Highly recommend! #skystorians 🗃️

A timely piece by @alanlee99.bsky.social for History Matters about the rainbow flag... (And a reminder that we're still seeking London-based scholars working in queer and/or trans* studies & willing to participate in a research roundtable @ Roehampton Uni in May. Pls get in touch if that's you!)
Earlier this month, I wrote about the Trump Administration's removal of the rainbow flag at the Stonewall National Monument, for History Matters. The post is now available to read: historymatters.sites.sheffield.ac.uk/blog-archive...
