Mountain Talk Monday Every Tuesday!

This episode is the first in our month-long series celebrating national, regional, and local LGBTQ+ History Month, and we’re starting with national history by remembering Stonewall. The Stonewall Inn was a gay bar in New York City, where in June of 1969, after a commonly occuring police raid, the queer folks at the bar fought back. The riots were led by trans women of color including Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, and this historic event marks the beginning of the modern gay rights movement. In today’s show, we’ll hear two audio histories of Stonewall. The first from Making Contact produced in 2015, and the second from Outcasting, an LGBTQ youth podcast, which was produced in 2017.
