It's episode 85! We are rounding out our celebration of Pride month by going back to the 19th century, four years after the end of the American Civil War, to attend the earliest drag balls in Harlem, New York.

Over time, these balls turned into the house ballroom culture and the dance competitions that birthed voguing. After the break, KT takes us through time and around the world to look at the practices around the summer solstice in different cultures.
