It probably broke the chain of historic transmission, right? If you found something interesting in your grandfather’s letters in 1952, you definitely burned them.Yeah! You had to destroy it. It was dangerous.
Omg a powerful exhibit would be the bridges we burned - burning of letters, etc. of queer people and their contributions and the disruption it caused, the revolutions its sparked, etc.

So we can’t point to specifics very easily and say, ah, that one maintained its place in culture and helps define queer people going forward. It’s all gotten lost. We just have indicators of this art form.
This also resonates with my desire to want to document and explore weekday drag as lens with which we can look at the impact of drag on culture and the impact that has on people creating it - not just a weekend fantasy, but something that's around every corner, etc.

I think that’s what’s interesting—you’ll encounter stories of individual performers that makes them seem exceptional, but when you get beyond the Great Man theory of history or whatever, and you start looking for people—once you make an effort to look for, like you said, that conceptual space, people will start popping up in much greater numbers than the narrative teaches us to expect.
Love the phrasing of this question, b/c it prompts you to de-center the idea of one person being that to the the various ways different people contribute to this energy/movement, etc. not just one Zora, but Zoras, Andres, Angelas, etc. It's why community is so important. You're all contributing to something

And once I understood that conceptual space—a lot of the process of this research was understanding where there was conceptual space for queer people, and then actually going into the records and saying, what do I find? If I believe that there is a space for queer people in the theater for all these reasons, what records could I find relating that to Brooklyn? Often there were very rich records. That’s how I did my research. That’s why I think the theaters were so important. They also offered space for people of color. It was not the same amount of space; it didn’t pay as well; it was not as prestigious. But it was a place to find the stories of queer people of color that were kept almost nowhere else.
OMGGGG. Say that!!!!! So many thoughts that I want to come back to

That for me became really important, because when you have those performances that originate in New York City, in Brooklyn, and then travel the country—New York City was definitely the epicenter of vaudeville—you’re bringing culture from this place of rich cultural mixing all throughout the country to create that national tapestry.
Absolutely mirrors my feelings about moving to NYC and getting excited about the theatre, etc. that goes on here. it's also why I'm energized by the thought of my drag as reflective of a Southern transplant to NYC story, a great migration continued.

But the roles were the same. I started to think about it, because one of my questions in the book was not just what people thought queerness was and where queer people were, but how we heard about it
