About this listen
In this episode, Peter Taylor—once president of the Lexington, Kentucky Gay Liberation Front—revisits the raw, radical beginnings of queer organizing in Appalachia. From attempting to gain official recognition on a conservative college campus to being arrested under the pretext of solicitation, Peter doesn’t shy away from the shame, the fear, and the fierce resistance.
You’ll hear how a simple act—offering someone a couch—was twisted into a legal weapon against him. His reflections reveal the nightmarish absurdities of entrapment laws, the weight of public outing, and the resolve it takes to push back against a system built on hiding. Tune in to walk beside a pioneer who knew early on that, if even living openly was dangerous, that was precisely the point.
