A program celebrating some of the unsung heroes of the LGBTQ movement. Of course, we all know Harvey Milk and Ellen DeGeneres … but do you know who Brenda Howard is and how she created the Pride events we still celebrate today? Do you know what happened when Aaron Fricke announced, for the first time in America, he was going to take another boy to the school prom? We’ll talk about, among others, Barbara Gittings and Perry Watkins, Marsha P. Johnson and Michael Callen. One of the challenges the LGBTQ community has faced is having our history go unreported, “straight washed” or taken away from us … “Still, They Resisted” shows that we’ve been here and queer and fighting for a long time.
