From January 2000 until March 2015 "Queer Music Heritage" was both a radio show and a website, and the goal of both was to preserve and share the music of our culture. Each month's page gives the playlist and additional pages of info, and you can stream or download every show. Although the programming has stopped the site will continue as a resource for the history of LGBT music. |
From the start
I found my QMH site a place to share the extensive information |
This is a special project of my radio show and website Queer Music Heritage. It was designed as sort of a study guide, or lesson plan, and I hope it appeals to those LGBT Studies courses now found at many universities around the country. |
|
A companion show to QMH, OutRadio focused mainly on new LGBT music. The show ran from January 2010 through March 2015, and is completely archived. |

For a
few years, mostly 2012 through 2014, I maintained a music blog for expanding
on info not covered in the radio shows. As I launched the other big
sites and, in 2015 discontinued the radio part, |

And there's also my activity on Facebook. I normally do 15 or so posts per day towards my Gay Agenda: To entertain and educate about our culture....this could be showing the covers of old LGBT publications, bar ads (mostly from Houston), vintage photos of (perhaps) gay & lesbian couples, book covers, music nformation, cartoons, etc etc etc, and more etc. |
I also do similar though more limited postings to Instagram,
which meets a different audience, though that format itself is more
limiting (only one image per post, and it doesn't allow links). |

Mission Statement The
mission of JD Doyle Archives is to gather, digitize and share LGBT
music and Houston/Texas LGBT history. The work began in 2000 with
the radio program Queer Music Heritage, which ran until 2015. The
companion website, queermusicheritage.com, includes playlists and
showcases information on many other areas, archiving all as a resource.
In recent years additional sites have been launched to house Houston
history and Texas obituaries, both ever expanding, with a common goal
of making our history accessible.

Donate, Please!
The JD Doyle
Archives has been approved by the IRS for 501c3 non-profit status,
so all donations are tax deductible. If you enjoy my site, please consider a small donation. The site has a huge amount of PDF files and graphics, and well, it's an expensive site, requiring a large dedicated server. If you're moved to help share and preserve our culture's history it would be very much appreciated. - JD Doyle |
