Happy LGBTQ+ History Month!
Join me on YouTube to listen to this full special episode while I show you the Judy scrapbook discussed in this interview! youtu.be/tZgQ7hNFhpQ?si=R3OTHpcAX9zdqCvb
When Andrea Eisner was a kid in the 1960s, she collected Judy Garland news clippings. Why was she so obsessed? And why do so many queer people gravitate toward Judy, and even form community around her? We discuss it all as we peruse Andrea’s Judy scrapbook, which I recently restored for her, along with our sister-in-Judy Sean.
Andrea tells her story of coming out in Greenwich Village, waking up the next morning to hear Judy had died, and attending Judy’s funeral the same week she was present at the Stonewall Riots. Sean talks about discovering Judy as a kid and how his collection has grown over the decades to rival any Garland museum. We all talk about visiting Judy’s graves, and how we first met in Judy’s childhood home in Grand Rapids, Minnesota on her 100th birthday.
Learn more about the 1969 Stonewall riots, as discussed in Andrea’s interview, on the Queer Serial podcast episode pages by clicking here: Part 1 & Part 2.

Historian & author Lisa Davis has written two books—UNDERCOVER GIRL and UNDER THE MINK (also available wherever books are sold).
Undercover Girl follows the true story of Angela Calomiris, a lesbian photographer in the Village who was undercover in the Communist Party, secretly working as an informant for the FBI. Under the Mink tells the story of drag kings & queens who worked in the mafia’s Village nightclubs in the 1940s, who Lisa got to know personally.
In tomorrow’s Mattachine Meeting, we’ll talk about how she discovered these stories!

Remember when Jane Fonda went viral in 2020 for a decades-old clip of her advocating for gay rights? Here’s the speech she gave later that night at the Harvey Milk Gay Democratic Club’s Milk birthday dinner on May 21, 1980. I believe the clip on YouTube is mislabeled as 1979, because her speech that night very specifically references the interaction with the reporter—but please correct me if I’m wrong!
This clip from “The Gay Life” hosted by Randy Alfred is courtesy our FABULOUS SPONSOR: THE GLBT HISTORICAL SOCIETY IN SAN FRANCISCO 💖 It features the voices of Randy Alfred, Supervisor Harry Britt, Jane Fonda, Tom Hayden, and Bill Kraus.
Happy 92nd birthday, Harvey! ✨

Here's a little Queer Serial bonus show spin-off—direct from the Randy Wicker archive! After the success of Randy's 1962 gay radio show "Live & Let Live" (covered on the podcast in S2 E11) WBAI let him talk to anyone he wanted. So, he talked to everyone! We dug up the tapes, digitized them for the archive, and now you can hear 8 bizarre interviews (of the 10 we've found so far!), each episode beginning with an interview between me & Randy about how he found these fascinating interview subjects.
Listen to the show for $3/month, and help me preserve & share more queer history at patreon.com/queerserial.

Supporters like you can fund my queer history projects, while looking through the archives with me, and listening to the fabulous new bonus show.

My very first guest is original Cockette and genderfuck visual storyteller RUMI MISSABU! He’s a Hollywood kid who fell off the grid, and became a star in 1970s San Francisco. In a special 2-part first episode of Mattachine Meeting, we talk about everything from ancient history to marriage & pronouns, along with Rumi’s many stories.

Season 3 begins April 12. Follow along on Instagram @queerserial through the season to see photos of the real activists and events featured in every episode.
Season 3 picks up in 1963, as militant gay activists take cues from the Civil Rights Movement. Queer activists will be forced to go toe-to-toe against the doctors, ministers, and government officials who discredit them as sick, sinners, and criminals. The fight for liberation will lead them into some of the most famous raids in queer history at California Hall, Compton’s Cafeteria, and Stonewall. They’ll march in the first defiant pickets for our rights, and they will shake the walls of the United States Government.
Queer Serial is told in serialized episodes. Check out this handy episode guide!

Thanks for listening! Next week: Episode 2 “Disorderly Establishment”
Check out the podcast on Instagram @queerserial to see the FULL visual trailer!
Season 2picks 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.
The conservative gays who commandeered the movement in Season 1 push against the queers who don't conform to suits and skirts. The masks come off and a militant minority is rising.
Mattachine: A Queer Serial is told in serialized episodes.
Created by Devlyn Camp.
