A gay and lesbian culture flourished in Boston, in private homes, the theatre, coffee houses, the baths, and of course, bars. We will follow the footsteps of gay and lesbian friends from the 1840s to the 1980s, from Thoreau's walks along the Common and Charlotte Cushman's transvestite roles to the World War II bars and baths, to the AIDS Action Committee and the AIDS memorial quilt project.
Meet your guide in front of the Massachusetts State House steps on Beacon Street, across from Boston Common.
