JD, you rock! This looks great. Do you have plans to extend the study past  
1985?

I am  pleased to announce Queer Music History 101, a special project of my  
website/radio show Queer Music Heritage. It was designed as a study guide, 
or  lesson plan, and I hope it appeals to those LGBT Studies courses now 
found at  many universities around the country. Having produced my radio show 
for over  eleven years I naturally feel that our music history should be 
preserved and  shared, and this would be a logical way for me to give back to 
the  community.

The basic structure is a two-hour audio portion, that  includes my 
describing the history using short song clips, 65 in all, spanning  1926 to 
1985. 
But a more in-depth, and I feel, preferred option is to follow  the lesson 
itself, either on a website version or in a special “flipbook.” The  flipbook 
option was chosen, realizing the intended audience, to help keep the  
attention of a generation weaned on iPads, etc. Built into the lesson are a  
dozen 
“questions” that may prompt classroom discussion or additional research,  
or be assigned as essays. 

And also in the lesson you can stop and  click to hear the entire songs, as 
that fleshes out the understanding of that  song and artist’s place in 
history. There are also included in the lesson over  130 links for additional 
information, many for artist interviews on my  website. Of course internet 
access is required, but the lesson is completely  free, and for simplicity I 
have given the lesson its own domain,  at

Of course you do not have to be taking  a course to enjoy it…:) The 
two-hour audio portion will also serve double  duty, as my February QMH show,  
here

and of course you  can find the playlist in both locations
