Butler was a pioneer of science fiction and a trailblazer for Afrofuturism.

]]>Home for the holidays? Ruin Christmas dinner with our very first holiday special, in which we'll be getting to know the king who united Great Britain, commissioned the world's most popular Bible, spared England and Scotland the horrors of a devastating war, and had a succession of male lovers that scandalized his court and privy council.

In the first half, Larry walks us through the remarkable circumstances of James' birth and early life, and introduces us to the duke who stole James' heart--and gave him his own, in return.

Fair warning: This episode contains witchhunts and bad Jimmy Stewart impressions.

Kickass Queers shares the incredible life stories of amazing lesbian, gay, transgender, gender-nonconforming and otherwise queer people.

Her book, Annie on My Mind, is a lovely, life-affirming classic of YA and queer literature. It was also one of the most challenged, banned and even burned books of the 20th century.

Rachel tells us all about the novel and its lasting impact.

Texas Part 3: The Parrot, the Beaver and the LawIn the penultimate installment of our deep dive into the landmark Supreme Court ruling just 20 years ago, we'll meet an eccentric justice of the peace, a closeted lesbian prosecutor, a conspiracy-minded judge, a simple country DA about to make what is sadly not the biggest mistake of his life... and more kickass queer attorneys than you can pile into a courtroom.

Lane Lewis will also be joining us again, to walk us through his extraordinary effort to keep the defendants out of the headlines--and out of jail, again.

Texas Part 1: The Bad Old DaysJust how homophobic was America in the 90s? Gay sex was still illegal in several US states until this landmark Supreme Court ruling just 20 years ago. This meant that out gay people in those states were seen as criminals. That would sometimes cost them jobs, housing or even custody and visitation of their children. And, even when it didn't, the threat was always over their heads.

We're celebrating the anniversary of the end of second-class citizenship for gays and lesbians with a four-episode deep dive into the case, its profound impact on American culture, and the wildly diverse team of amazing people it took to change the world forever (hopefully).
