Stonewall Speakers at Milford Public Library June 22

The Stonewall Speakers at Milford Public Library June 22 at 2pm

In the early hours of June 28, 1969, New York City police raided the Stonewall Inn, a gay club located in Greenwich Village in New York City. ... The Stonewall Rebellion served as a catalyst for the gay rights movement in the United States and around the world. To mark the 50^th anniversary of this historic event, and to celebrate Pride month, Milford Pride, Milford Speaks Out, My State My Voice, and Milford Public Library are pleased to host Stonewall Speakers, a program of the Connecticut Stonewall Foundation, Inc. This is an all-volunteer speaker's bureau comprised of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender people and their allies.

Speakers will include two or more panelists and combine personal life stories with a question and answer session. The Connecticut Stonewall Foundation, Inc. and Stonewall Speakers strives to increase understanding, acceptance and respect for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people through educational outreach. 

The program will be held on June 22 at 2pm in Milford Library’s program room. All are welcome. Light refreshments will be served.
