More “Patchy” Long Beach LGBT History

Long Beach Chisme by James Suazo and Daniel Speer

Episode notes

James and Daniel fire up the gay time machine and bring along friend of the pod Phillip Zonkel of Q Voice News. They set the dial for the late 1960s, the coordinates for Wilmington, CA where a little bar called The Patch, run by Long Beach resident Lee Glaze, became the site of one of the earliest known gay liberation protests, pre-dating the Stonewall Riots in New York City. Buckle up for discussions on police homophobia, male-on-male dancing, and why queer bars have always been so central to LGBTQ safety, community, and activism.
