🇺🇸 LGBT+ American Queer History - Jeffrey Masters

From the first brick thrown at the Stonewall INN more than 50 years ago to the Ballroom Culture & RuPaul, Join us for a journey discovering the History and current Gay Queer culture in the US. The United States is the third biggest Country in the World, after China and India. It seems that all LGBTQ+ people live in the US, yet they resemble only 4.2% of the world LGBTQ+ population. We had a conversation with Jeffrey Masters, the creator and host of the long-running interview podcast "LGBTQ&A", recommended by The New York Times. Guests include Pete Buttigieg, Laverne Cox, Melissa Etheridge, Senator Tammy Baldwin, and over 200 others. Masters is a GLAAD Media Award-winning journalist and has also appeared on MSNBC and NPR.
