Raising the Queer Liberation Flag

Last week we brought you interviews with Arm the Dollz discussing the previous attempt at restoring the Queer Liberation flag. This week we’ll be bring to air some of the interviews at the Feb. 12th’s demonstration by hundreds at the Stonewall National Monument over the removal of the LGBT pride Flag by the Trump Administration. The interviews were  conducted by Mimi Rosenberg of WBAI’s Building Bridges program and Equal Rights and Justice program. We join Mimi as she’s in the thick of the packed demonstration and interviews some children about why they are there.
