Queer History Walking Tour of the Lower East Side
The Lower East Side is an international crossroads of communities, including queer communities, which existed well before the dawn of a queer liberation movement and have continued into the post-Stonewall period. The tour will begin at Henry Street Settlement, where you will learn about founder Lillian Wald's intentional community of women, and will end at Bluestockings Cooperative, a Lower East Side queer and trans worker-owned bookstore. In between, every tour is different! Frequent stops include 19th century ballrooms and 20th century watering holes, monuments of queer creativity and cruising, and the homes of icons like Marsha P. Johnson, Sylvia Rivera, Martin Wong, and Alvin Baltrop. Tours are available only to the first 20 registrants. Tickets are $20 each. Five free tickets are available for each tour on a first come, first served basis.
