Standing Together: The Seacoast LGBTQ Social and Support Groups Since the 1950s

For more than 60 years there have been social outlets for the LGBT community in the Seacoast area. We will explore what social outlets and support groups were available to the community through the decades. What was the first social group? What bars were available and where were they located? What groups are still available? For those attending in person, there will be some artifacts available to view.

Registration is required. This event is free and open to all. Attend online, or in person in the library’s Levenson Room.
