October is LGBTQ History Month. It is when we commemorate the milestones of our community to honor the people who have helped to get us to where we are for us to celebrate Pride in June.  There is perhaps no better icon in El Paso to talk to about our community's history than Gilbert Salazar.  Gilbert was a visible member of the gay community when being queer in El Paso was risqué and, in some ways, more exciting. He tells us about the early days of the bar scene and how he came up to be crowned the first-ever Miss Old Plantation which was an historic gay bar both locally and renown throughout the state of Texas.
