I came across this article on Instagram, and since we are talking about Early 20th century gay New York in class, I though it was exceptionally apt. This article contains short profiles on LGBTQIA+ activists and personalities in New York City, curated by Adam Eli, a gay Jewish activist. It is interesting to see how queer personalities are integral to the infrastructure of NYC, such as how drag queen Marti Gould Cummings is an advisor to the mayor on the nightlife advisory board.
LGBTQIA+ New York
Thank you for this!! I love hearing stories from queer individuals, and the people in the article are so diverse too :0
ReplyDeleteThis was such a great article to read about the new wave of activists in New York of all different backgrounds and different associations. I also liked that there were a couple people, like Tatenda and Marti, who moved away from their homes to find their voice and true family in New York. The pictures with the fashion choices, were also incredible and helped to highlight the messages that each individual was trying to send. Thanks for posting!
