Season 2: Episode 2: Shirley Willer

from Making Gay History | LGBTQ Oral Histories from the Archive · host Eric Marcus

Shirley Willer had good reason to be angry. She was beaten by the police and a dear friend was allowed to die—because they were gay. She channeled that anger into action, traveling the country in the 1960s to launch new chapters of gay rights organizations.
