This is a show about individual experience and personal identity.

There may be times when folks use identifying words or phrases that don't feel right to you.

That's part of what we're exploring here.

Please listen with an open heart, and as always, I welcome your polite, engaged feedback,

and I encourage you to continue the conversation in your own life and with your own community.

Welcome to Query.

Hey Quero's, my guest today, is Jess Rothschild, who isn't a podcast I am super interested in,

called Finding Fire Island.

It's all about Fire Island, the history of the folks that live there, the folks that vacation

there.

This is, I would say, the deepest, deep dive into recent lesbian history that I've ever had

on the show. You'll hear it. You'll hear it in my voice. I am outmatched and I have never been

outmatched in terms of my complete and utter knowledge about lesbian history.

So, honestly, congratulations to Jess and will you teach me.

Hey, also, do you live in New York or somewhere close?

Please come see me at Jo's pub August 16th for 20th, and go to CameraNesposito.com for tickets.

See you there!

All right, sweet, Ayri's have, uh, I arrays? That's how I'm doing.

I always have guests introduce themselves. Would you introduce yourself?

Oh my God, sure. My name is Jess Rothschild. Some of your listeners may know of me from way back

in the day because I was a founding writer over at Autostraddle, like in a previous lifetime.

Oh, I actually didn't know that.
