First Class Citizens

First Class Citizens 20th Season | 2012 Categories: Equality , History, Politics, Public Policy & Public Affairs

Inspired by Martin Luther King’s vision of equality, we look back at how LGBT rights intersect with the broader movement for civil rights in this country. Revisiting the first gay rights protests, the gay men of color who joined the Million Man March and our first openly gay federal judge, we celebrate those who stood up and spoke out for full LGBT equality.
