7. The Verdict

6. The Argument
<p>Jesse and Holly just have one checkpoint to go before we can officially crown Bruce Springsteen with queer icon status. Quite simply – is there a vibe? Do other queer people agree that Bruce is a queer icon? This is their last chance to collate their evidence, gather their findings, and prepare their ultimate arguments for the Panel of Queers next week.</p> <p><strong>Show notes:</strong> </p> <p><a href="https://www.wearemolten.com/s/BecauseTheBossBelongsToUs_E6_Script_TheArgument.pdf">Read a transcript of today’s episode</a></p> <p>Read Alana Kumbier’s seminal zine <a href="https://archive.qzap.org/index.php/Detail/Object/Show/object_id/320">Because the Boss Belongs to us</a></p> <p>Read Holly Casio’s Graphic Memoir <a href="https://coolschmool.com/comics/looking-for-bruce">Looking for Bruce</a></p> <p>Follow <a href="https://www.instagram.com/butchspringsteen_drag/">Butch Springsteen</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/georgeousmichael/">Georgeous Michael</a></p> <p>Read Eve Kosofsky Sedgewick - <a href="https://read.dukeupress.edu/books/book/636/chapter/128566/Paranoid-Reading-and-Reparative-Reading-or-You-re">You’re So Paranoid, I Bet You Think This Introduction is About You</a></p> <p>Our friends have released 5 absolutely STUNNING bruce covers to celebrate the series.
