The Gay Press: 140 Years in the Making

If there's one thing that unites the LGBTQ+ community, it's having a lot to say - so it's no surprise that the gay press has a colorful history in the US. From fights with the Postmaster General to physique magazines, we dive into 140 years of the gay press in this Pride Special episode of This Month in Queer History!

TMQH Rerun: The Lavender Panthers

Our host, Julian, is sick this month, so we're bringing back a fan favorite episode from our first season - enjoy the story of gay vigilantes from the 1970's! Armed with guns and bats, the Lavender Panthers patrolled the streets of San Francisco to protect LGBTQ+ people from homophobic hate crimes from 1973-74.  Check out our show notes, linked below, for our sources, as well as articles, books, and documentaries in which you can learn more about the Lavender Panthers and other topics discussed in this episode. Thank you for listening! (Content notes: homophobic slurs used in quotations within their historical context.)  Show Notes: https://docs.google.com/document/d/16x_Ah46VIOT6asoc3CWeJwoccLcABEoa4siRJ1SxO0M/edit?usp=sharing [https://docs.google.com/document/d/16x_Ah46VIOT6asoc3CWeJwoccLcABEoa4siRJ1SxO0M/edit?usp=sharing] Follow CAMP Rehoboth: fb.com/camprehobothcommunitycenter [https://www.facebook.com/camprehoboth.communitycenter/] camprehoboth.org [https://www.camprehoboth.org/] instagram.com/camprehoboth [https://www.instagram.com/camprehoboth/]
