Queer History They DON’T Teach in School (But SHOULD)

This week on Queer 101, Peppermint and Hugh, the historian with the receipts, are diving into the untold layers of queer history you probably didn’t learn in school. 🌈They talk in depth about resilience, resistance, and what it really means to hold onto hope. And as always their conversation takes some unexpected and exciting turns — from the results of the New York mayoral election to celebrating the wins of immigrant leaders making real change.Pep and Hugh also get real about ongoing battles for equality, the importance of self-initiation, and how we can all break free from the boxes society tries to put us in. It’s smart, heartfelt, and a whole lot of fun — exactly what Queer 101 does best. 💖00:00 Introduction to Queer 10101:22 Deep Dive into George Takei's Memoir01:54 Reflections on Recent Elections03:17 Challenges to Democracy and Equality05:33 Historical Oppression and Resistance14:12 Personal Stories of Resistance20:13 Reflecting on Historical Injustices21:02 Connecting Global Struggles23:38 Celebrity Activism and Crushes27:13 The Closet and Societal Expectations34:01 Political Hypocrisy and Elections36:51 Book Club Announcement38:47 Podcast Wrap-Up and FarewellFollow us at:@peppermint247@hughoryan@pridehousemediaWrite to us at:[email protected]
