Understanding where we come from and where we've been is an important part of telling the human story. For LGBTQ+ people, those stories are often lost to time because of stigma, fear and shame.
Our America Pride in History looks at Gia Carangi , the Baton, The National Aids Memorial Grove, The Wall Las Memorias , and Fresno Reel Pride .
In this episode we explore one of the Chicago's oldest LGBTQ+ bars, memorials to those who have died of AIDS nationally and locally, a group finding new life patrolling community neighbors, and a supermodel who grabbed fashion magazine covers and national headlines. One of Chicago's oldest LGBTQ+ bars, The Baton, first opened in 1969. While it struggled at first, it then became a celebrity hotspot.
"If you come out to Reel Pride, you basically can see a lot of the things that we are known for, and that is wonderful feature films that you cannot see in normal theaters," says Kathleen Arambula-Reyna.
