Sit in on an hour long-conversation between host and standup comic, Cameron Esposito, and some of the brightest luminaries in the LGBTQ+ family. Queery explores individual stories of identity, personality and the shifting cultural matrix around gender, sexuality and civil rights.

Why listen

Queery pairs comedian Cameron Esposito with LGBTQ+ artists, activists, writers, performers, and community figures for warm, hour-long conversations about identity, work, culture, and survival. It is especially rewarding if you like interviews that feel personal rather than promotional, with guests talking openly about gender, sexuality, creative lives, politics, and the small details that shaped them.
