Thanksgiving may have passed, but I’m thankful for guests, like Chris Stahling, who are brave enough to share their thoughts and experiences related to masculinity, queerness, desirability, and dating. We took a deep dive into his work around collecting, preserving, and disseminating Black queer narratives. We then explored his personal experiences with feeling and being desired.
