In the Vanguard: Adrian Ravarour (Season 4; Ep 6)


Listen Later

He’s here and he’s taking us back. In this episode, Adrian Ravarour, founder of one of America’s earliest gay youth liberation groups, Vanguard, returns to share raw, unfiltered stories from the frontlines of queer rebellion in 1960s San Francisco. From organizing the now-legendary Street Sweep protests to quietly igniting the Compton’s Cafeteria Riot, Adrian reveals how grassroots action and street-level leadership changed the movement forever.

Adrian’s voice is hopeful, defiant, and deeply personal—equal parts spiritual artist, former Mormon priest, and radical educator. He’ll challenge what you thought you knew about LGBTQ+ history, insisting that youth from the Tenderloin, not just well-heeled homophile groups, helped spark real liberation. Tune in to feel the energy, the stakes, and the stubborn beauty of queer resistance.
