G Ragovin

G Ragovin’s Queer Homes Oral History Project investigates and documents queer communal living histories in Philadelphia for people who could not or would not create “normal” families for themselves. In its first phase, the project will focus on gay presences within and influences on the Movement for a New Society (MNS) and examine the intersection of radical praxis and queer politics. Additional phases will examine neighborhoods, houses, eras, and notable individuals. Filling a major gap in the written history of queer Philadelphia as well as the United States, G’s project will preserve queer history and provide opportunities for individuals to learn from the successes and mistakes of their predecessors.
