ol' switcheroo so it's Double Dimi back to back! Today she presents the relationship between Achilles and Patroclus, the doomed lovers from Homer's epic The Iliad (now known as Troy Story). It's usually not questioned that they were together, but rather the discourse - starting in the 5th century BCE - revolves ...
All Aboard! A pick-me-up was needed after last week and thus Domenica presents Rosie O'Donnell - philanthropist, loving adoptive and foster mom, and winner of the Daytime Emmy Award for Best Talk Show five of the six years her talk show was on TV. Pick up your local conch shell and listen close while we cackle about her more 'controversial' remarks, how George W. Bush gave her a staph infection, and asking each other the big questions - like what a koosh ball is. Twitter: @queeerqulture ...
