Episode Two: “To Be in Solidarity with People from the Past That We'll Never Know or Meet”
In this episode we talk to Rae Garringer. Rae uses they/them pronouns and is the founder of Country Queers, a multimedia oral history project that uplifts often unheard stories of country and small town queer experiences across intersecting layers of identity including race, class, gender, age, religion, and occupation.
We talk about the storytelling through oral history and journalism, and the role of care in different situations. We also discuss the role of solidarity as caring for people from the pas that we'll never meet.
