This online session, designed for the Kokomo community, provides a comprehensive look into the History of Pride: Foundations of LGBT and Queer Culture. From your home in Kokomo or anywhere online, you will get insights on the pivotal moments and societal shifts that have shaped the struggle for equality. Understanding these roots helps us better appreciate the movement's present and future, both locally and globally.
We will begin by exploring the world before the Stonewall Uprising. Learn about the early organizations and hidden communities that laid the groundwork for future activism. This context is vital for understanding the experiences of LGBT individuals everywhere, including right here in communities like Kokomo, as they took courageous first steps to demand visibility and rights.
This digital talk will then focus on the Stonewall Uprising of 1969 as a major turning point. We will examine the context of the riots and their impact, leading to the first Christopher Street Liberation Day March. Understand how this event catalyzed a new era of community organizing, transforming the fight for gay rights into a visible movement whose effects are felt even in Kokomo today.
In this online session for our Kokomo audience, you will learn about:
- The social and political climate for LGBT people before 1969.
- The significance of the Stonewall Uprising and its lasting legacy.
- The evolution of Pride from a political march to a global celebration.
- Key legislative battles and cultural milestones over the decades.
- The expansion of terminology and the inclusion of diverse identities within the community.
Finally, we will discuss the modern era and the complexities of queer culture today. This includes an overview of the AIDS crisis, the rise of intersectionality, and ongoing debates within the community. While designed with the Kokomo community in mind, this online exploration of the History of Pride: Foundations of LGBT and Queer Culture offers a clear and accessible overview for anyone interested in the topic, no matter where they are joining from.
