How does the history of Buffalo’s gay liberation movement overlap with the history of its suburbanization, gentrification, and the construction of its expressways? How did the city police g**s in the 1960-1980s Buffalo and how did the community fight back in courts, the streets, and through community building? Come to our Gay Liberation NOW! history tour and learn the sorties of Buffalo’s q***r trailblazers!
