NYC! I’m launching my new book OUTED at the Bureau bookstore (inside the LGBT Center at 208 W 13th St) on Friday, Oct. 16 at 7pm, in conversation with Hugh Ryan, author of When Brooklyn Was Queer and The Women’s House of Detention. RSVP: www.eventbrite.com/e/book-launc...

When I first came across this "morals case" memo at the National Archives, I assumed the "individual" was Walter Jenkins because senior people were called in. It was not Jenkins, it was a comms guy at Mount Weather. @timothysw.bsky.social's Walter Jenkins biography is out now.

Timothy Stewart-Winter's Walter Jenkins bio is out now. www.amazon.com/Outed-Confid...

This morning I had a fantastic live convo with Julian Zelizer about the 1964 election, the Lavender Scare, scandal coverage and the press, queer political history, Lady Bird Johnson, J. Edgar Hoover, and other topics related to my new book! julianzelizer.substack.com/p/the-electi...

"[A]s we celebrate this LGBTQ History Month, we should make room in our history for people who never came out, yet whose lives shaped the world around them all the same." Timothy Stewart-Winter @timothysw.bsky.social for @slate.com "Making Sense of the 'Walter Jenkins Affair'"

A great book launch event tonight for @timothysw.bsky.social's new book OUTED at BGSQD in New York City. A compelling story. Can't wait to read the book!

My latest! When LBJ’s right-hand man got arrested for bathroom cruising, the president could barely understand what that was. Then the story got even weirder. slate.com/life/2026/10...

OUTED is out! And you should check it out - and then join us on Friday at the Bureau!

Happy pub day to my book! Seen at BGSQD, aka the Bureau, the indie bookstore inside the LGBT Center on 13th Street (and Manhattan’s only queer bookstore) @bgsqd.bsky.social @uchicagopress.bsky.social

I said this in a thread last night and in a thousand threads before it, but you really are doing the work of those who would destroy democracy and the rule of law when you are a doomer. You can be aware of — and vigorously oppose — the lawlessness of this administration without insisting on doom.

A surprisingly hopeful panel last night on 50th anniversary of Jonathan Ned Katz’s book Gay American History. John D'Emilio noted 50 years ago there were no gay history books to ban. At @nyhistory.bsky.social w/ Am LGBTQ+ Museum #gaybooks #gayhistory #queerhistory #lgbtqhistory #lgbtqhistorymonth

I'm doing an #AMA today on #AskHistorians about my new book, the "Walter Jenkins affair" in LBJ's White House. Ask me about LGBTQ political history since the mid-20th century! www.reddit.com/r/AskHistori... @askhistorians.bsky.social

Please read my book OUTED —not an AI summary citing “scholars” such as a random post on an alternate-history message board making claims I didn’t and would never make

Thank youuuu! 🙏🎉❤️

NEW: Before marriage, there was the nearly 20-year fight over sodomy laws. In 2003, the Supreme Court overturned its 1986 decision upholding sodomy laws. Both cases have a lot to teach us in and about this moment. Today, at Law Dork:

Anyone else read this and think okay she was cooler than she sometimes gets credit for?

Allow me to tout my friend @timothysw.bsky.social’s book, “Queer Clout: Chicago and the Rise of Gay Politics”! www.pennpress.org/978081222406...

I know the talk here is about other stuff today, but I've been meaning to write more about my passions. HUGE credit to my dear friend, @timothysw.bsky.social, an Assoc. Prof. of History at Rutgers, who wrote "Queer Clout: Chicago and the Rise of Gay Politics", for his help on the historical notes.

This year I wanted to do more. I consulted with a historian and educator friend to come up with some history notes—just 3 cards to be added to the set, including one covering an aspect of Black, queer, Chicago history. It is on the Red Line, after all and I want to make sure more are represented.

Been meaning to write about this... I’ve had the privilege to be allowed by my employer to be behind and see to fruition our Pride Train. Every year it’s meant to be a showing of welcoming and inclusion, though started as just a train wrap and mean to run from June 1 thru at least Market Days.

The Republican Party has found its roots: throwing people off their health care and bombing the Middle East.

Theo Von had Thomas Massie on his podcast. Nonstop criticism of US support for Israel, AIPAC. Quote: "America is just a shell company, an LLC for Israel" Nobody calling them antisemitic or threatening to cancel or arrest them. Complete right-left asymmetry on this. www.mediaite.com/media/podcas...

Protests are critical to resistance to authoritarianism - they help facilitate collective action and overcome preference falsification. There are lots of people who will stand up if others do too.
