THE READING

Four New Yorkers bring queer and trans history alive by reading from primary source documents, and discussing what they love about ‘em. Spanning social, legal, literary, and art history, the readers draw on everything from court decisions to personal correspondence.

Come enjoy some soda, wine, beer, and cheese, and get your historical groove on.

Suggested donation of $5 to support Sylvia’s Place emergency shelter for LGBTQ youth. No one turned away.
