Special Guest
Genderfuck drag artist
Rumi Missabu
Welcome to a Mattachine meeting for the 21st century! Join Devlyn Camp & queer activists, legends, and other very special guests as we discuss…everything!
My very first guest is original Cockette and genderfuck visual storyteller RUMI MISSABU! He’s a Hollywood kid who fell off the grid, and became a star in 1970s San Francisco. In a special 2-part first episode of Mattachine Meeting, we talk about everything from ancient history to marriage & pronouns, along with Rumi’s many stories.
Original release dates: January 2 & 16, 2022
Welcome to the Mattachine 😈 Or, if you're Randy Wicker, welcome to your first Mattachine meeting in 5 decades. Hi, Randy!
I met genderfuck legend Rumi Missabu through archiving with Randy Wicker. Rumi and I hit it off and talked for almost 5 hours. Somehow I managed to trim our conversation down to 2 hours, and it's packed with fabulous stories from Rumi's infamous life.
Thank you so much for supporting my many LGBTQ history projects here on Patreon! I could not be doing this work without your help. Happy new year! Enjoy the new show! 💖💖💖

RUMI MISSABU EXHIBITION 2022
curated by Devlyn Camp
SEPTEMBER 25, 2022
Last year I had the honor of interviewing legendary genderfuck performance artist & original Cockette Rumi Missabu. (You can listen to our 2-episode chat on the patreon bonus podcast.) Rumi heard about my work with Randy Wicker, archiving his papers at the NYC LGBT Center, and he asked me to help him label some photos and gather his collection for donation to the same archives. I flew out to the Bay Area, hung out with Rumi for a few days and went through photos. He shipped his organized archive across the country to me for preservation at the LGBT Community Center National History Archive.
TONIGHT, with the help of several volunteers in New York, Rumi and I are presenting his archive at the NYC LGBT Center Bookstore @BGSQD from 5-7PM.
& Rumi live Q&A on Zoom @ 6
Suggested donation $10 to benefit the Bureau’s work. All are welcome to attend, with or without donation.
THANK YOU to everyone supporting my work on Patreon so that I’m able to take projects like this! 😘
