History Is Gay

  Happy Halloween everybody! As good Halloween gays, Leigh and Gretchen bring you a special, spoopy episode for Halloween. In the first half, they bring tales of gay and lesbian ghosts and lavender apparitions of all kinds, though of the kindly and perhaps a bit cheeky variety rather than bloody or scary. For the second half, they interview Joe Applebaum, one of the producers of Queer Ghost Hunters, a paranormal investigation series on YouTube focused on finding and talking to queer ghosts. So grab your bucket of candy and get ready for some spoopy fun on History is Gay!Outline0:00 – Introduction 6:41– Socio-Historic Context: Spiritualism 11:23 – Lavender Apparitions and Queer Ghosts 45:16 – Leigh and Gretchen Plan Their Hauntings 52:23 – Fun Segment: Pop Culture Tie-In 54:47 – How Gay were They? 56:31 – Interview with Joe Applebaum of Queer Ghost Hunters 1:44:47 – Closing and Where to Find us Online Want to help us continue to make the show?
