LGBTQIA+ history in the Triangle
WRAL News is working to share the history of the Triangle area's LGBTQIA+ community.
We'll interview those who recall a time when 'not all were welcome,' who share stories about the city's earliest 'safe' gathering places – bars, bookstores and shops. We'll hear about the first LGBTQIA+ newsletters, the first Pride events, and how the early years of the AIDS crisis impacted local members of LGBTQIA+ community.
If you have someone you feel should be interviewed or honored, please let us know here.
