PRIDE EPISODE: MADONNA AND THE GAYS!

From the ballrooms of the '80s to the front lines of Pride, Madonna has stood with the queer community, but why exactly is she such a gay icon?In this special Pride Month episode, we explore Madonna’s decades-long relationship with LGBTQ+ people: the music, the activism, the controversies, and the undeniable influence. We dive into voguing and “Truth or Dare,” AIDS activism and Dance-a-thons, the Stonewall speech, GLAAD awards, lawsuits, and more. We don’t shy away from the messy parts, but we also give the Queen her flowers.Is she a savior? A thief? A symbol? A sister?Or maybe all of the above.Whether you’re a lifelong fan or just gay enough to be curious—this one’s for you.
