You’ve haven’t really experienced the Stonewall riots until you’ve seen them rendered with stop-animation clay puppets.
But if Preston Stringer IV can raise enough funds for his proposed LGBTQueerstory project, this and other gay events and people of historical import will soon be molded for our viewing pleasure.
On his Kickstarter page, Preston writes:
My main goal with this project is to show the positive ways the LGBTQ community has impacted the world and to show young LGBTQ persons the triumphs and struggles that led us to where we are now, hopefully inspiring the next generation to keep up the fight for equality. That is it in a nutshell.
We could all use a brush up on queer history from time to time.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
The stories he wants to tell range from Stonewall to the decriminalization of homosexuality in the US to people of interest/ importance (Alan Turing, RuPaul, Billie Jean King, etc.) to anything in between.
