Learn about the surprising and diverse "pre-history" of the LGBTQIA+ movement in San Francisco. Pride narratives often focus on 1970s Castro, but what happened and who came before the rainbow flag and Harvey Milk? This multimedia, virtual presentation shows how drag queens, sex workers and religious leaders gave a voice to the Victorians' "unspeakable vice" and made San Francisco a venerated "Sodom by the Sea."
