FOF #2087 – It’s Never Too Late

Much of the youthfulness that gay men seem to possess probably stems from the fact that many of us had to postpone our adolescence due to a world that wasn’t hospitable to same-sex love.

FOF #2086 – Diary of a Bearded Drag Queen

For being such an experimental art form, audiences sometimes get very critical of drag queens who defy expectations of what they perceive as feminine. It’s not always easy being a nonconformist in a world of gender non-conformers.

Joining us today is the fabulous Lucy Stoole, a bearded fishy genderfuck queen best known for her over-the-top performances at music venues in Chicago. Lucy’s specialty is hosting drag nights that feature punk bands and underground performers.

Today we’re taking a look at something that isn’t viral but should be: men in heels.

FOF #2083 – Ting a Ling a Ling

There are a lot of strange words used to describe or insult gay men: fruits, cock jockeys, donut punchers, Oaklahomos and bone smugglers. But ultimately our favorite slur word is “ting a ling a ling” a phrase that everyone credits to Homer Simpson, but ultimately can be traced back to Dean Martin’s song “That’s Amore.”

Today, Brian Sweeney is back from the dead to talk about our favorite slur and slang words used for gay men.

FOF #2081 – Alexandra Billings is the Friend Everyone Deserves

Hollywood isn’t stellar when it comes to casting out of the closet LGBT actors in roles that portray the LGBT experience.

But thankfully that’s changing. Leading the way is trans actress Alexandra Billings, who holds the distinction of being the first trans woman to play a transgender character on television.
