Show Notes

The fire at the Up Stairs Lounge in New Orleans on June 24, 1973, is a tragic event that forever changed the LGBTQ+ community. It claimed the lives of 32 people and injured many others. This incident remains one of the deadliest attacks on a gay bar in American history and yet it is often overlooked or forgotten.

The fight for equality has been ongoing for decades, and it is crucial that we continue to push forward. Recent events have highlighted the need for equal treatment and respect for all individuals, regardless of their gender or sexual orientation. The circulation of photos of nude women without their consent is just one example of how some people are still being objectified and disrespected in today's society.

 We must remember this event as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of LGBTQ+ rights and how much more work still needs to be done to ensure that everyone is treated with dignity and respect regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
