Tu'er Shen | Queer as Fact
In today's episode, we discuss the Daoist god Tu'er Shen, who is considered to be a patron god of homosexuality. Join us to learn about intimacy between men in 18th century China, a secret gay statue, and one Daoist priest's desire to create a safe space for queer youth.
Check out our website, where you can find our sources, as well as everything there is to know about Queer as Fact.
