'Looking back, I recognize in Lou’s burgers my first taste of food that didn’t give a fuck about nutrition or the drab strictures of home economics...I see them now, those burgers, as unflinchingly, unapologetically, magnificently queer.' https://t.co/n0pKljdDNI

“We kissed and embraced each other for two hours. We handed out copies of the bibliography. We called out encouragement..that really put us on the map.”

—Barbara Gittings on the 1971 “Hug-A-Homosexual” booth at @ALALibrary's annual conference

I first read about the plight of the Joiners Arms when I was writing about the importance of gay bars. This is a good update!

'The protection of our queer spaces is an ongoing necessity. These venues, buildings and monuments combine to become our churches...Places where we learn and grow into producing loving adults, and places where we impart our knowledge and pass on that important history.'

A snapshot of the 1981 Lesbian Strength March ✊ ⁠
⁠
Typically these marches were held a week before the Gay Pride March, giving visibility to lesbians within the LGBTQ+ community.⁠

Did you ever attend one of these marches?

Audre Lorde was foundational reading for me as a young queer woman. She understood the interconnectivity of liberation struggles and wrote about it in a very accessible way.
Anyone else have those books or writers that initially set them on their path?

[LGBT+ Cultural Heritage @LGBTheritage]

Sunday reading: Art & Queer Culture! A fascinating read so far
