Coming out LGBT in the 1950s, 60s, 70s and 80s

The Pye/Harris Legacy Project (PHLP) was inspired by Ed Pye and Bob Harris, a couple who created four videos of interviews between students and gay and lesbian elders which chronicle the trials and tribulations of the 1950s, 60s. 70s, and 80s. The purpose of the project is to reassure young gay people they are not alone and that living with pride and dignity creates a powerful political statement. In addition to the videos, teachers can access a curriculum, which offers key landmark events, people, and moments in LGBT history for each decade along with suggested activities.
