How LGBTQ+ History Propels Your Future
Description
Gerry chats with Tony Valenzuela, the leader of One Institute, the longest continuously operating LGBTQ+ organization in the United States. Tony shares why LGBTQ+ folx are dangerous to social norms and constructs, why we are indispensable in society, and how our existence helps people of all backgrounds to realize their freedom - and their chains. He also talks about One Institute's Circa Festival - coming up in October throughout Metropolitan Los Angeles the entire month of October - which is the first and only Queer Histories Festival in the U.S. Plus: Tony's coming out story is one for the books - and directly connects with the crucial activism work he and One Institute are performing today.
