Do we still need queer spaces? We explore the history (including Greek bathhouses, molly houses, and Mother Clap) the failure of social media sites to protect queer people (focused on GLAAD’s Social Media Safety Index), and whether allies belong in queer spaces. This episode was sponsored by Spaces, a new group chat app for queer communities. Join our Gayish space on iOS: https://queerspaces.com/s/BqN4x27HMh6L74WW8.
