TJ Alexander Returns! Queer love means breaking the rules

from Rebel Ever After · host Ella Dawson

In this episode, TJ Alexander and I celebrate their new historical romance A Lady For All Seasons, a Shakespearean-esque screwball comedy with an unforgettable genderfluid lead. Then TJ introduces me to the real queer historical figures who inspired their characters, like the Ladies of Llangollen and Lord Byron. Plus: what you should know about the first proposed national book ban, and the importance of annoying queer representation. Pretentious queer artists deserve rights too, you guys.
