When the Mattachine's founder is called to testify, when ONE Magazine is seized by the post office, and when the FBI begins to interrogate activists, how does the movement continue to fight?

Meanwhile, Mattachine's founder Harry Hay is called to testify before HUAC. How does the gay movement continue to fight? Season 1 finale.

Thank you to everyone who came out for three nights of live Mattachine at the GLBT History Museum! I had a great time meeting all of you and dishing about how fab our queer ancestors are and how evil J. Edgar Hoover was. Looking forward to another season of celebrating our past. The tea will be HOT. ☕️
Look at these cuties! What an honor to meet @cmsmiley425 and @jantipuesto 💋
