Meet HOT LAVENDER: A Queer history newsletter exploring lesser-known events in our community’s past and threading them to the current moment.

We’re beginning with a special four part series about the year between the Stonewall Riots and the first Pride March—a tumultuous year that saw young Queer radicals organize at unprecedented levels and drag long-existing gay & lesbian rights orgs into a new era.

All year long, we’ll celebrate our community’s storied history on a weekly basis, bringing more obscure events to light, and delving further into ones we thought we knew.

Together, we’ll curate Queer history that meets the moment.
