Queer stories, personalities, and issues are explored with insight and sensitivity on Out in the Bay, which now airs occasionally during the Queer Power Hour, 6 pm Thursdays. We’ve interviewed such celebrities as film directors Ang Lee and John Waters, comedians Margaret Cho and Marga Gomez, singers Leslie Gore and Michael Feinstein, actors, authors, and more. We’ve also featured historians, scholars, and activists -- including marriage equality pioneers the late Phyllis Lyon and Del Martin -- with compelling stories about the reality of LGBTQ life. You can hear episodes from June 2020 to today, as well as historical pieces from 2015 and earlier, on Out in the Bay's website.
