Come join us at RAW Art Works for a captivating event celebrating a century of LGBTQ+ history in Lynn! This film explores the joys, successes, challenges, and hardships experienced by Lynn’s gay, lesbian, transgender, and queer community in their ongoing fight for equality.
It illustrates their journey from secrecy and danger to freely celebrating pride and electing openly LGBTQ+ officials.
Featuring stories from Lynn’s gay bars and extensive interviews with community members, it pays tribute to prominent local figures in the arts, sports, politics and labor, delving into social, political, and youth alliances, political achievements, and the deep connections formed in Lynn’s iconic gay bars.
