Virtual History on Tap: PRIDE
This month, we are shining the spotlight on Cleveland’s LGBTQ+ history with Virtual History on Tap: PRIDE. Grab a cocktail and join us for this online happy hour as we discuss the rich history of Cleveland’s LGBTQ+ community, including local activism, the birth of the LGBT Community Center, the 2014 Gay Games, and Pride celebrations of years past. Presented in partnership with the LGBT Community Center of Greater Cleveland, this event will feature presentations from our Cleveland history experts, interviews with special guests, and live Q&A.
Presentations include…
History of the LGBT Center | Presented by the LGBT Community Center of Greater Cleveland, this presentation will illustrate the Center’s 45-year history and discuss some of the key programs and services that they offer to the community today.
Gay Life in the 1970s | In a wide-ranging informal conversation, John Grabowski will be speaking with John Nosek and Leon Stevens about gay life in Cleveland during the 1970s: the post-Stonewall period that saw the the beginning of the GEAR (Gay Education Awareness and Resources Foundation, the progenitor of today’s LGBTQ Center), its first newspaper, High Gear, and the city’s first Gay Pride marches.
Victory of Self | Filmed for our 2014 exhibit, The Victory of Self: The LGBT Community in Northeast Ohio, this video has never before been shared outside the walls of WRHS.
And more!
