HORSESHOE QRAB IN THE PAPER!!!! Thanks so much to the @baltimorebanner for doing a story on Queer activism in Maryland, very flattered to be a part of this, thanks also to @preservequeerstories and @mdhistory.gay for helping facilitate this contact, and of course the wonderful work they all do!
Some more pics from @mdhistory.gay Gay History Night at @theclubcarbaltimore , ๐ธ @malwithcam !
Thanks everyone for coming out and helping to raise over $1000 to support Horseshoe Qrab :)
Standing room only crowd. 352 zines sold. Over $1300 raised for @hsqrab . Truly incredible. Wonderful invocations from @thedcsisters , readings by @revolutionarymagetarot , and an exciting intro to the Pansy Craze inspired production being imagined by @submersivellc !
But most special was that many of the early activists I talk about in the zine were there, and were able to see how excited people are to learn about our communityโs history.
I canโt really put into words how wild it all is. I am so proud of this work and so awed and inspired by the incredible community thatโs been coming together around it.
THEREโS ONE MORE LEFT!!! MARCH 12, 8PM, at @theclubcarbaltimore !!!! Hear some new stories and learn whatโs next for the gay little history nights!

THREE DAYS AWAY!!! Come 8PM this Thursday to @theclubcarbaltimore to learn all about our queer past, support good causes, hear about new exciting things in the community, and more!!
Let's learn our Her-story together! It's time to preserve, promote and celebrate the Queer History of Southern Maryland with Horseshoe Qrab!#southernmaryland #hsqrab #calvert #lgbthistory
Very excited to announce the first Horshoe Qrab zine! This one was created to showcase the project and to spread news, but future issues will be larger and discuss queer life in SOMD. If you'd like to submit anything to a zine, please reach out!
If you'd like a copy, you can pick one up at my table at @pride_somd or at @annapolispride ! Or you can also shoot me a DM!
Fantastic pics from a a performance Meg X. Menance did with @ex.quisite.corpze for the Fire Walk with Me show earlier this month @blackcatdc
so much fun! We were Lauran Dern's and Nic Cage's characters from "Wild At Heart!"Met a few people there who have agreed to be interviewed for the project! If you'd like to be interviewed, check the link in bio!
