Forty years ago this month, the Gay Alliance was not even born. That would happen a year later in December, 1973. The Gay Liberation front was alive and well at the University of Rochester. Students and members of the greater Rochester community were established and looking at issues that we still confront today. Look at these happenings in 1973 – could be topics for today.
