Show Notes
In today's episode, I have a delightful chat with Dr. Redfern Jon Barrett. Redfern is a writer, journalist, and activist who recently published "Proud Pink Sky," an alternate history of Nazi Germany and the establishment of the first gay state. Redfern and I discuss topics as diverse as being flexible with labels, the history of homosexual relationships, and the best Pokemon there is.
