Virtual Lunch and Learn with Oscar Wilde Tours
Please join us for this wonderful virtual presentation by Andrew Lear of Oscar Wilde Tours!
Through the centuries, there have always been people whose sexuality and/or gender identity did not conform with the rules of their cultures—people who owned their identity and spoke out. This talk is a celebration of some amazing ones, such as:
- Eve Adams, a Polish Jewish anarchist who opened a famous lesbian bar in 1920s New York
- Lord Alfred Douglas, who has a terrible reputation from his relationship with Oscar Wilde--but also wrote the line, "I am the love that dares not speak its name"
- Gad Beck, a gay Jewish teen-age resistance leader in Nazi Berlin,
- Colette, author, stripper, and lover of the aristocratic trans man Max de Morny
- and the hijras of India, a traditional third sex numbering in the millions in today's India
Keep Pride alive as you learn about these fabulous LGBTQ+ personalities in other times and cultures!
