You may not have come across the name Sukie De La Croix before, but the Chicago based gay activist and performance artist grew up in post war Bath, and from there joined the fledgling LGBTQ press, reporting through the turbulent years of the AIDS crisis. Sukie relocated in the nineties to Chicago where he continued to work in gay journalism whilst exploring his own place in the counterculture. He has published several books, and his autobiography is called “the Memoir of a Groucho Marxist: A Very British Fairytale”. Another is an exploration of the early gay and alternative press, entitled “Out of the Underground: Homosexuals, the Radical Press and the Rise and Fall of the Gay Liberation Front”. This week, Sukie joins Marc Feilion and Fausto Fernos on the Chicago based LGBTQ podcast Feast of Fun where he talks about his life and career, and offers his take on contemporary Anglo-American cultural issues such as Gillian Anderson's staggering portrayal of Margaret Thatcher in the Crown.
