Check out the podcast on Instagram @queerserial to see the FULL visual trailer! Season 2 picks up in 1954, right where we left off. (But you don’t need to hear season 1 to follow along.) A secret organization of lesbians forms under the FBI's watchful eye 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 conservative gays who commandeered the movement in Season 1 push against the queers who don't conform to suits and skirts. The masks come off and a militant minority is rising. Mattachine: A Queer Serial is told in serialized episodes. Created by Devlyn Camp. Bonus episodes! Cute buttons! Cute mugs! Cute archival research photos! Join me on Patreon at patreon.com/queerserial. Our first bonus episode (June 1!) is also a true queer history story called “A Murder in Midtown.” It’s a wild tale.

Devlyn Camp’s Queer Serial: American LGBTQ+ History unfolds like a gripping radio drama, but every story is rooted in fact. This isn't a dry lecture; it's an immersive soundscape that pulls you into the pivotal, often hidden, moments that have shaped queer life in America. Each season focuses on a different true story, weaving together narrative storytelling, historical research, and firsthand accounts to create something that feels both urgent and deeply human. You’ll hear the tensions, the triumphs, and the personal risks that define these chapters of our past, presented with the pacing and depth of a documentary series. The podcast naturally sits at the intersection of history and true crime, exploring systemic injustices, personal bravery, and cultural shifts that textbooks often overlook. By dramatizing these real events, Camp makes the struggles and joys of LGBTQ+ communities resonate on a personal level, reminding us that history is made of individual lives. Tune in for a compelling blend of education and emotion, where the past is given a voice and its lessons echo into the present. This is history told not from a distance, but from the inside.
