Webinar: The Quaker Push for Gay Liberation, 1946-1973
Webinar: The Quaker Push for Gay Liberation, 1946-1973
09/11/2025 Webinar
7:00 pm Central Time
Sponsored by the FLGBT Religious Archives Network.
Join Heather White in conversation with Brian Blackmore,author of the newly published “To Hear and to Respond: The Quakers’Groundbreaking Push for Gay Liberation, 1946-1973.” In contrast to theantagonism toward LGBTQ rights exhibited by other religious groups at the time, Quakers created the first social service organization for gay people in the U.S. and was the first major denomination to issue a positive publicstatement on homosexuality. Quakers were present at the Stonewall riots, helped organize the first pride parades in multiple U.S. cities, and provided support for a number of early gay rights organizations. Blackmore, a scholar who serves as the director of Quaker engagement at the American Friends Service Committee, and White, a leading queer and feminist scholar and LGBTQ-RAN advisor, will take an in-depth look at this history and the foundations it has laid for our continued progress.
