Compact Nation Podcast

This podcast minisode was created for students by students at St. Olaf College as part of the American Conversations project. For more information about these minisodes, check out season 4 episode 14, “American Conversations.” Although the United States has long served as host for a great number of diverse people, it also has a history of rejecting and mistreating minority groups. Even today, many disenfranchised and marginalized peoples are struggling for fair treatment in this nation of “equality for all.” This is certainly true for the LGBTQIA+ community. In this podcast, we explore this community’s fight throughout the last century as well as current and past cultural and political shifts regarding the LGBTQIA+ community.
