CHATTER AWAY: Overnight Open Thread

Playbill reports:

EQUAL, a four-part docuseries celebrating trailblazers who fought for justice and equality in the queer community of post-war America and the pre-Stonewall uprising, will premiere in October on HBO Max.

Premiering during LGBT History Month, EQUAL honors the rebels of yesteryear with archival footage along with depictions that bring to life their back stories.

Part 3 examines the contributions from the Black community on the growing LGBTQ+ civil rights movement; and Part 4 ties in the decades-long struggles with the culminated Stonewall uprising—the beginning of the Pride movement.
