"Rainbow Jukebox" is my small way of passing along an experience to any and all who wish to be emboldened by its pages. It is not meant as a comprehensive guide to LGBTQ+ music history, but rather an ever-expanding snapshot. This "companion" textbook for LGBTQ+ Perspectives in American Music is a living, breathing, document; one that will continue to be updated to reflect knowledge gathered and the events of the present. You don't even need to be a music student (or even a musician) to utilize its teachings. However, it is meant to empower students and faculty (and those outside the realm of academia) to hear the collective album of a community of people who are still fighting for freedom and acceptance. Thank you for taking this journey with me, and I hope you enjoy the ride!
