After only a year of being online they have amassed a huge following of over 40k followers on Instagram and over 400k followers on Tik Tok. 
Their story is an awesome example of how making content that engages and ads value to your audience's day can skyrocket your popularity. 
In this chat we hear:

• How they did it
• The sorts of collabs they get offered 
• Their favourite pieces of queer history 
• And they tell Renee and James their favourite things about each of them - (cute face emoji)

 
From RHC:

Were you taught the history of LGBTIQA+ people in school? Many of us weren't. So, we decided to teach ourselves.

Rainbow History Class is a home for queer and trans stories from history that inspire, validate, bring gratitude, make you laugh and even help you win an argument.

Firstly, we're not qualified teachers, nor are we trying to replace school (our homework is optional!) Rainbow History Class is an entertaining and fun space for LGBTIQA+ people and their allies to learn and discuss the lesser-known history of our community.
