9-1-1? There’s a Doll in the Dark Room! (with Kay Gabriel)

10/06/26

Trans women and gay men have been sharing space since the very beginning — and whether you're on Sniffies, at the club, or on Fire Island, the overlap has never been more real.


This episode dives deep into an increasingly de-homogenized community: the history of gay and trans spaces, how that's changed today, and what cruising, nightlife, and safe sex look like when our worlds collide. How do our similarities and differences shape our desires, our health, and our ability to thrive? 


Joining us is the writer and nightlife producer Kay Gabriel, who helps us think through all of it with the depth and nuance it deserves.
