Here in New York, we’re gearing up for Pride weekend. Gay rights pioneer Lilli Vincenz filmed the FIRST Pride march (Christopher Street Liberation Day) held in New York City, June 28, 1970. Watch the entire 11-minute film “Gay and Proud” on the Library of Congress’s website at this link: http://bit.ly/1970pride
In this clip, there are TWO people that have been featured in #MakingGayHistoryepisodes: one person’s voice and another person in a cameo. Can you name who they are?

1960’s gay rights champion Dick Leitsch died on June 22, 2018. We’ll be bringing you a full episode about Dick and his contributions to the movement during Season Four. In the meantime, we’ve produced this farewell episode to introduce you to Dick, who was a one-of-a-kind, out-and-proud, fearless leader at a time when few people dared to risk all to carry the ball forward in the fight against police repression and society’s condemnation. Listen now: http://bit.ly/mgh-leitsch

There are lots of other historic sites throughout Philadelhia that played a part in the LGBTQ rights movement.
Despite these strides, LGBTQ rights remain under assault heading into 2018, particularly in the workplace.
“We’re trying to get ahead of the curve proactively to identify these sites that show and convey LGBT history.”
June, when cities around the world come together for Pride celebrations, is a good time to remember that there’s no one way to be out and proud. LGBTQ+ people are a part of every community, and we’re building a bunch of our own as well. This playlist scratches the surface of queer experience, with shows about identity, history, and the world we live in, all driven forward by queer creators and voices. We hope this playlist brings you the kind of joy, support, adventure, and answers that you seek this month, and every month after.
Happy birthday to Frida Kahlo The legendary Mexican artist would have been 111 today. Her work has inspired generations of artists. Frida occasionally wore men’s clothing and was proudly bisexual — despite the world being hostile to LGBTQ people in the early 20th century. 📸: #NickolasMuray The first portrait was taken by Frida’s father, Guillermo Kahlo, in 1926.
