Joey Cain, Episode 2
Friday, 7 August, 2026

In this second episode, Joey begins with more reminiscences of Marsha P. Johnson, and then tells of his move from New York to San Francisco in 1976, the gay life he found in the city by the bay at that time, the founding of the Radical Faeries, and his lifelong friendship with Harry Hay.
