Old Hollywood LGBTQ History Tour

1 hour 30 minutes (approximately)
Offered in: English

Let's explore the hidden LGBTQ+ roots of Hollywood, from the carefully curated images of the "studio system" to the lavender marriages and other censorship methods used to keep actors, directors, producers, choreographers and other industry professionals in the "celluloid closet."

We'll learn about the pervading legacies of icons like Judy Garland and visit where the first permitted Pride parade in the world was held.

Hollywood was never as heterosexual as it seemed. Let's dive into the resilience, creativity, and chosen family that formed Tinseltown's legacy.
