While Stonewall understandably gets the headlines, World War II was immensely important to LGBTQ community formation. Join us to learn about how queer Americans from across the U.S. found and supported each other at military bases, defense plants, and bars and how wartime drag culture reveals a more complex and fascinating portrait of the Greatest Generation.
🎙️ About the Speaker: Matt Basso is a professor of history and ethnic, gender, and disability studies at the University of Utah. A Presidential Societal Impact Scholar, he specializes in public history and in the relationship between war and society, labor history, and the history of masculinity.
