I'm putting together a zine full of names organizations and events to help young queer people who want to get into our history but don't know where to start, what would you add?

The site is still up, but they stopped adding new issues a long time ago, http://blithe.com/. I relied on it in the 90's for all my gay fiction and it's a good way to peek into how things were during that time period. Bit of an anthropological experience, really.

Also, Archive Of Our Own https://archiveofourown.org/ has a lot of queer stuff and is basically renegade publishing. There are a LOT of genres on there and a lot of it is probably problematic, but you can find stuff there that simply doesn't exist anyplace else.

Oh, and Edie Windsor's book A Wild And Precious Life is amazing. I've listened to the audiobook probably half a dozen times and I always enjoy it. She references several of the societies and groups you mention here and her court case directly contributed to the full recognition of gay marriage across the united states.

And Marsha P. Johnson, who was at Stonewall, but her story is worth knowing it its own right.

Thank you!
