New Orleans, 1973: Where one of the deadliest mass killings of LGBTQ+ people in American history has just taken place. 29 people died in the space of 16 minutes and 3 more later on making the death toll 32.

In the aftermath, instead of public outcry the victims and survivors were mocked and forgotten about. And today, most people don’t even know it happened. So today we’re diving into the Upstairs Lounge massacre, unpacking what happened from start to finish, remembering everyone that was part of this tragic moment in history.
