Queens Museum Exhibits LGBT Culture

Queens, one of the five boroughs of New York City explored its role in LGBT History of the City with an amazing exhibit at the Queens Museum with a gala opening night reception on June 9, 2017 that I was honored to be a part of.  The exhibit is called The Lavender Line: Coming Out in Queens."  Many of the pieces on display came from the personal archives of City Council Member Danny Dromm, who founded the Queens Pride Parade 25 years ago.  I had a wonderful time with former Senator Tom Duane, Michael Mallon, dancers from SALGA (South Asian Lesbian/Gay Association) and Caribbean Pride and many others.
