From Loisaida to the South Bronx: Puerto Rican LGBTQ Culture in NYC

November is Puerto Rican Heritage Month! Celebrate the impact that the Puerto Rican LGBTQ community has made on New York City over the past 80 years, with a special focus on social life, activism, and the arts in the 1990s. Activist Charles Rice-González, co-founder of Gay Men of the Bronx (GMoB) and the Bronx Academy of Arts and Dance (BAAD!), and historian Andrés Santana-Miranda will take part in an intergenerational discussion reflecting on the lasting legacies of pioneers like Antonia Pantoja and Miguel Piñero as well as Puerto Rican LGBTQ life and culture from Loisaida to the South Bronx, and places in between. Amanda Davis from the NYC LGBT Historic Sites Project will host and there will be time for Q&A from the audience.
