What do you know about your history as a queer person? What do you really know about Stonewall, the first Christopher Street Parade, the AIDS-crisis, and what life was like as a LGBTQ person in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s? What was coming out like?

It's a chance to ask questions about what life was like being a part of, or an ally to, the LGBTQ community in the midst of the gay rights movement.
