Have you heard any good gossip lately? Our guest for today's Culure Club episode certainly has! We are joined by writer Jason Okundaye, who has written for publications such as Dazed, GQ and The Guardian. Speaking in LGBT History Month, he tells us all about his debut book Revolutionary Acts: Love and Brotherhood in Black Gay Britain. His book shines a light on a part of history that is glossed over massively, a compilation of memories of the men that he spoke to. Make sure you grab yourselves a copy!

You may know Crystal from the very first series of Ru Paul's Drag Race UK. However, the Canadian drag queen has been in the news recently for another reason: making LGBT history by taking on Laurence Fox for defamation, and winning.
Crystal takes us through the complexities of the past 3 and a half years, from Laurence Fox calling them a pedophile on Twitter to winning their libel case on all counts. Plus, Crystal tells us about that iconic Elle Woods look. This is a truly empowering story about the importance of sticking up for yourself.
