Join us for an insightful and thought-provoking discussion with key members of the pioneering Los Angeles Gay Liberation Front (1969–1972) as they reflect on the movement’s early civil rights actions, its lasting impact, and the future of LGBTQ+ advocacy.
Featuring activists Llee Heflin, Jon Platania, and Don Kilhefner, and facilitated by August Bernadicou (The LGBTQ History Project), this event offers a rare opportunity to hear firsthand accounts from those who helped shape the fight for LGBTQ+ rights.
Through historical reflection and forward-looking dialogue, this conversation will examine the evolution of activism, the challenges still ahead, and how past lessons can inform the future of equality. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to engage with LGBTQ+ history and its ongoing legacy.
