Ever had someone make history so juicy, you forgot you were learning?
That’s Dr. Andrew Lear—Harvard professor turned museum renegade and the mastermind behind Oscar Wilde Tours the first travel company to boldly say:
“Forget tourist traps. Let’s take queer people to where their history actually happened.”
From ancient Greek love stories to Renaissance scandals, from Call Me By Your Name landscapes to secret drag scenes across Asia, Andrew’s leading LGBTQ+ travelers on journeys that are smart, sexy, and spiritually satisfying.
In this wildly entertaining episode of Pride Nomad Unleashed, Ken and Andrew go deep on:
- Why most queer history has been scrubbed from museums—and how he’s putting it back
- The truth about same-sex love in Ancient Rome (spoiler: it wasn’t all togas and orgies)
- His upcoming TV series with Stephen Fry and Tan France (yes, really)
- The power of “slow travel” and how to get adopted by an Italian café
- Queer birds of paradise, rogue princes, and how 3 million hijras are rewriting gender norms in India
- PLUS: A sneak peek at upcoming LGBTQ+ history tours from Japan to the Nordic countries
