Episode Synopsis
Dracula in Drag: Recognizing Our Humanity through a Vampiric Lens
With Rev. Nic Cable and Lesley Reuter
Dracula specifically and vampires generally symbolize many aspects of society’s discomfort with topics related to sex and gender. From the hypersexualization of gay men, to the projection of predatory behavior on members of the LGBTQ+ community, to the linking of disease and sexual deviance especially during the AIDS epidemic, vampires represent both a distortion of our humanity and a gateway to understanding our humanity in a more sacred and holistic light. Rev. Nic Cable will consider what is possible if we break free from the limitations society and we put on our expressions of sex and gender.
