Today's episode is about England and its capacity to be deeply weird. Weget into one of England's weirdest, bloodiest, and maybe horniest moments, the English Reformation: a time of enormous tumult and violence, but also new ideas that reconfigured and reshaped the world. Today\u2019s Bad Gay is perhaps an unlikely and unfamiliar candidate, but one whose life and loves sheds a light on that time: it\u2019s the theologian, reformer, and Archbishop of Canterbury, John Whitgift.\nClick here to subscribe to our monthly podcast "Extra Bad Gays" and support the work we do to make the show.\n----more----\nSOURCES:\nDiarmaid MacCulloch, Reformation: Europe\u2019s House Divided 1490-1700, 38831st edition (Penguin UK, 2004)\nP.
