In previous episodes, we discussed how pop culture has long served as a powerful space for gay men to find representation, expression, and community, offering both a reflection of their struggles and a source of empowerment. Within this space, dolls and collectibles further provide a medium for gay men to explore themes of identity, often becoming symbols of empowerment and nostalgia within queer culture.In this episode, Chris Angelo, a Bratz collector, joins us to discuss the intersection of his queer identity with collecting and why pop culture collectibles provide a source of community for LGBTQ+ people.Additional Resources:Follow Chris Angelo on InstagramFollow The Bratz Barista on InstagramSupport the showGet Your Merch
