FOFA #1157 – Craig Seymour Bares it All

Visiting a strip club when you first come out can be a very liberating experience as it validates your desire to look at other men. Craig Seymour was so fascinated by his experience at the strip club that he did his college thesis on the subject of stripping and interviewed many male dancers and their clients. He eventually felt that if he was really going to know what it’s like to be one of them he’ll have to take it all off and work the pole.

The seedy clubs where Craig worked were famous for full-on nude men and he would spend hours working the crowd in his birthday suit to get just the right angle for his thesis. Now that’s research!

Craig put it all in his book “All I Could Bare: My Life in the Strip Clubs of Gay Washington, D.C” and he’s here today to talk about his experiences as a stripper, a professor and journalist.

Listen as Craig chats with us about the escalating costs of higher education, the changing face of LGBT journalism and why digital media is making it harder for conservative closeted politicians to lead double lives.

Plus-

His relationship with the conservative blogger Matt Drudge and why Matt wears those awful hats.

And how Luther Vandross almost came out to Craig during an interview but never quite got there
