Ruin That Columbussy: A History of Queer Indigenous People

It's time to ruin that Columbussy! This week we are trampling on the reviled memory of Christopher Columbus, in honor of the Queer Indigenous Peoples of the Americas who are - say it with me - MUCH, MUCH COOLER. Bitchy Bash is joined by Illiterate Lucy to explore the five genders of Indigenous civilizations, the rise of the berdache and one "Nameless Hermaphrodite," and a brief glance at the ancient Aztec god of flowers, sex, gays, and magic mushrooms. (Beat that, sweetie.) As always, we conclude that white people have basically ruined everything. But not before we uncover the greatest Two-Spirit trailblazers of the last 500 years.For more, follow us at:www.historicalhomos.comwww.instagram.com/historical.homoswww.tiktok.com/historicalhomosThis episode was written and researched by Bash, hosted by Lucy Hendra and Bash, and edited by Alex Toskas.
