Historical Incidents and LGBTQ Advocacy

The chapter explores historical events such as an unexpected disruption at a queen's banquet, an individual's plea for a pardon for operating a disorderly house, and community support for a person facing unjust punishment. It delves into the evolution of LGBTQ visibility from hidden gatherings to public Pride parades and highlights the legal defense of queer assembly rights. The discussion also reflects on the activism within the LGBTQ community and the legacy of figures like Swann in the drag community post-1900s.
