SBG 131: The Golden Girls with Stacey Powell

Published: Sept. 9, 2024, 6:37 p.m.

Thank you for being a friend\u2026of the pod!\nThis week, Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with Stacey Powell (@bookslovejoy), later-in-life lesbian and co-host of the Lez Go Travel Show! on Tello Films, to talk about why The Golden Girls Should\u2019ve Been Gay. Let\u2019s be honest, if this show were made today, at the very least Dorothy would be a lesbian.\nEven though The Golden Girls was first released in 1985, it was quite progressive in its handling of many prominent social and political issues for the time. A ragtag group of single, older/middle-aged women live together and somehow it isn\u2019t supposed to be the gay commune of our dreams?\nBlanche may be the butt of a lot of sexist jokes for her \u201cpromiscuity\u201d, but she\u2019s also incredibly sex-positive for the 80s. We think Blanche has chaotic bisexual energy and if you don\u2019t see it, you\u2019re lying. Dorothy has all the hallmarks of a late-in-life lesbian, and Rose? That\u2019s a closeted lesbian dealing with so much comphet that she can\u2019t even see through it. Honestly, we think everyone in this show is gay (except for Sophia, our token straight).\xa0\nWe know one thing for sure, The Golden Girls Should\u2019ve Been Gay.\xa0\nStacey and her fianc\xe9e Christin want you to heal your heartache and find your soulmate just like they did.
