Description

Prepare for a truly electrifying-- or should we say ZAPPING-- episode with Mark Segal.

Mark is a veteran of the gay rights movement, participating in the 1969 Stonewall uprising, known traditionally as the event marking the beginning of the movement in the United States. Mark was a member of the Gay Action Group (later part of the Gay Liberation Front) and a leader of Gay Youth during his 3 years in NY. He became a Gay Raider, zapping high profile celebrities to increase the visibility of the gay community. His greatest impact has been on our hometown, Philadelphia, where he served as political chair of the Philadelphia Gay Activist Alliance, and founded as well as publishes the Philadelphia Gay News. He is also the author of And Then I Danced: Traveling the Road to LGBT Equality, a wonderful memoir detailing his experiences as a gay rights activist. As recently as June 14, 2025, Mark was one of the signatories of a statement from the Gay Liberation Front Foundation protesting egregious acts of the Trump administration against marginalized communities.
