A gas station attendant with a plan. A hidden network. And the secret desires of Hollywood’s biggest stars.

Fresh from the horrors of World War II, a young Marine named Scotty Bowers arrived in Los Angeles looking for work. What he found instead was a city built on illusion, where fame came with morality clauses, careers could be destroyed by a rumor, and countless queer stars were forced to live in the shadows. From an ordinary gas station on Hollywood Boulevard, Scotty would become the keeper of some of Old Hollywood’s most closely guarded secrets.

In this episode, we dive into one of the most fascinating chapters of queer history and explore the underground world that thrived behind the glamorous façade of the Golden Age of cinema.

A rainbow of secrets. A coded language. And a hidden world built for survival.

Long before Grindr, Scruff, Sniffies, or social media, queer men relied on an intricate system of colored bandanas to communicate desires, identities, and interests in a world where being yourself could be dangerous. In this Pride Month episode, Jordi and Brad dive into the fascinating history of the Hanky Code, exploring its disputed origins, ties to leather culture, and how this colorful piece of queer history became one of the community’s most iconic symbols. Then, things take a hilarious turn as Brad’s knowledge is put to the test in a game that proves just how complex and surprisingly specific the code really was. This LGBTQ+ true crime podcast may be taking a break from murder this week, but it’s still a journey through queer history with plenty of laughs and unexpected discoveries along the way.

A birthday celebration. A vulnerable young man. And a night of cruelty that would leave a community demanding answers.

When Steven Simpson turned eighteen, he had every reason to celebrate. Openly gay, living independently despite autism, epilepsy, and other challenges, Steven had worked hard to build a life on his own terms. But what began as a gathering of friends in his South Yorkshire flat quickly spiraled into something far darker. As the night unfolded, humiliation, bullying, and violence blurred the line between a cruel joke and a devastating tragedy. In this LGBTQ+ true crime podcast episode, we examine a case that shocked the United Kingdom, sparked outrage among disability and LGBTQ+ advocates, and raised difficult questions about hate crimes, justice, and the way vulnerable people are treated by society. More than a gay murder case, Steven's story remains a haunting reminder of how prejudice and indifference can have fatal consequences.
