The Sound of Pride: Stonewall at 50

We’re Here. We’re Fluid. Get Used To It. From The Stakes

In honor of Stonewall’s 50th anniversary, it’s time for an intergenerational queer conversation. <a href="https://www.wnycstudios.org/people/kristin-tomlinson/">Kristin Tomlinson</a> (pictured above) is a gender fluid, pansexual 21-year-old. She takes Kai into her very fluid online and IRL world of cartoon cats in crop tops, Instagram icons and friends who see gender as just another construct. Along the way, we look at the meaning of labels and categories for youth today and whether they’re necessary to create and claim political and social space in the LGBTQ community.
We also hear from:

It’s been 50 years since the uprising at the Stonewall Inn—an event that is widely considered to be the catalyst for the LGBTQ civil rights movement. To commemorate this moment, we’re bringing you an all new podcast series that celebrates queer stories and voices.

Join Kathy Tu and Tobin Low, hosts of the Nancy podcast, for a special series of episodes that explore how this moment in history—and the setback and achievements that followed—have shaped the LGBTQ experience today. For more on our coverage of Stonewall at 50, visit wnyc.org/stonewall50.
