Pride Book Event with Mary Alice Hostetter

Tuesday, April 11, 2023 | 2:00pm-3:30pm

Mary Alice Hostetter’s debut memoir, Plain: A Memoir of Mennonite Girlhood, tells the story of her journey to define an authentic self amid a rigid religious upbringing as one of twelve children in a Mennonite farm family. She knows the Mennonites consider themselves “a people apart,” but as an adolescent she wants nothing more than to fit in. She leaves the community, only to come to accept that she is a lesbian, putting her again on the outside. Published as part of the University of Wisconsin Press’ Living Out series, this is a story of one young woman finding and accepting her truth. 

Open to all.

Thursday, May 4, 2023 | 5:30pm-7:30pm

Arnold Beckoff (Harvey Fierstein) is looking for love and acceptance, but as a gay man working as a female impersonator in 1970s New York City, neither come easily. After a series of heartaches, Arnold believes he has found the love of his life in Alan (Matthew Broderick), and the couple make plans to adopt. But when tragedy strikes, Arnold's life is shaken to its very core, leading to a confrontation with his overbearing mother (Anne Bancroft), who has never approved of her son's lifestyle.

Gay at the CIA (Pride)

Wednesday, May 10, 2023 | 5:30pm-7:00pm

LGBTQ Americans beginning in the 1940s and ending in 1995 faced explicit and pervasive restrictions on their ability to obtain a security clearance and serve our country as a Federal employee. Andy Dunn, who spent 29 years working at the Central Intelligence Agency and retired in late 2021 as the most senior openly gay official since the Agency's founding in 1947, will discuss the history of this discrimination, how the restrictions were challenged and weakened--and eliminated--over six decades, and his own experiences at CIA in the final days of and decades following the lifting of the ban.

Open to all.
