In this episode, we explore the impact of disco on LGBTQ+ rights and the evolving societal norms during the transformative 1970's. Disco was not just about dancing the night away; it was a revolutionary movement that gave a voice to those in the margins of society. The rise of disco from its origins in LGBTQ+ clubs, to mainstream success in the late 1970's transformed the world of music and helped pave the way for an intersectional fight for human rights.
