A Lesbian Ghost Story

Spooky season is starting early this year! The "Ladies of Llangollen" are the cottage-core lesbian ghosts that (allegedly) haunt an idyllic country retreat in Wales.

What's So Queer About Indie Twee?

What if indie sleaze had a crafty and politically active older sibling? Enter: indie twee. In a tale as old as time, we look at a subculture that is older and queerer than it looks.  Thank you to Terry Poison for the use of our theme song "Comme Ci Comme Ca"  Join our FREE Discord  [https://discord.gg/966EhVKhNS] Find us on Instagram, [https://www.instagram.com/rainbowhistoryclass/?hl=en] TikTok and [https://www.tiktok.com/@rainbowhistoryclass?lang=en]Patreon.

Why Do Queer People Love a Mullet?

The mullet is undeniably one of the most decisive haircuts of the last century but where did it come from, why is it queer and why do some people hate it so much? This week we take a (metaphorical) trip to military bases, hockey stadiums and the Country Music Hall of Fame in an effort to retrace this quirky cut's history.  Thank you to Terry Poison for the use of our theme song "Comme Ci Comme Ca"  Join our FREE Discord  [https://discord.gg/966EhVKhNS] Find us on Instagram, [https://www.instagram.com/rainbowhistoryclass/?hl=en] TikTok and [https://www.tiktok.com/@rainbowhistoryclass?lang=en]Patreon.

The Sapphic IT Girl of 1920's Berlin

There may not have been sapphic TikTok in the 1920's, but there was a sapphic IT girl. This week in class we tell you about Renée Sintenis, a talent sculptor, the 'most photographic woman of the Weimar Republic' AND the first LGBTQ+ Olympic medalist. She took home a medal for...ART!  Thank you to Terry Poison for the use of our theme song "Comme Ci Comme Ca"  Join our FREE Discord  [https://discord.gg/966EhVKhNS] Find us on Instagram, [https://www.instagram.com/rainbowhistoryclass/?hl=en] TikTok and [https://www.tiktok.com/@rainbowhistoryclass?lang=en]Patreon.

The Macaroni Panic

The humble macaroni pasta found its way into the spotlight of 18th Century British society...but not for the reason you may think. From 'Rakes' to 'Fops' and everything in between, we explore just how this naughty noodle sauced its way into redefining homosexuality from an act to an identity.  Thank you to Terry Poison for the use of our theme song "Comme Ci Comme Ca"  Join our FREE Discord  [https://discord.gg/966EhVKhNS] Find us on Instagram, [https://www.instagram.com/rainbowhistoryclass/?hl=en] TikTok and [https://www.tiktok.com/@rainbowhistoryclass?lang=en]Patreon.
