Queen ✰ Uprisings Before Stonewall ✰ Anti-DEI Law in Utah
Manage episode 426506343 series 3576133
Dive into the lesser-known uprisings that set the stage for Stonewall in this podcast episode. From Los Angeles' Cooper Do-nuts Riot in the late '50s to Milwaukee's Black Nite Brawl in '61, explore pivotal moments of resistance within the LGBTQIA+ community prior to 1969.
Additionally, we’ll look at the impact of Utah's new anti-DEI law, effective July 1, 2024, which rolls back diversity efforts across public education and government, removing terms like "diversity, equity, and inclusion" from official use and restricting transgender individuals from using preferred facilities.
