Summary

February is LGBT History Month, and The Bunker is celebrating with a special two-part panel on queer history. In this episode, we’re diving into the heroes and villains of the community: from the icons you know to the overlooked figures who deserve their moment in the spotlight. Natasha Devon is joined by author and activist Paul Burston and comedian Sharon Wanjohi to explore the legacies of trailblazers, troublemakers, plus the ones we'd happily shove back into the closet and never speak of again. • Buy Paul Burston’s We Can Be Heroes: A Survivor’s Story here. • We are sponsored by Indeed.
