Larry Shouldn't Speake: Episode 53 (Ronald Reagan's Response to the AIDS Crisis)

In this episode we are drinking an 1980s classic, the Amaretto Sour. This sweet “starter” cockatil featuring Italian liquor was popular in the era of TUX’s scandal. 
🍸 - Episode 53 Amaretto Sour – Beyond Reproach

In this episode TUX focuses on how and why Ronald Reagan is personally responsible for the death of tens of thousands of Americans who died of AIDS in the 1980s. We 🥂 to a long legacy of American presidents doing nothing to stop a public health crises and rather ignoring them and hoping it doesn’t hurt their approval ratings.

You're Not Acting Like an Adult, Honey: Episode 50 (How Dan White Got Away with the Murder of Harvey Milk and George Moscone)

In this episode we are drinking our first tequila cocktail–the Frozen Margarita! This frozen  summertime crowd-pleaser is a spin on a vintage recipe called the daisy. For our non-Spanish speakers “margarita” is Spanish for “daisy.”
🍸 - Episode 50: Frozen Margarita — Beyond Reproach

STEPHANIE does a deep dive into the assassination of Harvey Milk and subsequent the “Twinkie Defense.” We raise our glasses to one of the many examples of straight white men getting away with literal murders using defenses that would have been laughed out of court if used by anyone else.

STEPHANIE tells the story of Samuel Upham, the man who dunked on the Confederacy all the way from the safety of his shop in downtown Philly. We raise our glasses to a successful war profiteer we all can get down with because sometimes you gotta print money to make money!

TUX revisits McCarthyism to shine a light on the Lavender Scare, one of the most successful witch hunts swept under the rug of American history. We toast to living out loud and proud and learning that there is more to gay pride than rainbow pijamas.
