The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence (with chapters WORLDWIDE) have fundraised MILLIONS of $$ over the past 30+ years for the homeless in the LGBT community, HIV/AIDS research and care, & youth organizations. This is shameful.

This is super random, but I’m fascinated with learning about LGBTQ communities through historical t-shirts. Here are some Sisters t-shirts from my digital @WearingGayHist archive. Especially love Sister Boom Boom’s campaign tee when running for SF Board of Supervisors in 1982.

A beautiful t-shirt.

We don’t just collect pro- LGBTQ historical artifacts. In the early 1990s, a Syracuse University fraternity sold these homophobic t-shirts. “It’s an exit, not an entry.”

A new school year means three new graduate research assistants working on Mapping the @GayGuides. These @csuf American Studies grad students are taking a deep dive into the Darmon guides!

What makes a bar super? Our co-director @EGonzaba dives into spaces marked as “superbars,” a new type of venue for gay Americans listed in the Damron guides beginning in the 1970s. https://t.co/0z1HC9MTv1
