Welcome to a Mattachine meeting for the 21st century! Join Devlyn Cam, & queer activists, legends, and other very special guests as we discuss…everything!

This is a NEW BONUS PODCAST produced to fund my many new queer history archival projects—including archiving the Marsha P. Johnson & Randy Wicker papers. Legendary Mattachino Randy Wicker and I are archiving their lifetimes of activism. Supporters like you can fund my queer history projects, while looking through the archives with me, and listening to the fabulous new bonus show.

JOIN MY PATREON BEFORE FEB 1, 2022 AND I’LL SEND YOU ALL THE REWARDS FROM EVERY LEVEL! 💖

My very first guest is original Cockette and genderfuck visual storyteller RUMI MISSABU! He’s a Hollywood kid who fell off the grid, and became a star in 1970s San Francisco. In a special 2-part first episode of Mattachine Meeting, we talk about everything from ancient history to marriage & pronouns, along with Rumi’s many stories.
