Do we moderate our queer behavior in an assimilated world? What happens when Mattachine goes public? Or when the culturalists move forward with militant queer identity?

We’ll be playing season 1 of Mattachine over three nights, along with visuals of the early LGBTQ movement and discussions about the homophile movement. (Joey was a friend of Harry Hay’s!) We’ll also be chatting about how the podcast was produced and what’s ahead in season 2. CAN YOU HANDLE?

Season 2 picks up in 1954, right where we left off. (But you don’t need to hear season 1 to follow along.) A secret organization of lesbians forms under the FBI's watchful eye as the national Mattachine Society crumbles. A political revolution is launched by a drag queen. Police raid gay spaces and street queens fight back.
