Christine Jorgensen’s name is pronounced with a hard “g” as in go, get, grit etc.

[YourbelleKnits-jr]

The bit about J Edgar Hoover is nauseating. That’s some deeply rooted self hatred. Talk about committing high treason against your own soul. Disgusting.😕

[whoviating]

When you mentioned the 1962 radio broadcast I immediately thought "had to be WBAI." 🙂

[Heykittygirrrl]

I've been watching this in parts over the past few days. Amazing. I think you've covered it all lol. Sorry to hear about your grandma. May she rest in peace 🩷

[gimbur]

Can you make a video on Oliver Sipple the gay man who president Gerald ford life? Then payed the price because being gay bisexal etc was unacceptable at the time please!

[ronaldschultenover]

If gay pride flag is rainbow,
then why is straight pride flag black&white?
Cause a rainbow is after a storm, straight pride flag is rays of sunlight.


The bisexual flag is an earth shadow. It's all one sky, gay straight, and bisexual the three main categories.

how great would it be if our president wasnt too old to do anything right now
