A part of erasing queer history is simply making it easy to forget. A queerphobic society benefits when you throw your hands up and admit defeat. But a part of community work is actively deciding to learn your history and then sharing that with the people around you.

Social media is flooded with information, and it’s hard to take the time to sit down and learn. That’s why newsletters, books, and meetings with the community are so important. For a long time Making Queer History has worked to aggregate stories from queer history, but this year we are focusing on putting the tools in your hands. This means answering more questions, posting more on our Patreon (for free members and paid), and expanding what options we have for learning.

We will be asking for more feedback and sharing more community discussions, and the best way to be a part of this is to join our Patreon. You will get regular emails with articles about queer history, queer book recommendations, and information on what we are working on next. You can join for free, but we also love the people who pay us for our work. Queer history is a community responsibility, let’s work together.
