A Queer History of Mermaids (feat. Sacha Coward)

Wait, why are mermaids so gay?

It turns out everyone’s favorite sea-gals have been floating around for millennia, from ancient Syrian mer-goddesses to medieval water witches, all the way up to Princess Ariel.

But how did these dangerous divas of the deep become the sympathetic heroines we love and cherish today?

What is it about mermaids that makes them such magnets for LGBTQ+ symbolism?

Join me and Sacha Coward, author of Queer As Folklore, as we unpack the myth, the magic, and the mer-MAN of it all in this 3,000 year history of queer people chasing tail.
