A surprisingly hopeful panel last night on 50th anniversary of Jonathan Ned Katz’s book Gay American History. John D'Emilio noted 50 years ago there were no gay history books to ban. At @nyhistory.bsky.social w/ Am LGBTQ+ Museum #gaybooks #gayhistory #queerhistory #lgbtqhistory #lgbtqhistorymonth

Five panelists sit onstage at a New-York Historical event presented with the American LGBTQ+ Museum. One speaks into a microphone while the others listen. Behind them, a large screen displays the cover of Gay American History.

Please read my book OUTED —not an AI summary citing “scholars” such as a random post on an alternate-history message board making claims I didn’t and would never make

Screenshot of a Meta AI summary titled "Walter Jenkins LBJ arrest" that describes Timothy Stewart-Winter's book Outed and Jenkins's 1964 arrest. A sentence in the summary is circled in red: "Scholars note Jenkins' absence may have influenced Johnson's decisions on Vietnam after 1964." Below it, the cited source is shown: a thread on alternatehistory.com titled "Lyndon Johnson's Presidency, if Walter Jenkins was not arrested," posted March 29, 2022 by a deleted member. The title is circled, as is a reply speculating about "national healthcare in 1965-66" instead of the real-world Medicare/Medicaid. A blue caption reads: "Meta AI offered to explain my own book to me. Its source for what 'scholars note'? A speculative thread on an alternate-history message board."

An unexpected thing about Gavin Newsom’s memoir: much of what he says about his father’s life comes from an oral history interview by the queer historian Martin Meeker

LBJ with three aides and a ouija board. Grad-school me would be very surprised by how much I’ve been reading and thinking about him.
