Come learn about gay rights activists in the 1960s and 1970s who were trained by Quakers in nonviolent resistance, the influential gay rights leaders who were Quakers themselves, and the gay rights organizations that operated out of Quaker-owned properties. This lecture will also describe the presence of Quakers at the Stonewall riots and Quaker participation in the first gay pride parade.
