Amazingg. We heard all about Gwenda's Garage from @SCQueerHistory when Dan Glass came to talk to us!

[Queer as Fact @queerasfact]

Today marks 54 years since the riots which began with a police raid on the Stonewall Inn, and were a catalyst for the modern gay rights movement. I love this photo by Fred McDarrah taken outside the Stonewall in the days following the raid.

Happy birthday to Alice Anderson (right)! In 1919 she started an all-female garage in Melbourne, which taught women how to drive and service cars. Here she is in 1919, according to her sister, "pretending to be the boyfriend" of another young woman. #queerhistory #PrideMonth

[The Cultural Tutor @culturaltutor]

This is a real place. It is a housing estate called Les Espaces d'Abraxas, built near Paris in 1982.

And it's one of the most important buildings in the world...
