We won't be here next week, so we leave you with an extra long episode ❤️
Kelsey takes us on a trip back to the extremely homophobic 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s where they discuss the rise and fall of Harvey Milk - one of the first openly queer politicians in U.S. history. We highlight Milk’s own personal history as well as budding gay rights organizations, fellow politicians, assassination attempts, blatant discrimination, Anita Bryant, Gemini behavior, death threats, the Briggs Act, and more. Harvey Milk is an incredibly important figure in queer history and we couldn’t celebrate Pride Month without mentioning the #1 Queen himself.
