Set your time travel clocks back to the early ’60s as we take a listening trip through the growing sexual freedom of the ’60s & ’70s & early ’80s as we track the ever-increasing LGBT themes in popular songs of the day.

He has served as a volunteer board member for Forum For Equality for the past 15 years, and currently serves as its PAC Chairman. Coffee and pastries provided courtesy of PJ’s Coffee.
