Lindsay Lohan & The Noughties Obsession With “Secretly Gay” Stars

Lowbrow

Lindsay Lohan may be starring in the cheesiest Christmas movie of the year, but once upon a time, she starred in a very different media circus.

This episode Holly introduces Shannen to a particularly toxic magazine trope of the noughties - the Secretly Gay cover. We learn about Lindsay's very public relationship and break up with DJ Samantha Ronson, how the world reacted, and what is says about culture at the time.
