Description
Finishing off our discussion of fascism through essays from "Leatherfolk" that complicate the problem of desire, and use that to move onto contemporary queerness to look at how homonationalism and homonormativity haunts the discourse on all sides.

Show Notes: "Fascinating Fascism" in Susan Sontag's "Under the Sign of Saturn" "Leatherfolk" anthology edited by Mark Thompson "Terrorist assemblages: Homonationalism in Queer Times" by Jasbir K.
