Highlights

- Walk the spaces and the places that witnessed history: the Stonewall Riots of June 1969 made Greenwich Village the epicenter of gay life
- Discover the gay men and lesbians who influenced art, politics, music and literature, reaching far beyond the borders of Greenwich Village
- The Tour’s focus is the gay community of the Village; but we cannot ignore the larger context in which the members of that community thrived
