Interview of Honey Pluton

Honey Pluton discusses his beginnings as an anarchist in the suburbs outside Chicago, bartending as a college dropout in London, cultivating spaces in the DIY-punk scene in Seattle, and finding home and chosen family in New York’s comedy scene. Later, he navigates the perils of trans nightlife without agenda and what it means to have a queer cultural experience outside of who you want to have sex with. He probes at the lost meaning of transgression, explains why he favors religion over spirituality, and wields the power in being a multi-hyphenate trans person.
