We explode gender norms by exploring their incredible variety across time. For example, did you know the Nazis encouraged young girls to bear a child out of wedlock for the Fatherland? Or that pre-contact Hawaii had no such thing as marriage? Or that ancient Romans had no concept of orientation, only a vague sense of “preference” for one sex or the other? That’s the kind of stuff we’ll be covering in this show. We explore the entire spectrum, from male to female and everything in-between, and from straight to gloriously twisted.

Two-Spirit: The Lakota Winkte – Sex on the Great Plains
What does it mean to be Two-Spirit? The film The Miseducation of Cameron Post likens it to being a "Native American David Bowie," but that's a far cry. What does it really mean? And what is the Two-Spirit tradition of the Lakota, the winkte?
