GAY DAY AT KPFK - A 2009 TIME CAPSULE PROJECT
ABOUT THE BROADCAST | PARTICIPATE | ||
In 1978 KPFK began annual Gay Day broadcasts commemorating the Stonewall riots that sparked the modern Gay liberation movement in 1969. They continued until 1995 when they stopped. Fourteen years of cultural, political and societal changes brings us to another exploration of expressing in sound who the LGBTQ community is at this point when the movement has been reignited with the California Supreme Court decision to uphold Prop8.

| The time capsule: What would you say to people in 2059 about your life as a Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual or transgender person? This radio project seeks to collect as many stories as possible between the day of broadcast and June 13, 2010. Archiving and cataloging the stories in the Pacifica Radio Archives and the Library of Congress will make it possible for it to be re-opened and rebroadcast in 2059.
