When New York City police raided a gay club in June 1969, it led to six days of violence and protest, which became known as the Stonewall riots. That event marked the beginning of the national gay rights movement and is the reason why Pride Month is celebrated in June.
For those who want to learn more about that landmark moment, as well as other historic moments in LGBTQ history, “In the Life” is an indispensable resource. The series, which aired from 1992 to 2012, was the first nationally broadcast LGBTQ newsmagazine on public television. Created by film director John Scagliotti, the respected, award-winning series was unique for its focus on the LGBTQ community, which was often ignored or misrepresented by media at the time.

Ric was one of the pivotal people of our generation both in the information age and in the gay rights movement. He was right at the center; he was one of the architects. We wouldn t live in the world that we live in today without the contribution that Ric made.
While this quote from Michael Failla, a friend of Ric Weiland, sounds like affectionate hyperbole, it comes fairly close to truth, as we hear in the new documentary
Yes I Am: The Ric Weiland Story, which will premiere at the Provincetown Film Festival (June 16-25).
Who is Ric Weiland, you may ask? He warrants much greater name recognition in the LGBTQ community, though he s been dead for 15 years, a corrective convincingly argued in the film. Produced by the gay team Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato of World of Wonder and narrated by out actor Zachary Quinto, the film is an apologia and witness to an individual, who despite almost overwhelming personal challenges, used his wealth and good fortune to make the world a bet
