Super Queer History

We moved houses. Over a year later, I am getting back into working on this site. I am also building a Queer Gear Store. Check it out too!

As part of the work I’m doing on this site, we are moving to a different (and less expensive) server for hosting. As I do that I will be changing the look and feel of the site, and plan to start writing some of the articles I’ve been collecting source documents for. Currently this is an archive of information, but there is more to come.
