Take this tour to find out more about the amazing LGBTQ+ history of the Village, as we explore the far west and east side of the village: from the concert venue where the "pansy balls" of the 1920s were held and the house of America's first out gay painter to the place where Lady Bunny started Wigstock and the memorial to the 100,000+ New Yorkers who have died of AIDS in the 40 years since its appearance. After this tour (or both of our Village tours if this is your first time) you will be ready to join in New York's 51st (and 2nd virtual) Pride march.
