Prejudice and Pride: LGBT Visibility in the 1990s

In this June 24, 1990, Darryl Brantley, a waiter at New Jimmy's, poses with NYPD officers while dressed in a Playboy bunny outfit as they await the Pride parade to make its way past the bar.

Claire Potter, professor of history at the New School and executive editor of Public Seminar, discusses the media landscape and how it began to include the LGBT community in the 1990s.

Gotta agree that @BrianLehrer could show love to "Paris is Burning." That film was SO IMPORTANT, esp for queer people of color. pic.twitter.com/NzokhlBltn
