Queer Serial: American LGBTQ+ History

Happy LGBTQ+ History Month!Join me on YouTube to listen to this full special episode while I show you the Judy scrapbook discussed in this interview! youtu.be/tZgQ7hNFhpQ?si=R3OTHpcAX9zdqCvbWhen Andrea Eisner was a kid in the 1960s, she collected Judy Garland news clippings. Why was she so obsessed? And why do so many queer people gravitate toward Judy, and even form community around her? We discuss it all as we peruse Andrea’s Judy scrapbook, which I recently restored for her, along with our sister-in-Judy Sean.Andrea tells her story of coming out in Greenwich Village, waking up the next morning to hear Judy had died, and attending Judy’s funeral the same week she was present at the Stonewall Riots. Sean talks about discovering Judy as a kid and how his collection has grown over the decades to rival any Garland museum. We all talk about visiting Judy’s graves, and how we first met in Judy’s childhood home in Grand Rapids, Minnesota on her 100th birthday. Learn more about the 1969 Stonewall riots, as discussed in Andrea’s interview, on the Queer Serial podcast episode pages by clicking here: Part 1 & Part 2. You can support my LGBTQ+ archival history projects by subscribing to my Patreon, shopping on my Etsy, or donating here!

Remember when Jane Fonda went viral in 2020 for a decades-old clip of her advocating for gay rights? Here’s the speech she gave later that night at the Harvey Milk Gay Democratic Club’s Milk birthday dinner on May 21, 1980. I believe the clip on YouTube is mislabeled as 1979, because her speech that night very specifically references the interaction with the reporter—but please correct me if I’m wrong!This clip from “The Gay Life” hosted by Randy Alfred is courtesy our FABULOUS SPONSOR: THE GLBT HISTORICAL SOCIETY IN SAN FRANCISCO 💖 It features the voices of Randy Alfred, Supervisor Harry Britt, Jane Fonda, Tom Hayden, and Bill Kraus.Happy 92nd birthday, Harvey! ✨

Here's a little Queer Serial bonus show spin-off—direct from the Randy Wicker archive! After the success of Randy's 1962 gay radio show "Live & Let Live" (covered on the podcast in S2 E11) WBAI let him talk to anyone he wanted. So, he talked to everyone! We dug up the tapes, digitized them for the archive, and now you can hear 8 bizarre interviews (of the 10 we've found so far!), each episode beginning with an interview between me & Randy about how he found these fascinating interview subjects.

Season 3 begins April 12. Follow along on Instagram @queerserial through the season to see photos of the real activists and events featured in every episode. Season 3 picks up in 1963, as militant gay activists take cues from the Civil Rights Movement. Queer activists will be forced to go toe-to-toe against the doctors, ministers, and government officials who discredit them as sick, sinners, and criminals. The fight for liberation will lead them into some of the most famous raids in queer history at California Hall, Compton’s Cafeteria, and Stonewall. They’ll march in the first defiant pickets for our rights, and they will shake the walls of the United States Government. Queer Serial is told in serialized episodes.
