Digging into The LGTBQ History Project’s vast interview archive, we portray the individuals who led from the frontlines, worked behind the scenes, and demonstrated resilience in their fight for civil rights. We seek to empower activists to vocalize their experiences in unfiltered narratives—a mission that remains singular. We are all about global recognition, preservation, and homage to often marginalized legacies. The QueerCore Podcast underscores the pressing need to uphold historical preservation and acknowledge narratives that might otherwise fade into oblivion.
