]]> episodic no Renee Pogue out.of.queer.history@gmail.com no full Episode 10 - Re-bisexual Without a Cause Episode 10 - Re-bisexual Without a Cause Renee Pogue This episode, we're covering the ambiguous sexuality of one of the quintessential examples of heterosexual masculinity. As with most iconic figures, there's much more to James Dean than his rebellious public persona.


We also discuss a Roman emperor who adored one of his male lovers so much, he canonized him after death and turned him into a deity — with a cult to match.

We also talk about a 14th century prostitute who fought to make her own way on her own terms.

We'll also talk about the queer woman who invented rock n' roll, and why she remains iconic.
