Sonoma County has always had an LGBTQI presence. What was happening here in the years before the 1969 Stonewall Riots? What did gender nonconformity look like in Sonoma during the 1970s and 80s? How did we help stop a national anti-LGBTQ movement? Did the intersex movement start here? Dungan came out during the early 1970s through her involvement in the first SSU Women’s Studies program. Since 2007, she has been working on the Lesbian Archives of Sonoma County. Reinstein has been involved in LGBTQI culture and politics for decades and produces OUTwatch, Wine Country’s LGBTQI Film Festival.
