Gayish: 281 Left-Handedness

Left-handed? That’s how daddy rolls. Partially inspired by this tweet, we expand on the apt comparisons between LGBTQ people and left-handedness. Also, are left-handed people more likely to be queer? Are they smarter? Are they more talented? Why does society hate them? We do the right thing by talking left.
(The history of left-handedness chart Kyle refers to early in the episode is in that tweet, if you want the visual.)
In this episode: News- 2:32 || Main Topic (Left-Handedness)- 16:06 || Gayest & Straightest- 1:16:43

Gayish: 280 Gay Sex (w/ Dave Quantic from Fruitbowl podcast)

Gayish: 279 Madison Cawthorn [Shrinkage]

In this mini episode, the on-going saga of Rep. Madison Cawthorn. Mike talks through his ethics investigation and his “roommate,” Stephen Smith. Kyle had never heard most of this, but especially not the honeymoon part!

Gayish: 278 Grilling

When you think about it, grilling is the culmination of so many straight, masculine stereotypes: fire, meat, providing for the family. And, as we discover in this episode, it has a combination patriarchal, racist, and heteronormative roots. But still, a huge metal spatula is a great Gift for Him!

Gayish: 276 Flight Attendants

Flight attendant is the stereotypically gayest job, but does the data (I mean, gayta) say the stereotype is true? We talk about where the stereotype came from, the very first flight attendant (who was a dude and maybe gay?), the Supreme Court decision that paved the way for gay flight attendants (Diaz v. Pan American World Airways), and the most infamous gay flight attendant of all: AIDS/HIV Patient Zero, aka Gaétan Dugas.

For our 5th anniversary celebration, we talk about (and drink) blondes! We taste the Gayish blonde ale beer live, analyze the gay stereotype “Legally Blonde” hinged on, talk about the gay moment that got “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” author Anita Loos kicked off TV, and use research to answer whether blondes really are dumb.
