Phil Donahue RIP. One of the greats. In 1987, shortly after I told my grandmother I was gay (she was 84), she took me on a walk and explained that she watched the "Phil Donahue Show" so she knew that I couldn't change. It gave her comfort to know that Donahue was supportive. https://t.co/iz4wivMWFX

Loved chatting with Robert O’Shaughnessy for his "You May Find Yourself" podcast (YMFY is a podcast about work, career, and finding a path—mine was very winding and occasionally tortured!). Hope you enjoy what you hear! 👇

New You May Find Yourself podcast alert via @thisisoesounds. Today I speak with @EricBMarcus of @MakingGayHistry. The episode is on the website, on Apple podcasts, and on all the podcatchers including @Spotify here: https://t.co/mF7mSnZWrh

Our LGBTQ+ ancestors worked too hard to get us our freedom to turn back. We won't go back! https://t.co/DUXmFpC1DU

Making History in so many ways!

NEW: We just launched the first video of our campaign. “We choose freedom.” https://t.co/AJ2WCAupRt

If not for @evanwolfson we wouldn't be marking today's NY marriage equality anniversary. Evan is a hero of the LGBTQ+ movement with a great story to tell. That's why @MakingGayHistry is sharing an episode of @jor_gonsalves' podcast featuring Evan. Listen! https://t.co/LNHlb1RtK2 https://t.co/Zayp3tQuME

RT @SlatePodcasts: "I was hooked and it's so beautifully produced. It's extraordinary. I've not heard anything like it before." @EricBMar…

Such a fun conversation with the incredibly talented and creative @c_cauterucci who produced one of the best LGBTQ history podcast series I've ever heard. Listen to ep. 1 and you'll be hooked. But don't forget the "live on stage" final episode!

“Going into the archives and hearing tape — as in your podcast — it's so evocative ... these voices bring to life that history in a way that reading about it can't." —Eric Hear Eric on stage w/ @slate's @c_cauterucci for #SlowBurn Live last month. https://t.co/GjVhG5WdDW

I love the past because we know how it turned out. Take a break from today's insanity & join @c_cauterucci on stage at the Tribeca Festival with ME in the hot seat. Also @deray and other guests, to cap the extraordinary Slow Burn Briggs Initiative series. https://t.co/0EoIo32Gyo

Our backlash to the anti-LGBTQ backlash continues to unfold! What is it that President Obama says? VOTE! We've got the power when we use it to vote out the bigots or to keep them out in the first place. https://t.co/MKribPCi5X

If you listen to one podcast about LGBTQ history (in addition to @MakingGayHistry), this is it! Riveting! Illuminating! Transporting! The best kind of time travel through brilliant storytelling and archival recordings. Listen!

Christina Cauterucci @c_cauterucci

I wrote about the extraordinary ordinariness of Harvey Milk - why he was such an effective leader, what people really thought of him in the 1970s, and why he still matters as a gay icon today

Our @MakingGayHistry founding producer @saraburningham found the one and only recorded interview (as far as we know) with Ernestine. From 1965. Barbara Gittings and Kay Lahusen conducted the interview. Extraordinary to hear! So go ahead and listen!

My favorites! I’m often asked who among the 100+ people I interviewed for the MGH book in the 1980s were my faves. There were many, but my favorite faves were Barbara and Kay, the happy warriors of our movement who were out there fighting for us years before Stonewall and after.

The first annual July 4 picket outside Philadelphia’s Independence Hall took place in 1965. Kay Lahusen and her partner, Barbara Gittings, were there. 📸 Nancy M. Tucker, via ONE Archives Eric: Was that thrilling? Barbara and Kay: Oh, yes! 🔊 https://t.co/8ge6Fz29IH https://t.co/ioJQnXBB7A

RT @c_cauterucci: The best part of making Slow Burn was finding moments of hilarity and joy in my interviews. Queer history is full of ridi…

Love these! When I interviewed Kay Lahusen a few years back and asked her to fill in the blank, "I made gay history when..." she had so many answers that we almost ran out of tape! Exaggerating, of course, but Kay and her life partner Barbara Gittings changed the world for us!

Outstanding first session led by @EricBMarcus from @MakingGayHistry with a focus on incorporating #LGBTQ history into the classroom. When kids learn about folks like them they are empowered to succeed. @NEAToday @nysut
