Drew and Sarah explore the memorable and the not-so-well-known LGBTQ+ people that influenced both their lives and society. Peppered in every story are their hot takes and sass. Listen in, learn, and laugh along as they humorously and affectionately tell the life stories of the many gays of our lives.
