Queering the Lone Star State explores the history of the movement for queer equality in Texas. In this first season, we will look at nine Texas legal cases that expanded the rights of LGBTQ Americans. Join us as we talk to activists, attorneys, journalists, legal experts, and historians who help us understand where the struggle for queer rights has been, where it is now, and where it’s going. Queering the Lone Star State is made possible in part by a grant from Humanities Texas, the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
