QueerAF Podcast: Season 3, Episode 4 – Sebastian Hendra from Historical Homos helps us uncover what really happened the night of the Stonewall Riots – and what followed – listen now

In this episode: 

Together with Sebastian Hendra from Historical Homos, we revisit the night that changed LGBTQIA+ history - the start of the Stonewall Riots. Sebastian helps us unpack what really happened at the Stonewall Inn, building a timeline of the evening as it unfolded and how the events that began in June 1969 sparked a global movement.

Student Pride volunteer Max Taylor sits down with the University of Westminster’s Nikki Hayden and Pride in London’s Rhammel O’Dwyer-Afflick to discuss what happened in the year after the riots, the lessons we can all learn from it, and what the events of that fateful week mean to young LGBTQIA+ people today.

Featuring:

• Sebastian Hendra – Co-founder, Historical Homos
• Nikki Hayden – University of Westminster LGBTQI+ Society
• Max Taylor – National Student Pride volunteer
• Rhammel O’Dwyer-Afflick – Pride in London
• Jamie Wareham – Journalist and broadcaster
