ZINE SCENE: The Bay's Gay ASF History with dee(dee) c. ardan

Nov 10, 2025
1h 44m

Episode Description

dee(dee) c. ardan is live in the studio apartment for the first episode about trans/queer media from the Bay's past, showing that indeed, this place has been trans as hell for a long, long time.

Starting with issue one of the 1970s zine GAY SUNSHINE, we deduce how the Bay gained a reputation for being the place you come to push the trans agenda and make life hell for conservatives.
