Rainbow History Class

It’s time to brush up on the LGBTQIA+ history not taught in school with Tik Tok sensation Rainbow History Class

In the Rainbow History Class live classroom, teacher Rudy Jean Rigg and writer/researcher Hannah McElhinney leave the internet behind and bring the history of the LGBTQIA+ community to life IRL in an evening of celebratory storytelling.

From the origins of Mardi Gras, to the reason Alice Springs became a lesbian hotspot, and the time gay slang sent the US military on a wild goose chase, Rainbow History Class live classroom is one class you don’t want to skip.

Homework: optional.
Detention: never.
Glitter: always.

Created by Rudy Jean Rigg and Hannah McElhinney
