Season 1 Recap

You don’t have to hear season 1 to join us for season 2, but in case you wanna brush up…!

Season 2 picks up in 1954, right where we left off. A secret organization of lesbians forms as the national Mattachine Society crumbles. A political revolution is launched by a drag queen. Police raid gay spaces and street queens fight back. The masks come off and a militant minority is rising.

The true story of American LGBTQ liberation from day 1 to Stonewall.

A Queer Serial season 2 begins June 3.
