PRIDE: Lesbian 5B

In this powerful Pride Month episode, Dana shares the untold story of how lesbian communities mobilized during the AIDS crisis - organizing, caregiving, and demanding justice when few others would. Then, Anthony takes us to Ward 5B, the first hospital ward in the U.S. created solely for people with AIDS, where compassion changed the course of care.During Pride Month, we’re committed to spotlighting organizations doing the work to support and protect LGBTQ+ youth. We encourage our listeners to join us in supporting the Ali Forney Center, a lifesaving organization providing housing, healthcare, and community for homeless LGBTQ+ youth. If you’re able, please donate at aliforneycenter.org. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
