"Infamous Crimes" is a new serial in a new town with no Mattachine, no Bilitis, and no one to turn to — and a true scandal in queer history. In 1955, citizens of Boise were sent into a panic and they gathered to decide how to eradicate their town's homosexuals. But they were just a piece in the game being played by the overfunded police and the upper class of Idaho. 💰

    "Infamous Crimes: Sex Panic in Boise" — Coming Jan. 11

    Thanks to YOU and your support, I have an all-new serial coming next week for you.

    I've been fascinated by the Boise gay sex panic of 1955 for a long time. While working on the first season of Queer Serial I kept coming across letters, homophile publications, and news clips about the scandal. I had hoped to include it in season 2 of QS but the more I looked into it, the bigger Boise's story became. It became an 8-episode limited series.

    Can't wait for you to hear! 💖

    xoxo

    A standalone story, and sort of a prequel to A Queer Serial season 2! On the main pod, we'll soon be following the Mattachine Society of Washington. Here, we'll explore the first Mattachine group in D.C., led by Dwight Huggins in the early 1950s.

    We met one of the members way back in the very first episode of the podcast, 1920s Society for Human Rights co-founder Henry Gerber.

    Once again, things quickly go south.
