Sound Bytes: LGBTQ+ Internet Activism with Alex Ketchum

Last fall, we hosted a conversation with Dr. Alex Ketchum on her upcoming book, Digital Queers, TechnoDykes, Hi-Tech Gays, and Lavender Bytes: A History of American, Canadian, and British LGBTQ+ Cyber Activism 1992-2002. In the talk, Dr. Ketchum and moderator Karen Wickre discussed early online LGBTQ+ activism and how activists adapted their work to a rapidly developing interconnected digital landscape and played a role in shaping Internet culture. In case you missed it, you can watch a recording of the event here!

After the talk, we asked Alex about her favorite LGBTQ+ early internet resource that she’s encountered in her work. You can check out what she had to say in the Sound Byte below!
