In the first episode of Periodically Queer Season 2, host traci kato-kiriyama reminds us of the courageous power of LGBTQ+ youth by uncovering the inspiring history of Vanguard Magazine. In San Francisco’s Tenderloin District in the mid 1960s, Vanguard served as an epicenter of activist publication and organizing by queer and trans street youth facing discrimination, neglect, and abuse at the hands of society and the police.
Interviews with historians Joseph Plaster and Jeremy Sass detail how Vanguard organizers forged a political consciousness through fusing activism, queer sensibility, and religion. Activist Megan Rohrer touches on the role of Glide Memorial Church in Vanguard’s history and the radical, misfit spirit of expression infused in the pages of Vanguard Magazine.
Periodically Queer is a project by One Institute (formerly ONE Archives Foundation), the oldest active LGBTQ+ organization in the United States.
