Queer Past: Review of Rosenthal, Living Queer History
by Lauren Gutterman
Living Queer Historyis no ordinary academic monograph. Part history of LGBTQ+ existence in Roanoke, part account of the Southwest Virginia LGBTQ+ History Project’s founding and activities, and part memoir of G. Samantha Rosenthal’s own coming into her identity as a transgender woman, the publication makes the case for queer public history as an activist project. As Rosenthal writes of the Southwest Virginia LGBTQ+ History Project, which she co-founded, “We are not so interested in museums or in plaques or in state recognition. We are invested in making spaces.” The group’s evolving team of hundreds of undergraduate students, faculty, activists, and community members have recorded more than forty interviews with LGBTQ+ elders to date, but their labor focuses on bringing LGTBTQ+ people together and claiming public space on the ground in Virginia today. As the Austin Gay Oral History Project begins to take shape, Rosenthal’s Living Queer History has much to teach us.
