Photographs tell stories. In 1973, in London, someone took an impromptu shot of Ted Brown with his bicycle. At first you wouldn’t notice anything unusual—a black leather jacket, black jeans—but a closer look reveals a copy of the magazine Gay News clipped to the bike’s back wheel. A year earlier, Brown had openly kissed another man at a protest in Trafalgar Square, defying both racist and homophobic onlookers, and making history. He’d come out of the closet a few years before that, when he was 15, just after moving to the U.K. from the U.S. This podcast tells different LGBTQ stories, like Brown’s, in each episode, using photographs as points of departure. —Elena Clavarino
