As listeners of Huw Lemmey and Ben Miller's hit podcast Bad Gays will know, Cambridge University has, historically, been a hotbed of, as Miller and Lemmey say, 'evil and complicated queers'. Join Lemmey and Miller as they discuss their new book Bad Gays: A Homosexual History (Verso, 2022)—and the historical bad gays of Cambridge—in conversation with Diarmuid Hester. As well as previously appearing on the Dennis Cooper episode of Bad Gays, Hester is also the creator of A Great Recorded History: Queer Cambridge Audio Trail.

This event is hosted by Cam Queer History and lgbtQ+@cam with the University of Cambridge Centre for Gender Studies. It is open to all. Those wishing to purchase a copy of the book in advance of the event will be able to do so through the ticket-booking link. Ordering a copy of the book ahead also includes a 'Bad Gays' tote bag!

The event will be held in the Alison Richard Building rooms SG1 and SG2, with book signing and reception to follow in the Atrium.
