25 years ago the LGBTQ community decided to get political – and here we are today…
On Friday, September 4th, 2015 from 5:00 – 7:00 PM we will have Nancy Miller, Stephen Lock, and Richard Gregory on a panel moderated by the Calgary Gay History Project’s Kevin Allen. Our panellists were all key figures in the Calgary Lesbian and Gay Political Action Guild (CLAGPAG), who organized the first Pride Rally in Memorial Park in 1990 and the first Pride Parade in 1991.
Come out to hear about the particular tenor of their time: fighting back against homophobia and intimidation, as well as the great camaraderie and tangible human rights victories.
