About This Podcast
Drew and Sarah are college friends who share a love of pop culture from 80s music, old Hollywood movies, iconic closeted characters, and campy TV shows. Countless LGBTQ+ stories remain hidden in history, but deserve to be in the spotlight. Drew and Sarah explore the memorable and the not-so-well-known LGBTQ+ people that influenced both their lives and society. Peppered in every story are their hot takes and sass. Listen in, learn, and laugh along as they humorously and affectionately tell the life stories of the many gays of our lives.
