Friday, 8 December, 2023
James and Daniel fire up the gay time machine and bring along friend of the pod Phillip Zonkel of Q Voice News. They set the dial for the late 1960s, the coordinates for Wilmington, CA where a little bar called The Patch, run by Long Beach resident Lee Glaze, became the site of one of the earliest known gay liberation protests, pre-dating the Stonewall Riots in New York City. Buckle up for discussions on police homophobia, male-on-male dancing, and why queer bars have always been so central to LGBTQ safety, community, and activism.LinksLong live queer media!
