Today, we're featuring a trio who have been integral to the gay leather scene since its inception. Guy Baldwin, Hardy Haberman, and Race Bannon share their experiences of being gay in the 1960s. Baldwin, who was expelled from his home at 18 for being homosexual, found a new family within the WW2 veteran community. Haberman, based in Dallas, recounts tales of bars alerting gay patrons of impending vice squad raids, forcing men to find female dance partners or face jail time. Bannon, now a San Francisco-based activist, shares stories of Chicago’s famous gay bars that laid the foundation for the gay community.
Join us for a two-hour journey through a time when human rights were violated and gay rights were non-existent. These three legends of the American gay community share their experiences, both past and present. These recordings, some edited to remove outdated events, tell a story so important that it transcends sexual orientation. It’s a reminder of the importance of protecting our rights.
