Hosts Bronwin Parks and Elinor Svoboda bring back queer historian Kevin Allen to highlight significant advancements in queer history between 1980s into the 90s, touching on the AIDS crisis, the first Pride parade in 1990, and the Delwyn and Vreen case, which ruled against discrimination based on sexual orientation. The conversation also touches on cultural backlash, the emergence of queer community spaces, and the impact of AIDS on societal attitudes and activism.
