Back-in-the-Day Sh!t

This week, we talked about our history as queer people and a community. The importance of what happened before we arrived on this planet was the topic of the first podcast we ever did and is as relevant and fundamentally critical now as it was then and ever shall be. We must learn about our ancestry, study the thoughts and struggles of those that came before us, sit at the feet of knowledge, and use it all as fuel to push ourselves and our neighbors forward. Lest we repeat the past or forever remain children of the unknown.

We should listen to the stories of those that came before we did. The triumphs of our predecessors can teach us. The experiences of others can help us grow. The lessons learned are ours to inherit, freed of all the struggle and filled with the gain. It may seem strange to focus on things that happened before we were born but, like the book we featured this week, there is so much that we can learn from each other, from every generation, and from all the things that have changed thanks to the efforts of what occurred outside of our memory. Try it. You will be a better person from hearing these stories. I promise :)
