Welcome to a journey of discovery that began with a simple idea - LGBTQ+ History Trivia on Fridays with our community
One of our first LGBTQ+ history trivia games hosted on our IG @ClosetedHistory in April 2022
How It All Started
Closeted History isn't just a podcast; it's an exploration into the hidden stories and experiences of the LGBTQ+ community. It was 2022, and I was working as an educational consultant, helping teachers integrate LGBTQ+ inclusive lessons and practices into their classrooms. As a way to see what history was already out there, I started hosting LGBTQ+ History Fridays every week.
What I uncovered was a glaring absence of LGBTQ+ history in mainstream education. Even as educators, we lacked the necessary resources to impart this crucial knowledge in our classrooms. This realization fueled my passion to create a podcast that would fill this void.
Our mission is clear: to illuminate the hidden stories of our world. Countless LGBTQ+ individuals from the past lived and loved, their narratives echoing our own. Their stories deserve to be shared, serving as a reminder of our shared humanity to our community. Join us as we embark on this journey to unveil the concealed histories of the world and remind everyone that they are not alone. ♥️
