Episode 01: The Episode About Homophobia in the Housewives World
Off the top, Ama & Danita share their psychoanalysis of the Richards sisters and the possible dark side of Kathy Hilton. They also dive into a certain New York Times piece that had Twitter (rightfully) in a tizzy this week.
Then, from RHONY's Wedding March for Equality to RHOC cast reactions to Braunwyn coming out, the Real Housewives have a long history of ugly homophobia. So how and why do Bravo's legions of queer fans continue to reconcile their love of all things Bravo? We're joined by Trash Box co-hosts and comedians and best friends Emily Richardson & Marshall Lorenzo to talk about camp, hagsploitation, justice for sex-positive goth queen Carlton, and accessorizing gay men.
