Show Notes
Mark Segal may be known today as the founder of the Philadelphia Gay News, but some of his best stories happened earlier. He broke barriers for the LGBTQ community at Stonewall, was a marshal at the first Pride parade, and drew national eyes to the movement by disrupting major news broadcasts. We talked with him about the many bold actions he took to make himself and his community visible, the remarkable changes that came as a result of his work, and how he feels now looking back on 52 years of activism.
