GLEH Housing for Gay and Lesbian Seniors

This past Sunday marked the 40th anniversary of the Stonewall uprising, often identified as the beginning of the modern gay rights movement. To gain some perspective on how the lives of gay people have changed since that time, The Local interviewed two longtime Clinton Hill residents about their own experiences. In the video above, Barbara Abrams, 64, and Bob McCoy, 77, reflect on Stonewall as a milestone and share their thoughts on where gay people stand today.

The current generation of LGBT seniors came of age amidst the profound social changes of the 1950's 60's, and 70's. Their stories reflect queer history from the isolation of the past, to the triumphs of the present day. Part one of this two part series, takes a look at what it was like to be "gay" before the Stonewall uprising, when lesbians and gays felt enormous pressure to conform. Out at the Center sat down to hear the experiences of these individuals who are currently active with SAGE or Services and Advocacy for GLBT Elders.
