Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wisc.) and former Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) appear together for a conversation on legislative and societal challenges and victories that helped shape the long struggle for LGBTQ rights.
Baldwin was elected to the Senate in 2012 and made history as Wisconsin’s first woman to serve in the U.S. Senate and the first openly gay member elected to Senate. Frank served as a congressman from 1981-2013. In 1987, he became the first member of Congress to voluntarily acknowledge that he is gay and, in 2012, became the first member of Congress to marry his same-sex partner.
Joshua Johnson, host of NPR’s daily program “1A,” will moderate the conversation.
The program marks the launch of a series of events leading up to the 50th anniversary of the June, 1969 police raid of the Stonewall Inn and the protests that inspired the modern gay liberation movement. In March, 2019, the Newseum will open its new exhibit, “Rise Up: Stonewall and the Gay Rights Movement” which will explore how activists have used their First Amendment freedoms to fight for an end to discrimination.
Following the program, Frank will sign copies of his 2015 memoir, “Frank: A Life in Politics from the Great Society to Same-Sex Marriage” which will be made available for purchase.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.
