> Although Charles Village is better known for its colorful “painted ladies,” the neighborhood was home to many of the activists and institutions at the heart of the city’s LGBT community in the 1970s and 1980s. Historian Richard Oloizia and long-time activist Louis Hughes will take us on a walk past local landmarks from the original home of the Gay Community Center of Baltimore, now the GLCCB, to the St. Paul Street church that supported the growth of the Metropolitan Community Church, Baltimore’s oldest LGBT religious organization, and the radical feminist publishers, writers and activists gave a voice to lesbian authors who might not otherwise have been read. Whether you lived this history or are learning it for the first time, thistour is a unique opportunity to explore the places that shaped the growth of Baltimore’s LGBT community and civil rights movement.
