BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! Breakfast Club: Queer Culture & the Death of the Gay Bar
In this episode of The BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! Breakfast Club, the team dives into the state of queer culture at a time of triumphs, cancellations, and cultural resets.Photographer Tyler Udall joins from Berlin, bringing his trademark insight on art and identity, alongside Michelle Robecchi, commissioning editor at Phaidon and a sharp observer of how the art world frames and sometimes sidelines queer narratives.Together with BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! founder Ghislain Pascal and host Graeme Smith, they unpack why major museums still hesitate to show queer work even as The Queer Lens at the Getty breaks attendance records, what Netflix’s cancellation of The Ultimatum: Queer Love says about visibility on screen, and why the closure of London’s G.A.Y. bar may signal a new kind of queer space emerging.Brought to you by BOYS!
