In 1962, The Blue Tempo bar opened in the West Michigan beach town of Saugatuck. It was one of the first gay bars in the region, at a time when state liquor laws prohibited serving gay customers. The Blue Tempo's opening helped solidify this part of West Michigan as a “home for all,” notably the LGBTQ community. G Angel, GVSU '20 alum and current PhD Student in Indiana University Bloomington’s Gender Studies Department, will discuss the flourishing of the local LGBTQ community during the 1960-70s. This live Zoom webinar is free and open to all.
