Periodically Queer returns for Season 2 this June 2023, taking listeners back in time to uncover the stories behind the pages of notable LGBTQ+ publications from the 1950s and 1960s. Each episode of Periodically Queer offers a deep dive into the history of LGBTQ+ publications, and features excerpts of rare archival and oral history recordings, commentary from expert historians, and first-hand stories of queer life, love, resistance, and hope.
Periodically Queer Season Two spotlights the community-building power of ONE Archives Foundation’s very own ONE Magazine, the first publicly distributed gay and lesbian magazine in the country. Celebrating its 70th anniversary this year, ONE Magazine was first published in 1953, more than 15 years before the historic events at Stonewall. ONE Magazine’s groundbreaking public discourse on LGBTQ+ life was a catalyst in the movement for LGBTQ+ free speech rights.
