The presentation will consist of a lecture with corresponding visual aids covering both conventionally known as well as lesser known aspects of US LGBTQ labor (collective bargaining) history. The importance of understanding and establishing a comprehensive LGBTQ labor history, as well as an LGBTQ history in general, will be discussed in terms of assisting in the creation of LGBTQ visibility and reinforcing LGBTQ existence prior to the 1960s sexual revolution. After the lecture the floor will be yielded to an open Q&A.
