International Connections

Forty years after the 1969 Stonewall Riots, Gay Pride Festivals now take place all over the developed world, connecting GLBT communities for advocacy, celebration, and finding love. Meanwhile, in other countries, same-sex love and gender nonconformity remain targets of discrimination, punishment and other forms of violence.

And yet, in progressive and oppressive nations alike, GLBT communities exist. Journals and newsletters are the basic tools for building these communities. For many years, Jean Tretter has collected these journals and newsletters. Now the Tretter Collection is one of the best resources for these materials in the world.
