Sinopse

Silver Threads Hares and Hyenas Anniversary podcast Silver Threads is a celebration of 25 years of the Hares and Hyenas Bookstore in Fitzroy Melbourne, supported by the UNESCO City of Literature Known Bookshops fund, in association with the Australian Lesbian and Gay Archives, and in partnership with Melbourne Library Service. Episode 2 - Joan Nestle, This Huge Light of Yours WARNING - the following program contains explicit content and themes Proud 'out' lesbian, spokeswoman for butch-femme desire, and a tireless freedom fighter, Joan laid the groundwork for the lesbian, gay and transgender movements of today by claiming her right to her own sexual identity at a time when to do so made her a figure of controversy. Joan reads an excerpt from her out of print book 'A Restricted Country' called 'This Huge Light of Yours'.
