Listen via @KPCC: “The history of LGBT people in #LosAngeles is incredibly rich. In 1950, activist Harry Hay founded the Mattachine Society to fight for gay rights. The nation’s first large-scale and documented protests happened here in 1967 at the Black Cat Tavern. And the Metropolitan Community Church, the nation’s first LGBT-inclusive congregation, began holding services in 1968. But less is known about the history of LGBT people of color during these same years. "In many ways we’re only starting to understand the breadth of queer history in Los Angeles,” says David Evans Frantz, curator at the ONE National Gay and Lesbian Archives at USC. Those stories are in the spotlight at “Axis Mundo: Queer Networks in #Chicano L.A.,” now on exhibition at MOCA Pacific Design Center.“ Listen by retyping this link in your web browser: http://bit.ly/queer-chicanos
