Episode 46: NOW that’s what I call Queer History Part 4 - the best history from the 80s, 90s and right NOW!

TW: It’s no secret that society has very rarely been kind to queer people. In this episode, there will be mentions of laws, violence, discrimination, etc against people of the non-cis-het varieties. We will not be graphic, but we also don’t want to censor the history of our queer ancestors. In addition, we did our best to include as much as we could find in this timeline, but I’m sure that there are so many monumental events that were missed. Please forgive us for this and if there is something you wish to be mentioned, reach out to us and we will see what we can do!

This week, Mx. Dizzy and Pup Rekkr talk about some Queer History in the Kinky Tavern’s mini-series “Queer History!” We started our research for this portion of Queer History at the beginning of the “new world,” America and plan to cover up til the most recent events. Of course, so many of the timelines found are very ethnocentric to America and there’s not a wealth of easily found information for other areas of the world, though we do plan to dig them up to share with you as we continue this series! So, our story begins (in this episode) with the 1980s with Castro District’s influence on gay culture! We cover the beginning of the AIDS epidemic, activism, art, philanthropy, research, and more! This era shows a lot of progress and backsliding in legislation that continues today.
