It gives us great pleasure to present Season 11, Episode 17: Ron Naples!
Ron Naples joins us to share his memoirs: My Last Dance With Auntie Brie 1 & 2. We talk about his coming out in the 70s, his life in the early 80s club scene and as a house boy in Ptown, up through finally settling down in San Francisco – most of which was guided by the drag queen Auntie Brie. We discuss the importance of memory, as well as archiving these unique gay experiences.
