Some names are just begging to be adopted by drag queens, kings and other colorful shape shifters: Robin Banks, Poo Ping, Ima Hogg, Peter Gozinya or Izzy Hung.

Today San Francisco drag queen Nicki J!zz, that’s Jazz with I, joins us to tell us how a queen came for her drag name while performing in one of Peaches Christ’s shows and how black drag queens are organizing to put pressure on gay bars to fight racism.

One of Black History Month’s key figures is George Washington Carver, the man who preached about the power of the peanut!
What they didn’t tell us about him in school is that he came across as queer- he spoke to flowers, shared a bed with a man and loved hot peanut oil massages.
Today comedian Matt Brown joins us to look at George Washington Carver- his friendships with married women, his romance with Austin Curtis Jr and being Gandhi’s nutritional advisor.

Shocking news! After years of posting shirtless photos of himself online with other men at circuit parties the former disgraced congressman Aaron Schock came out as gay saying “I am gay, which should come as no surprise.”

Today comedian Matt Brown joins us to look at Aaaron Schock coming out and Elizabeth Warren dropping out of the U.S. Presidential election.
