The Blue Ridge Lambda Press was one of several LGBTQ+ newsletters produced in the area between the 1970s and early 2010s. The press grew out of the Blue Ridge Lambda Alliance, which formed around 1980 in Lynchburg—the home base of televangelist Jerry Falwell Sr. Rosenthal.

As a writer, my characters’ queerness is always as central to their stories as their Blackness, their gender, or their size.

They have to write the city name on the stage for me to remember." Darcy said. "It was pride here, so it was a really fun crowd and, they were ready to party. It was probably the most off the wall show we’ve done of the tour. I was climbing through the audience at one point."
