Music is so much of how we find ourselves and understand the world around us. It makes us dance, it makes us cry, and most of all, it makes us feel heard. Though history has tried to hide Queer Existence and Queer Performance, we continue to take center stage. From Freddie Mercury to Frank Ocean to the young queer voices we have with us today. The guests on this episode of Queer Temple are some incredible Queer Creators and Temple-Grown artists who have performed across Philadelphia. Host Laila Page welcomes vocalist/guitarist for Graver’s Lane David Anderson (He/They) and creator of King Rat Matt Guardiola (He/They) for a candid discussion about Queer Music.
Queer Temple is TUTV’s first LGBTQIA+ series, co-created by Temple students Christopher Smith and Andreas Copes. The program examines the world through the eyes of LGBTQIA+ individuals, focusing on current events, history, and life in the queer community.
