EP46: From Marches to Milestones: The National LGBTQ Task Force’s Impact on Equality

Life Through a Queer Lens

Join us as we explore the untold stories and key moments in the LGBTQ rights movement through the work of the National LGBTQ Task Force. Hear about pioneers like Dr. Bruce Voeller and Frank Kameny, who helped remove homosexuality from the list of mental illnesses, and Virginia Apuzzo's powerful advocacy during the AIDS crisis.
We'll cover decades of activism, from ACT UP protests to the Creating Change Conference, and how the Task Force shaped federal policy and public opinion. Plus, we'll dive into the intersection of reproductive rights and LGBTQ activism under Kira Johnson's leadership, highlighting the "Ban the Repro Binary" campaign and the enduring significance of National Coming Out Day.
