Hello and And if Carly Jepson is listening to this, my deepest, gayest apologies for missing you at the All Things Go Festival the other weekend.

I'm sure Carly Ray Jepson is listening to this.

We can only dream.

I'm Christina Katerucci, a staff writer at slate and host of the Wave

Slates podcast about gender and I am currently taking recommendations on how to wear a sack

dress without looking like an actual sack of root vegetables.

And I'm Brian Lauter, editor of Slate's Outward Section, and I'm still traumatized by the violence

that was Bradley Cooper wiping off Lady Gaga's drag makeup.

Ditto.

Yeah, that movie is awful.

So it's October, happy LGBTQ history month, guys.

Thank you.

When this show goes up, we'll also be launching a special series of more than a dozen pieces

and outward about radicalism and queer life today.

So check that out with your eyeballs.

On the podcast, we're going to be hearing about how some of our

most important queer ancestors became radicalized with the help of our friends at the Making

Gay History Podcast, and we're going to chat with a few present-day radicals who are part of the movement to reclaim pride.

We'll also dig into what radicalism even means via a little game, and we'll have our usual

updates to the gay agenda.

But first, it's time for our regular assessment of pride and provocations.

Brandon, which side of the P&P divider you want this month?
