Notorious comedy queers Caitlin Powell (flame-haired stand-up menace) and big idiot from RuPaul’s Drag Race UK Kate Butch are delving deep into their childhoods, reliving films, TV shows, and snacks, to see if there’s any way of pinpointing the things that made them the queer icons they are today. For a healthy serving of nostalgia through the gayest lens imaginable, tune in to Queers Gone By every Throwback Thursgay! From the CBBC classic Tracy Beaker to Disney Channel favourites like Hannah Montana, via niche Dutch cartoon Help! I’m A Fish, we’ve been taking a trip down memory lane every week to discover the things that made us queer, camp and generally iconic! Queers Gone By is your one stop shop for nostalgia and the unpacking of repressed childhood memories (but in a fun way)! Got an idea for something for us to review? Thinking ’these are things that made me queer’? Follow us at @queersgoneby and let us know!

It's the final episode of Lindsay Lohan-uary! This week we're reviewing the classic Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen! We ask important questions like: is Alison Pill gay in real life? What was Carol Kane like in Wicked? And where have we seen that average milquetoast man before??

This week, we're continuing Lindsay Lohan-uary with the classic Freaky Friday! This film has everything: Jamie Lee Curtis giving us layers, iconic covers of classic songs, and some pretty gross Orientalism! Listen on to find out if this body-swapping disaster is one of the things that made us queer!
