Season 3 Preview

Season 3 begins April 12. Follow along on Instagram @queerserial through the season to see photos of the real activists and events featured in every episode.

Season 3 picks up in 1963, as militant gay activists take cues from the Civil Rights Movement. Queer activists will be forced to go toe-to-toe against the doctors, ministers, and government officials who discredit them as sick, sinners, and criminals. The fight for liberation will lead them into some of the most famous raids in queer history at California Hall, Compton’s Cafeteria, and Stonewall. They’ll march in the first defiant pickets for our rights, and they will shake the walls of the United States Government.

Queer Serial is told in serialized episodes. Check out this handy episode guide!
