Season 4 Episode 1

LGBTQ+ Pride season!

Our first episode will look at the essay, "Don't Be Afraid To Be The First" by Holland. This essay can be found in the anthology book We Can Do Better Than This: 35 Voices on the Future of LGBTQ+ Rights, edited by Amelia Abraham.

Holland is an openly gay KPop idol. Find out about the sociopolitical history of queerness in Korea and about Holland himself in this episode.

*I make a mistake at about 13:30 where I say that Holland is often described as the first Kpop idol. What I should have said was that he is often described as the first OUT Kpop idol! Oops. :)
