Session Description

Radical queer politics has a long history. Although much of what we consider radical queer culture now comes from the punk and indie/DIY movements of the 1990s, our forerunners of the '60s and '70s created the space for the movements of '80s and '90s! We'll interview some of our radical queer elders, and invite the audience to ask them questions.
