Matt Baume: Chechnya, DragCon, Polari, and The Gift of Queerness | AfterBuzz TV’s LGBTQ&A

Matt Baume talks about the torture of queer men that’s occurring in Chechnya and what you can do if you feel helpless. He also discusses the coding of LGBTQ content in the media, the evolution of queer language, and how our concept of marriage has changed over the years. We also talk about being at DragCon this year and why queer people have magic powers.
