Hear first-hand LGBT History from someone who was politically active since he 1970's and helped to organize many of the groups and events that brought us to where we are today. This Walking Tour will discuss our LGBT history from the personal perspective of someone who started coming out at the age of 13 in 1965. We will focus on the period after World War II up until the Stonewall Riots in 1969; and how the Movement advanced our struggle towards full equality. In addition to the events that occurred, you will also learn about how the legal profession fought to permit the LGBT community to end Sodomy and Cross Dressing laws, become non-profit organizations, create a legal defense fund, congregate in bars, use the names lesbian and gay in corporations, etc. The legal struggle started way before Marriage Equality or Don't Ask-Don't Tell. A short award winning documentary made by high school juniors Jesse Berliner-Sachs, Sophie Whisnant, Meredith Criner, and Elizabeth Pasquerello. Won first place in district National History Day Competition 2014. Featuring: Jeff Dupre, Mia Ettinger, Ray Hill, Jim Hubbard, Richard Landman, Gretta Schiller, and Marc Stein.
