In this special episode of Our Queer History, Lentil Pulse sits down with artist and educator Bry Sharland, creator of the Pink Triangle Portraits Project; an ongoing series honouring LGBTQ+ people persecuted under the Nazi regime.

Together, they discuss the history of the pink triangle, the importance of remembrance, the role of queer art in preserving stories, and what it means to reclaim a symbol once used for oppression.

This conversation explores memory, identity, queer history, and the responsibility of keeping these stories visible for future generations.

In this episode of Our Queer History, host Lentil Pulse explores the work and advocacy of Yasmin Benoit, a British model, writer, and activist who has become one of the most visible voices for asexual representation and awareness.

Through her work in media, fashion, and activism, Benoit has challenged misconceptions about asexuality while pushing for greater recognition of ace identities within both wider society and the LGBTQ+ community. Her advocacy has helped bring conversations about asexuality into mainstream discussions about identity, visibility, and inclusion.

This episode explores Yasmin Benoit’s work, the meaning of asexuality, and the ongoing fight for recognition and understanding.

In Part Three of The Road to Tokyo, 1994, host Lentil Pulse concludes the story of East Asia’s first Pride event and reflects on its place within queer history.

This episode brings the series to a close by exploring the lasting importance of this moment and why the road to Tokyo in 1994 remains a significant chapter in LGBTQ+ history.
