On the eve of the 50^th anniversary of the Stonewall uprising, Christina Cauterucci, Bryan Lowder, and Brandon Tensley hosted a live show in New York City’s Joe’s Pub. They began with a World Pride–size edition of Pride and Provocations. They were joined by author Alexander Chee to discuss the legacies of queer activism and thought that inform his writing. May Hong and Garcia, the breakout stars of Netflix’s Tales of the City, also stopped by to talk about their connection to a series with a beloved legacy of its own. Finally, the hosts responded to questions from the audience. The show ends with a toast.
