Summary
This month on Outward hosts Christina Cauterucci, Bryan Lowder, and New America’s Brandon Tensley talk all about queer travel. Where do they like to go and how do they find gay experiences when they get there? Then they speak with cultural anthropologist Esther Newton about her work studying the queer community of Cherry Grove on Fire Island and the way its changed over the decades, and her new memoir My Butch Career. Slate staffer Erin Nichols explains the difficulties of going through airport security as a genderqueer person. And finally, June Thomas joins in for a fun bit of queer travel advice.

| 0:55.6 | cloven shoes? That's a step too far. Those are the best part of that look, which was an |
| 1:01.9 | amazing look, but the best part that I think some people didn't notice was that he had like satanic, |
| 1:08.0 | like goat, you know, styled shoes on underneath that beautiful frock that he was |
