In 1973, a small group of gay men and lesbians founded "Gay Community News," a local Boston newsletter to report on LGBTQ+ events. That community-driven newsletter grew into a major newspaper with an international readership. Join us to explore the arc of GCN's history and its influence on LGBTQ+ activism. 

Panelists include Loie Hayes, Gordon Gottlieb, and Russ Lopez, moderated by Richard Burns.

Join The History Project, in collaboration with the Massachusetts Historical Society and the American LGBTQ+ Museum for a hybrid panel exploring this history on Wednesday, October 25th. The in-person reception starts at 5:30 and the program will begin at 6:00.
