Michael gets called out for cultural appropriation while exploring the topic of immediacy, and Arbie reveals the secret language he and his friends used while still in the closet in college, as the boys unpack queer language and vernacular and its roots in the ballroom culture of queer people of color. ALSO: the queer cryptolect Polari, the YAAAS mentality, and a special NYC edition of the HHOTW. Joining the podcast this week is Jarvis Derrell, host of VH1 Celebrity’s Jarvis in the Elevator, and creator of the popular Instagram account @shehashadit. About the Podcast: Co-hosts Arbie Mosley and Michael Holt, two young(ish) friends from San Francisco and Portland, OR, explore what it means to be gay and queer today. Joined by artists, entrepreneurs, icons, and pros, the boys examine hooking up, screwing up, and everything in between on the road to authenticity and genuine connection.
